The Titans are looking to build momentum as they seek to shut down the in-form Broncos in the latest edition of the South-East Queensland rivalry. 

Josh Hannay secured his first victory as Gold Coast coach last weekend when his side edged St George Illawarra in a Sunday-night thriller. 

Arama Hau was at his destructive best in the win and he’ll be looking to recreate the performance against the defending premiers on Saturday.

Brisbane have found form in the past fortnight, producing a pair of gritty displays to defeat the Storm and Dolphins. 

Coach Michael Maguire is eager to start building consistency and Saturday’s clash marks another opportunity to keep the momentum rolling. 

Reece Walsh will again be in the thick of the action in his 100th NRL match, while halves Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam will orchestrate a high-powered attack. 

Up front, young guns Brendan Piakura and Xavier Willison are set to go face to face with Titans stars Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Mo Fotuaika in an epic battle between two of the biggest packs in the game. 

Brisbane prevailed in both clashes between the sides last year, but Gold Coast will fancy their chances on their home turf.
