Titans: The Titans will start 1-17 after Jai Whitbread and Nathan Peats were dropped from the squad 60 minutes before kick-off. Corey Thompson returns to fullback with Treymain Spry to debut on the wing and Tyrone Roberts to the reserves. Sam Stone is called up in the back row with Beau Fermor switching to centre and Tyrone Peachey to the bench. Erin Clark starts for hooker Mitch Rein (ankle). Greg Leleisiuao and Roberts were omitted from the extended squad 24 hours before kick-off. The Titans have lost their past 10 games at Cbus Super Stadium.

Warriors: In a late positional change, Tohu Harris (No.12) moves to lock with Karl Lawton (No.13) to start in the second row. Adam Pompey and Lachlan Burr were omitted an hour before the match. Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck returns from a one-game suspension to fullback with Peta Hiku shifting to centre and Gerard Beale out. Chanel Harris-Tavita starts at five-eighth for Kodi Nikorima (head knock) with Jazz Tevaga back from injury on the bench.

Tevaga said earlier this week he'd prefer to play lock rather than hooker with Wayde Egan able to go the distance at dummy-half. Tuivasa-Sheck has scored a try in five of his past six games against the Titans.

Gerard Beale and King Vuniyayawa were cut from the squad 24 hours before kick-off.
