Injury Report: Jolliffe gearing up for NRL comeback
Titans' powerhouse prop, Jaimin Jolliffe, is on the brink of making his return to the NRL, with a potential comeback looming in front of a raucous home crowd in 2024.
The 27-year-old was tearing up the field with career-best performances in the first 11 rounds of the season before a devastating injury setback during the Titans' clash at Magic Round against Newcastle.
Jolliffe is steadily progressing towards a comeback and is eyeing a return for the Titans' showdown against arch-rivals, the Broncos, in round 22.
This highly anticipated match at Cbus Super Stadium is set to be a real barnburner, with Jolliffe looking to don the cyan jersey once again and make a triumphant return to the field.
In other news, Tony Francis has fully recovered from a shoulder injury sustained in the last face-off against the Broncos in round 12 and is ready for selection.
Meanwhile, speedster AJ Brimson is managing some discomfort following the Titans' victory over the Eels in round 19 as he continues his rehab from a groin injury.
However, it's bad luck for Harley Smith-Shields, who has been sidelined for a considerable period with a pec injury.
A recent hamstring strain during training will extend his time on the sidelines by another five weeks, adding to the Titans' injury woes.
