Source: www.titans.com.auGold Coast centre/backrower Bodene Thompson has been called into the first grade side for the first time in 2012 in place of injured star centre Jamal Idris for tomorrow's clash against Melbourne at Skilled Park.
Coming off an impressive performance for Titans' feeder club Burleigh Bears last week, Thompson has been called in to replace the injured Idris, who failed a fitness test at the club's final training session at Station Reserve, Robina this morning.
Jetstar Titans coach John Cartwright said it was better to rest Idris rather than risking any further injury this early in the season, and he has full faith in his hard-working replacement Thompson.
"He (Idris) had a strained hamstring so it was always going to be a bit of a stretch, he tried to stride out this morning but it was catching on him, it's probably wise we give him a week off," Cartwright said.
"Its not a bad tear, I'm sure he will be available next week, it's early in the season and a hamstring can be a week or it can be six weeks so we definitely don't want the six week option.
"He (Bodene) was really good for Burleigh last week in the back row, and just with Kevie (Kevin Gordon) not quite being right and David Mead being out, and a bit of doubt over Phil Graham too, unfortunately we will have to put Bo in the centres again, but I'm sure he won't complain.
"It was through necessity last year, and it's through necessity again tomorrow but he did a good job for us there last year and he's a tough boy, he hasn't missed any training, and he's going to jump at the chance."
Despite the loss of Idris, the Titans will be boosted on the other side of the field with new recruit Beau Champion making his debut in the centres for the club since signing with the team last year.

Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have further strengthened their playing stocks for the future by today re-signing rising stars Kevin Gordon and Bodene Thompson to long-term deals.
Young flyer Gordon has signed a new four-year deal which will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2014 season while versatile forward Thompson has signed until the end of 2013 with an option for the 2014 season.
Gordon, a Sawtell (Northern NSW) junior, and Thompson, a product of Keebra Park High School, are both graduates of the Titans Junior Pathways Program, having made the step up from the Jetstar Titans' NYC Under-20s team last year.
Jetstar Titans Managing Director Michael Searle said it was significant that both had made a long-term commitment to the club given their respective age - (Gordon; 20 years of age) and (Thompson; 21 years of age).
"It excites me that both these talented local youngsters have agreed to make a long-term commitment to not only the Titans but the City of the Gold Coast,'' said Searle.
"I've no doubt they would have attracted significant interest from other NRL clubs so the fact they have chosen to stay loyal to the Gold Coast says something great about what we are building here at the Titans.''
Jetstar Titans Head Coach John Cartwright said it had been satisfying watching the progress both had made over the past two years.
"Kevin and Bodene have worked hard on different aspects of the game and it's been pleasing to witness their development into regular first grade players over the past 18 months,'' said Cartwright.
"I'm sure both have their best football in front of them and its great that they will be able to continue their development at the club where they started their careers.''
Gordon has played 48 NRL games since making his debut in 2009 while Thompson has notched 19 first grade appearances to his name, 16 of those this season.
Thompson, who was born in New Zealand and only took up rugby league in his late teens when he began at Keebra Park High School, said he was pleased to secure his long-term future at the club.
"It's good to have some security here over the next few years at the Titans,'' said Thompson.
"The club has been good to me throughout the long time that I've been here so it was pretty easy to make a decision. The Gold Coast is a great place to live.
"We've had a good season this year and I've been lucky enough to get my opportunity off the bench.''
