Not only has the Kangaroos junior won two grand finals, moved states but now he has three NRL games under his belt.

It's something the 23-year-old dreamed of but didn't think it would become a reality.

"It was a dream to play first grade but to be able to play a few sorta back-to-back I never would have imagined," Jolliffe said.

After five years in the Sharks development system, which saw him part of Newtown's double premiership success last year, Jolliffe headed to Queensland for a new opportunity.

Linking with Queensland Cup outfit Burleigh Bears, Jolliffe then earned himself a train and trial contract with the Gold Coast Titans.

A trip to Perth as part of their squad for the NRL Nines followed in February before Jolliffe was given a spot on the bench for the round one clash with Canberra.

Plus a new deal with the NRL club.

Now he's looking to make the most of his opportunity.

"I don't always know what my role is going to be in the game so whenever I get on the field I have to put my best foot forward and do all the selfless things on the field," Jolliffe said.

"All the feedback has been really good since I've arrived at the club. They've shown me the time and put the effort in to develop me as a player and I really appreciate that."

Jolliffe couldn't have been closer to home for his first taste of the NRL in Canberra.

Although it was certainly a big challenge up against last year's beaten grand finalists on their home turf.

It proved to be too big a task for the Titans, who lost 46-6, but it will be a lasting memory.

"The debut was unreal," Jolliffe said.

"It would have been nicer to have a win but to play in front of my family and have them travel over from Wagga was pretty special.

"I enjoyed every minute of it. The week with the build up and then the game as well. I got on, done my best and just really enjoyed it."

Jolliffe was again on the bench for the round two clash against Parramatta.

However things were very different.

While he had around 40 family and friends in the crowd at Canberra, this game was played in front of empty stands.

The 23-year-old admitted it set a very different scene.

"Going from playing in front of a crowd to an empty stadium was different," Jolliffe said.

"There wasn't as much noise, you could hear everyone clearly on the field and when you are out there you aren't really looking out as you're focused on the field but it is the pre-game and post game that you notice there is no crowd."

Then there was the waiting.

With the NRL season stopped due to the pandemic, Jolliffe and the Titans were in limbo and left to their own devices.

The May 28 restart date gave them something to strive for.

"It was very strange but we are back on track, footy is going and hopefully crowds are allowed back soon," he said.

However Jolliffe wasn't part of their return clash, a 36-6 loss to North Queensland in Townsville.

New coach Justin Holbrook wielded the selection axe after another heavy loss to restart the season allowing Jolliffe another opportunity.

He had to wait until late into the clash against Wests Tigers on Sunday to make his impact but being part of a special win for the club was worth it.

"Everyone was just excited," Jolliffe said.

"It has been a pretty long drought for them and a lot of boys have been there through the tough times.

"We know we can get a lot better so to get a win with the effort everyone put in was special. I know we will be working on putting a few wins together and being competitive to really rip in this season."

It was almost a year between wins for the club and Jolliffe hopes it is just the start of a bigger revival for the club.

"We can't dwell on it," he said. "Sure we got our first win but we have to keep focusing on improving as a team, getting better and working on the little things.

"Individually I'm always focusing on what I can do better and how I can improve the team."

Once more Jolliffe has been named on the bench as the Titans look to back up their drought-breaking win against South Sydney on Saturday.

It comes with more new experiences.

Jolliffe missed out on the trip to Townsville so the clash at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday will be the first fly-in, fly-out NRL game he's been apart of.

However after years of changes when at the Sharks the front rower believes he's equipped for the task.

"I haven't had to fly-in, fly-out yet but I'm pretty used to it playing a lot of under 20s where you fly-in and fly-out," Jolliffe said.

"We get plenty of time and arrive early to have a meal and have a stretch so I don't think it should affect us.

"You can't use something like that as an excuse. It is something everyone has to do so you take it as it is."

Like the Titans, the Rabbitohs have won just one of their four games this season.

However their star-studded rivals loom as a big challenge as the club looks to work its way off the bottom of the ladder.

"They are a really strong outfit and for us we just need to keep working on ourselves," Jolliffe said.

"If we are going to win the game it comes down to what we do right.

"If we can play a good style of football we will go well."

The clash will also be played virtually behind closed doors, with some allowed into corporate hospitality areas.

Jolliffe hopes he can soon get back to that first round feeling, playing in front of the fans.

"It's been very interrupted and it would be good if crowds and people can start getting back," he said. "It is something people can look forward to, getting out to games.

"I know when I was growing up I loved going to the footy and I think a lot of people will be itching to get back and watch a few live games."
