Affiliate Wrap: Liyou, HSS Make Long-Awaited Return from Injury
In a recent match, the Ipswich Jets faced a heartbreaking loss, narrowly falling to the Townsville Blackhawks with a score of 21-20.
Despite this disappointment, the game marked a significant moment for Titans duo Ben Liyou and Harley Smith-Shields, who made their much-anticipated return after injuries kept them sidelined for the early part of the 2025 season.
Liyou was recovering from an ACL rupture, while Smith-Shields was recuperating from back surgery.
Their comeback took place at North Ipswich Reserve, where they were greeted with cheers from supporters.
Both players showcased their skills and made a positive impact on the game.
While the Jets are set to face the Capras in Yeppoon next, the Seagulls will be traveling to Sunshine Coast to take on the Falcons after a bye weekend.
