The Sharks backs-to-the-wall win over the Panthers on Sunday, snapping a two-game losing streak, was achieved without two of their highest profile players and despite losing another in Luke Lewis within the opening 15-minutes of the match.
Even more positive was the performances of those who came into the side, and with Wade Graham and Jayson Bukuya set to return this week, the Sharks will head to the Gold Coast on Saturday confident of another strong showing.
Sharks coach Shane Flanagan has retained back rower Scott Sorensen after his efforts against the Panthers, with the addition of Graham the only change to the starting side.
As for the bench, Bukuya is back, with James Segeyaro, Ava Seumanufagai and Kurt Dillon also named to the interchange, Kurt Capewell, Jack Williams, Braden Uele and Trent Hodkinson on the extended reserves list.
The Sharks 21-man squad will be cut back to 19 in the 24-hours prior to kick off, with the final 17 announced one hour before the game on Saturday.
The Sharks v Titans match is scheduled for a 5.30pm start at Cbus Stadium.
