Jaylan De Groot will join the Titans' bench for Saturday's clash against the Warriors at a sold out Cbus Super Stadium.

The 23-year-old is set to offer Josh Hannay outside back coverage after scoring a double at left centre last Sunday against the Dragons - AJ Brimson returning in that position after missing last week's win due to concussion.

Kurtis Morrin also returns from a leg infection as Gold Coast eye to notch up three wins on the trot for the first time in 2026; having won four of their past seven games - including two of their last three at home.

Hoping to avenge their Round 7 defeat in New Zealand, Hannay's men have won six of their last nine games against the Warriors, including four of their past six Trans-Tasman clashes at Robina.

Kick-off is at 3pm; live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
