Jarryd Hayne will spearhead the Gold Coast's NRL Auckland Nines campaign in his tournament debut next month.
The fullback headlines a 19-strong Titans squad named on Monday for the Nines that includes comeback half Kane Elgey and recently re-signed prop Ryan James.
But young gun No.7 Ashley Taylor and hookerNathan Peats have been rested ahead of the NRL All Stars clash.
Hayne - a Nines ambassador - joins Elgey at the February 4-5 event after the halfback recovered from the knee injury that ruled him out of the 2016 NRL season.
Damaging front-rower James will also feature after re-signing with the Titans for a further three years earlier this month.
Other Titans regulars named were Anthony Don, ex-Queensland back-rower Chris McQueen, Leivaha Pulu and Tyrone Roberts.
The Nines squad also includes journeyman winger Daniel Vidot - who will make his Titans debut in Auckland - as well as Under 20s players Alexander Brimson and Tyronne Roberts-Davis.
The Titans are backing themselves to at least repeat last year's Nines semi-final berth despite being without big name signings Kiwi forward Kevin Proctor and English international Dan Sarginson as well as centre Konrad Hurrell.
