Oliver Pascoe is eager to return for Saturday's Broncos derby after missing the final 13 minutes of the Titans' last outing against the Sea Eagles with a Category 1 HIA.
Serving the mandatory 11-day stand-down over the most recent bye week, the 26-year-old is ready to be unleashed in the No. 9 jersey after taking over starting hooker duties in Round 10.
Gold Coast coach Josh Hannay has kept his team unchanged for his second Macca's Local Derby in charge, keeping the attention on his Titans team but wary of how the Broncos will want to bounce back from their loss to the Dragons.
"They're the premiers and they're coming off the high of that, so it's expected there will be a response [to last week's result] this week," Hannay said at Friday's captain's run.
'We're really energised to play well for our people': Hannay
"We've been really focussed on us and I've been happy with a lot of what we're doing [this season].
"The only thing I'm not happy about is our record. There's a lot of other things I couldn't be happier with.
"Coming off the bye, we're really energised to play well tomorrow night."
Tony Francis and Bodhi Sharpley make way out of the game day squad with Lachlan Ilias (#22) travelling with the team up the M1 as part of the extended interchange.
Kick-off is at 7.35pm on Saturday at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane.
