Fit Fa'asuamaleaui eyes Round 1 Sharks encounter

Titans enforcer Tino Fa'asuamaleaui has dismissed concerns about his fitness for Gold Coast's season opener against the Sharks after successfully recovering from a minor knee surgery during the off-season.

The Kangaroos prop underwent surgery upon returning from international duties in England but has since returned to full fitness in training. He is eager to get back on the field with his teammates following his time in representative football and recovery.

Fa'asuamaleaui is enjoying working under new head coach Josh Hannay, with whom he has previously collaborated during Queensland camps. The 25-year-old has expressed his admiration for the high standards and work ethic that have been established as the team gears up for the upcoming season.
