GOLD COAST TITANS FORM: TITANS DOMIANTE BRONCOS

GOLD COAST TITANS TEAM NEWS: FERMOR DROPS OUT
There is only one change to Des Hasler’s side with it being an enforced one. Beau Fermor suffered a bruised kidney in last week’s win so makes way for Klese Haas with Keenan Palasai coming onto the bench. AJ Brimson is listed as 18th man and could feature.
Starting 13: 1. Keano Kini 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. Phillip Sami 5. Jojo Fifita 6. Jayden Campbell 7. Kieran Foran 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Sam Verrills 10. Erin Clark 11.

Jacob Alick-Wiencke 22. Tony Francis
CRONULLA SHARKS TEAM NEWS: BRAILEY LINES UP AT HALFBACK
The loss of Braydon Trindall means that there is a surprise name in the #7 jersey with Blayke Brailey taking up the unfamiliar role. Cameron McInnes shifts to hooker with Jack Williams at lock.
Starting 13: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro 5. Samuel Stonestreet 6. Daniel Atkinson 7. Blayke Brailey 8. Royce Hunt 9. Cameron McInnes 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11.

GOLD COAST TITANS VS CRONULLA SHARKS PREDICTION
Gold Coast Titans are still in with a shout of completing a remarkable achievement of making the finals, despite being woeful in the first half of the season. They were brilliant in their big win over Brisbane Broncos last week and will hold no fear here as they host Cronulla Sharks. The away side have won two of their last three but will field a makeshift spine this week and that opens the door for the Titans to make it six wins from seven.
