Mark Ioane to debut as Gold Coast Titans ring changes Gold Coast sustained some serious damage on the injury department as Newcastle logged their first NRL win. FORMER Warriors junior Mark Ioane will make his NRL debut for Gold Coast this weekend against his old club. Ioane has been drafted into the injury-hit Titans' line-up for Sunday's match at Mt Smart Stadium with Ashley Harrison (ankle), Luke O'Dwyer (broken jaw) and Matt Srama (fractured hand) all ruled out. Joining the 22-year-old in the Titans' line-up will be outside backs Kevin Gordon and Brad Takairangi while 21-year-old Sam Irwin returns to first grade after his impressive debut against Parramatta three weeks ago. Ioane said his call-up had come out of the blue and he couldn't wait to tell his parents in New Zealand the news. I've been waiting for this chance for a long while. It's been two years in the making," Ioane said. It came out of the blue ... Carty (coach John Cartwright) announced the team and I was pretty shocked and excited for it. Ioane's selection has forced coach Cartwright to shuffle his forward pack with Luke Bailey reclaiming a starting spot and co-captain Nate Myles moving back to lock to fill in for Harrison. "Roles will change a little bit with Harro being out and Nate dropping back to the back of the scrum," he said. Mark Ioane at training today. Picture: Scott Fletcher Luke was close to getting a start somewhere and it's through injuries he's got that chance. The Titans received good news on Harrison and Srama's injuries earlier today, with both expected to only miss between two to three weeks. O'Dwyer is likely to be ruled out for four to six weeks.
