Gold Coast's primary halves pairing will be reunited with the return of Jayden Campbell for the Titans' Friday night battle against the Knights in Newcastle.

The No. 7's recovery from an ankle injury is one of two changes made by coach Des Hasler, replacing Tom Weaver who has been ruled out under the HIA protocols; meanwhile, Jojo Fifita also comes back onto the wing after missing last Sunday with a minor arm infection.

The remainder of the side remains unchanged from Magic Round with David Fifita not named in the 22-man squad after Titans medicos confirmed the forward will seek further medical advice for an ongoing ankle complaint.

Having beaten the Knights 26-6 earlier this season, Gold Coast will be aiming to make it two from two against the Novocastrians, with the trip to the Hunter Valley even more special for two members of the club's engine room.

Captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will bring up a century of NRL appearances after beginning his career at the Storm in 2019; whilst long-serving prop Moeaki Fotuaika is ready to rumble in his 150th game - becoming the third most-capped Titans player behind Mark Minichiello (173) and Will Zillman (156).

Kick-off is at 6pm on Friday at McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle.
