TEAM NEWS... Roosters are 1-17. We can't say the same for their opponents - the Titans were only able to name 16 players on Tuesday. David Mead was named at fullback but his back injury means he was never going to play. Kevin Gordon will shift there with Steve Michaels coming onto the wing. Jordan Atkins also returns to play in the centres, meaning Jamie Dowling will drop back to fill the vacant bench spot.
