Titans coach Des Hasler will turn to youth for their Magic Round clash, making three changes for Sunday's showdown against the Bulldogs.

With Jaimin Jolliffe unavailable due to suspension and Brock Gray out for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury, 2024 rookie of the year Josiah Pahulu has been named to play his first game of the year via the bench after coming back via the Hostplus Cup following concussion in the pre-season.

Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui also returns to the side on the pine alongside Klese Haas, who is back from a quick stint with the Tweed Seagulls - David Fifita shifting to the reserves.

The starting side remains as per the team who faced the Cowboys in Townsville, with Jayden Campbell and Kieran Foran still sidelined due to injury.

Having won two of their past three Magic Round clashes, the Titans will be eyeing to avenge their Round 2 loss to the Bulldogs to get back in the winners' circle after a tough month of results.

Kick-off is at 1.50pm on Sunday at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane.
