Gold Coasts former Vodafone Junior Warriors prop Mark Ioane (pictured) has been named to make his NRL debut against his old club in Sundays eighth-round NRL encounter at Mount Smart Stadium (2.00pm kick-off; NYC kick-off 11.45am; match day sponsor; DEWALT). Photo: Photosport.
Ioane was in the Vodafone Junior Warriors inaugural NYC premiership-winning side in 2010, going on to pursue a first-grade breakthrough with Canberra.
It didnt work out for him at the Raiders but this season the Otahuhu Leopards junior has found his feet with the Titans, named on the bench today for Gold Coasts visit to his hometown.
Ioane comes into a Titans side missing three players named in the opening minutes of last Sundays encounter with Newcastle loose forward Ashley Harrison, utility Luke ODwyer and hooker Matt Srama.
