Josh Hannay has named a host of exciting prospects in his side’s first team for their pre-season challenge clash with the Dolphins.
After being heavily pursued by the Storm, rising PNG star Cooper Bai will line up in the No.13 jersey while potential NRL bolter Sialetili Faeamani will feature on the wing.
Bai, 19, made his first grade debut in Round 27 last year, going on to make his Test debut — and in both games he showed immense talent, sparking a bidding war for his services.

Ultimately, Hannay convinced the young gun to remain on the Gold Coast, signing a two-year contract extension which sees the rising star remain at the Titans until the end of 2028.
Faeamani, meanwhile, joined the club on a development contract after moving from the Titans and emerged as a shock candidate to win a spot in Hannay’s backline.
He bears striking similarities to the style of Penrith superstar Brian To’o, bursting through defensive lines with a short and stocky frame.
