Captain a chance, big boy back ahead of Knights clash

A State of Origin star will return, while the co-captain remains a chance to play in Thursday's must-win clash with the Knights.

Gold Coast High Performance Manager Klint Hoare says Moeaki Fotuaika is expected to be good to go after missing last weeks game, while Kevin Proctor will be monitored throughout the week.

"Unfortunately Kevin wasn’t able to come back into the game, with an AC joint sprain bringing his night to a close against Melbourne last Thursday.

"This week the captain will be given every chance to be selected for the Knights game and our medical staff alongside the high performance team will monitor strength and function throughout the lead in week.

"Moeaki Fotuaika continues to rehab run and other preparation for selection for the Knights match.

"He'll continue to be monitored for persistent knee effusion.

"I am confident Moe will be ready to go come Thursday night."

AJ Brimson has had surgery on his jaw injury and will now work through his rehab with a view of returning in the finals.

"AJ is back in at Titans HQ after having commenced his return to play program," Hoare said.

"He will be reviewed again by the surgeon this week after sustaining that jaw fracture in the match against the Rabbitohs in round 22.

"Although not ideal, the time away from playing will allow AJ to focus on increasing strength within his groin and adductors with the aim to be back for semi-finals dependent on the directive of the surgeon."
