THE TEAM NEWS
GOLD COAST TITANS
- Gold Coast Titans will begin life under Des Hasler with a home game against St. George Illawarra Dragons and they are fancied to get the new era off to a good start.
- The Titans look to possess some real quality throughout their side and will begin the year with AJ Brimson in a new role in the centres while Keano Kini will slot in at fullback in place of the injured Jayden Campbell.
Starting 13: 1. Keano Kini 2. Alofiana Khan-Pereira 3. Brian Kelly 4. AJ Brimson 5. Phillip Sami 6. Kieran Foran 7. Tanah Boyd 8. Moeaki Fotuaika 9. Chris Randall 10. Tino Fa'asuamaleaui 11.

ST. GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
- St. George Illawarra Dragons will hope the appointment of Shane Flanagan can turn their fortunes around having finished last year just one place off the bottom of the ladder.
- Their roster is seriously lacking quality and they start this season as wooden spoon favourites with Flanagan placing faith in son Kyle to guide his new side around the park with Ben Hunt.
Starting 13: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Zac Lomax 3. Moses Suli 4. Jack Bird 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Kyle Flanagan 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Blake Lawrie 11. Tom Eisenhuth 12. Jaydn Su'A 13. Jack de Belin Bench: 14. Connor Muhleisen 15. Michael Molo 16. Viliami Fifita 17. Raymond Faitala-Mariner Reserves: 18. Ben Murdoch-Masila 19. Christian Tuipulotu 20. Jesse Marschke 21. Ryan Couchman 22. Mathew Feagai
THE PREDICTION
Gold Coast Titans could be dark horses this season with Des Hasler at the helm of a strong roster. There is plenty of young talent for Hasler to work with, as well as some older heads to guide them. That quality under the right guidance could cause problems for plenty of teams, not least St. George Illawarra Dragons. The away side have it all to do to avoid finishing bottom of the pile this season and the hosts can highlight their problems by claiming a relatively straightforward victory here.
TIP: GOLD COAST TITANS -6
