The Knights have won the past two meeting, but haven’t defeated the Titans on the Gold Coast since 2015.

The Knights dominated the Titans earlier in the season with Edrick Lee crossing for a club record five tries in a 38-12 flogging.

The Knights have made a positional change with Jacob Saifiti starting up front with his brother, Daniel, reverting to the bench after missing last week through COVID.

The Titans have given a reprieve to Corey Thompson in the backline in place of Phillip Sami. Klese Haas will make his first grade debut off the bench.

Twelve months ago, these sides were facing off in the corresponding round for a place in the finals. The stakes will be significantly lesser today…
