The Titans will be without two key forwards for their Sunday night showdown against the Eels with both Jaimin Jolliffe and Joe Stimson ruled out due to injury.
Jolliffe sustained a fractured hand in the Gold Coast's Round 19 clash, playing on through the pain in a herculean effort to make 130 metres over 13 runs, as well as an inspirational 51 tackles over 59 minutes.
The ever-reliable prop will have surgery on Wednesday and is expected to miss the next four weeks as he recovers.

Stimson suffered a Category 1 concussion in the contest and is now subjected to a mandatory 11-day stand down after failing his head injury assessment in the 45th minute. He is expected to return in Round 21 against the Roosters.
Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui passed his on-field assessment after leaving the field to be tested in the 29th minute, but will be subjected to the NRL's return to play policy before he is cleared to take part in this weekend's fixture.
