Prolific try scorer Phil Graham will make his anticipated club debut for the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans in Saturday night’s battle for the Larry Corowa Shield against the Wests Tigers at Skilled Park.
Jetstar Titans Coach John Cartwright today named former Sydney Roosters and Canberra backline utility Graham at fullback in a reshuffled line-up for the Tigers clash following the loss of Captain Scott Prince to an arm injury.

Scans have confirmed Prince has suffered a small tear to the brachialis muscle in his elbow joint, with the halfback to consult an arm specialist in the coming days.
The loss of Prince for this weekend will see William Zillman shift to five-eighth and 20-year-old playmaker Aidan Sezer move to halfback, with Graham promoted to fullback in his first game for the Titans since joining the club in the off-season.

Impressively, Graham has scored 79 tries in 145 NRL matches since making his NRL debut for the Canberra Raiders in 2002.
The Titans will also welcome back Queensland State of Origin forward Ashley Harrison from a one-match suspension.
