Gold Coast Titans coach Neil Henry will welcome former skipper Greg Bird (pictured)back into his side for the clash with ladder leaders Cronulla on Monday night.
Bird is returning from a weeks suspension and his toughness and experience will be vital as the Titans attempt to bring to an end the Sharks 15 game winning streak.
The club will feel the loss of hooker Nathan Friend and Henry has added Ryan Simpkins to his bench to offer support to Nathan Peats in the dummy half role.
