Round 27 team: Debuting duo headline side to farewell Foz against Wests Tigers
Highly-anticipated duo Carter Gordon and Cooper Bai will make their NRL debuts as the Titans host the Wests Tigers on Saturday afternoon.
In one of two new faces introduced by coach Des Hasler for the Thank You Member Round clash, former Wallabies fly-half Gordon will make his maiden appearance in the centres to replace the injured Jojo Fifita, whilst Queensland Under 19 powerhouse Bai will take a spot on the bench.
The reshuffle also sees Keano Kini start his first game at fullback since Round 3; pushing AJ Brimson to the centres, whilst Phil Sami has been named to return on the wing after missing last week with a minor groin injury.
The remainder of the side remains unchanged with the showdown to be Kieran Foran's 318th and last appearance in the NRL, closing the curtains on a stellar 17-year career.
Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui will also play his last game for the Titans before joining Catalans in the English Super League next season.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm on Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast.
