Queensland Under 19 star Tyler Pereira will help bolster the Titans' charge north as the Under 21s NRLQ resumes with a clash against the ladder-leading Cowboys in their home arena this Sunday.
A reversal of fortune in Round 9 will boost the Gold Coast's grand final contention after downing the second-placed Dolphins 38-16 prior to the competition's three-week hiatus, now only one point short of a ticket to the big dance with four weeks to play.
Skippered by Isaac Harrison - the brother of NRL-contracted playmaker Zane - he will once again start at lock, joined by Viliami Fifita and Junior Filimaua in an unchanged forward pack.
Rising star Will Shears will fire from the centre alongside Lekani Mpaso and in place of Luke Cesari who was injected into the backline last start.
Rejoining the interchange bench, Keebra Park standouts Justus Lowndes and Cooper Murphy will also take the trip to Townsville.
Kick-off is at 12.05pm on Sunday at Jack Manski Oval, Townsville.
