The Titans are facing a significant setback ahead of their upcoming Macca's Local Derby, as they will be without two key players due to injuries sustained in last week's match against the Storm.
Jojo Fifita, who had an impressive performance, has suffered a broken hand and is expected to be out for two weeks, aiming for a return in Round 16.
Sam Verrills also incurred a similar injury, requiring surgery, and will be sidelined for three weeks, with hopes of returning by Round 17.
In addition to these losses, Jaylan De Groot is unavailable for at least another fortnight following a hamstring injury he sustained during training.
The club is also coordinating with the NRL regarding AJ Brimson's availability after he suffered a head knock in the same training session.
Meanwhile, David Fifita is in the recovery process, having started to run again, but will not be selected this week as he continues evaluations by Titans medical staff following his ankle surgery last month.
