Source: www.titans.com.auJetstar Gold Coast Titans duo Steve Michaels and Will Matthews have been recalled to a new-look line-up for Saturday night's away clash against the Cronulla Sharks at Toyota Stadium.
Michaels makes his return after being rested from last Sunday's loss to Newcastle due to a series of head knocks while Kyogle junior Will Matthews receives his chance to impress off the interchange bench in his first match for 2011 after battling some niggling injuries earlier in the year.
In other team changes, utility Luke O'Dwyer moves to lock in place of Greg Bird, who has been ruled out of the match with a hamstring injury and winger Dominique Peyroux moves into the centres for Clinton Toopi, who will drop back to the Queensland Cup with the Burleigh Bears.
With Jetstar Titans Coach John Cartwright still in hospital recovering from surgery, Assistant Coach Steve Murphy said the return of Matthews was reward for effort after a string of consistent performances for Queensland Cup feeder club Tweed Heads Seagulls.
"Will Matthews comes back into the side which is great, he's been playing very well for Tweed Seagulls and we're more than happy for him to get the opportunity,'' said Murphy.
Murphy said wholesale team changes were not the answer to the team's current predicament despite the disappointment surrounding last weekend's 50-20 loss to Newcastle.
"We're at the stage of the season where wholesale changes are not going to help us. We've got to build combinations, that's part of the reason with Dom going to the centres. He's contracted at the club for next year so we want to see how we goes there,'' he said.
The Titans have won three from seven matches against the Sharks but are yet to beat Cronulla on home soil at Toyota Stadium in three previous clashes.
"From our point of view, it's one of a few things left on our bucket list that we haven't achieved. We've never won down there and that's the approach we'll be taking into this week,'' he said.
"There's not a game we don't think we can win - we've been in every game, regardless of how we've been finishing games, we've been in the contest and for a number of reasons we haven't been able to come up with the result.''

Source: www.titans.com.auThe Jetstar Gold Coast Titans have named fresh faces Steve Michaels, Clinton Toopi, Shannon Walker and Ben Ridge in a new-look 18-man squad for Friday night's clash against St George Illawarra at WIN Jubilee Stadium.
With five-eighth Greg Bird (hamstring; 3-4 wks) and lock Ashley Harrison (knee; 2 wks) both sidelined with injury, Jetstar Titans coach John Cartwright had named Michaels and Toopi as the new centre pairing in a reshuffled line-up.
Walker, 21, has been included on an extended five-man interchange bench alongside 20-year-old Ridge, who is in contention to make his NRL debut if given the nod to fill one of the four final bench positions.
Completing the reshuffle, dual international Mat Rogers moves from centre to five-eighth in place of Bird while Bodene Thompson shifts from centre to lock in the absence of Harrison.
The promotion marks Michaels' first appearance in Titans colours since joining the club from the Broncos in May while Walker is in the frame to play his first match since Round 19, 2008.
Toopi has scored three tries in five appearances for the Titans this season before sustaining a calf injury.
The Titans will be looking for their first away win against the Dragons when they play for the first time at WIN Jubilee Stadium, having fallen to the red and whites in their three previous clashes in Wollongong.
In the curtain raiser on Friday night, Rod Patison's Titans NYC outfit will be searching for their seventh straight win after storming into eighth spot on the ladder with a mid-season charge.
