Jayden Campbell's inclusion is set to bolster the Titans as they make the trip to Townsville to face the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon.

Expected to return from a minor hamstring strain, the playmaker has been named on the extended interchange with the full training week ahead to ensure he is right to go for the crucial clash against their North Queensland rivals.

Campbell's availability is one of three changes to the 19 with duo Luke Sommerton and Jensen Taumoepeau anticipated to get significant game time back in Hostplus Cup this week after being part of Gold Coast's bench at the weekend.

The Sunday showdown will be a special occasion for forward Chris Randall, who will play his 100th NRL game after making his debut in Round 3, 2020 for the Newcastle Knights.

Joining the Titans in 2023, the 30-year-old has only missed four games in his three seasons on the Gold Coast with this Sunday's match being his 71st for the club.

Kick-off is at 5.15pm (AEST) on Sunday at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville.
