Jarryd Hayne will wear the No.6 jersey in an NRL game for the first time since Round 23, 2013 and his new Titans teammates desperately need him to improve on his winning record when playing five‑eighth.

Given how he performed over 52 minutes in his NRL return last Sunday, Titans coach Neil Henry had no hesitation in promoting Hayne to the starting team in a match against the Wests Tigers on Saturday.

Hayne has only played at five-eighth 14 times previously in his 176‑game career.

The Titans will meet the Tigers 5pm Saturday but the first game of Round 23 is between the Bulldogs and the Sea Eagles at 9.40pm tomorrow.
