Griffin produced a late reshuffle for last Sunday's road outing against the high-flying Storm, giving Talatau Amone a start in his preferred five-eighth slot and shifting Jack Bird to the back row.
They've been named to reprise those roles, with Amone named in the No. 6 jumper and Bird - who's set to ink an extension with the club this week - named in the No. 11.
The reshuffle allowed Jayden Sullivan to come onto the bench from where he's been deployed at dummy-half the past two weeks.
He'll wear the No. 14 and will again share hooking duties with veteran rake Andrew McCullough who's been named after scans allayed initial fears that he'd suffered a broken hand in the loss to the Storm.
Powerhouse front-rower Francis Molo is also free to play after entering an early guilty plea to a grade one crusher tackle and copping a $3000 fine.
Fans clamouring to see young gun Tyrell Sloan recalled will likely need to wait at least another week after he was named on the extended reserves list.
After looking to be in dire straits a month ago, the Dragons put together three straight wins before running into the Storm juggernaut last week.
They'll like their chances of bouncing back against a Titans outfit that's lost its last five games on the bounce, with coach Justin Holbrook making a significant change in recalling young-gun Jayden Campbell at fullback.
It will see AJ Brimson shift back to the No. 6 jumper as the Titans look to notch just their second win in eight outings against the Dragons.
