Allan Fitzgibbon will become Titan #197 with the flyer earning the call-up to replace Jojo Fifita against the Dragons in Wollongong on Friday night.

Gold Coast medicos have opted to keep the 44-gamer on ice after struggling to overcome a cork he sustained during the Round 4 clash against the Roosters - but the outside back is expected to be fit for next Sunday's showdown against the Raiders.

His omission has paved the way for Fitzgibbon to make his NRL debut after impressing coach Des Hasler during the 2025 pre-season.

Born in Coffs Harbour, the 26-year-old joined the Titans on a train-and-trial from the North Sydney Bears where he scored 21 tries across 21 appearances last season, having featured prominently in the New South Wales Cup since 2019.

Fifita joins Tukimihia Simpkins and Sean Mullany as the three players cut from the initial 22-man squad - Tom Weaver and Jacob Alick-Wiencke remaining on the extended bench against the Red V.

Kick-off is at 6pm on Friday at WIN Stadium, Wollongong.
