Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have today named hookers Riley Brown and Kayne Lawton in an extended 18-man squad for Sunday's Trans-Tasman clash against the New Zealand Warriors at Skilled Park.
With hooker Nathan Friend set to undergo minor shoulder surgery this week which will rule him out for an indefinite period, Jetstar Titans Coach John Cartwright has selected Brown at hooker and Lawton on an extended five-man interchange bench to take on the Warriors.
Both have been in-form recently while playing for Jetstar Titans' Queensland Cup feeder clubs Burleigh Bears (Brown) and Tweed Heads Seagulls (Lawton). Brown has plenty of NRL experience with 48 matches to date, including four games this season, while Lawton, a Tweed Heads junior, has 2 NRL appearances to his name.
"They're there because there's a spot available and they're the best men for the job so there's no time for auditions,'' said Cartwright.
"It's a big game for us this week and we want to go back-to-back wins.
"(Riley) hasn't had a lot of game time there but he played the first three or four games (at hooker) and we had a good win down at Canberra and were close on a few other occasions. He's been in good form for Burleigh and he deserves his chance.
"(Kayne) has been playing well at Seagulls and we've got to see what he can do at NRL level.''
City Origin representative Mark Minichiello has also been named in the Jetstar Titans' starting line-up in the hope that he will be fit to back-up following Friday night's City vs Country clash in Albury.
Cartwright said the final 17-man squad would not be decided until the team's final training session on Saturday.
The Titans have won six out of eight matches against the Warriors, including all four matches played at Skilled Park to date.

Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans will roll out the big guns in Coffs Harbour this weekend, with Head Coach John Cartwright today naming a near full-strength line-up for Saturday night's pre-season trial match against Souths.
Jetstar Titans captain and halfback Scott Prince will form a new-look halves combination with Indigenous All Stars teammate Greg Bird while fellow stars Preston Campbell, Luke Bailey, Ashley Harrison, William Zillman and Coffs Harbour junior Kevin Gordon will all line up for their first pre-season matches for 2011.
In a significant step for flyer David Mead, the Papua New Guinean International will play his first game since suffering a season-ending foot injury in Round 16, 2010 after being named in the starting line-up on the wing.
Former Newcastle and Sydney Roosters utility Riley Brown will be given the chance to impress at hooker in the absence of regular No.9 Nathan Friend, who is still working his way back to full fitness following off-season surgery.
Friend (shoulder), Anthony Laffranchi (hamstring), Brad Meyers (knee), Esi Tonga (broken nose) and Ryan James (suspension) are the only absentees from the 26-man playing squad to take on the Rabbitohs.
Bird, who played the first part of last season in the halves alongside Prince, said he was again looking forward to wearing the Titans' No.6 jersey, which has been left open following the retirement of Dual International Mat Rogers.
"Like I've said before, it's whatever is going to be the best for the team,'' said Bird.
"I think I'll be starting there but there are a lot of other guys in the squad, Jordan Rankin and Luke Capewell, who will probably get an opportunity to show their talents there as well.
"It's a long football season and you don't really know where you are going to play or if you're going to play the whole year in the one position.''
Zillman performed strongly when given an opportunity on the wing at the back end of last season following the loss of Mead to injury but will be eager to impress at fullback with the Round 1 clash against St George Illawarra at Skilled Park on Saturday, March 12 under a month away.
The 24-year-old also said Bird's versatility would be valuable for the team heading into 2011.
"The bloke plays for Australia so just to have him in the team is extremely valuable for us,'' said Zillman of Bird.
"Obviously he goes very well in the backrow but he's showed signs that he can be a bit of a ball player as well so playing him at five-eighth, we're certainly not losing anything there.
"I've just got to get out there and do my best. All the other boys are going to be doing the same so hopefully I can get a spot there in the team and if it is at fullback, then that'll be great.''
Kick-off is at 7pm at BCU International Stadium, Coffs Harbour. Tickets can be purchased through TicketDirect Australia on 1300 798 550. Pricing details are listed below.
