Locked in: Brimson firming to play against Warriors
Jim Lenihan has given the strongest indication AJ Brimson will overcome a minor rib complaint to line-up for the Titans in their Friday night clash against the Warriors at Cbus Super Stadium.
Coming from the field in the 16th minute last Sunday against the Cowboys, the 24-year-old returned in the second half to help the Titans to a stirring 22-13 win and is expected to back-up his courageous cameo after being named in the No. 1 jersey.
"He's still got a bit of drama with his rib area, but we'll see how he goes on Friday when he wakes up and assess it from there... we're expecting him to play," Lenihan said at Thursday's captain's run.
The 1-19 squad remains as per program with Joe Vuna, Kruise Leeming and Ken Maumalo all cut from the extended bench 24 hours out from kick-off - the trio expected to return to Hostplus Cup duties this weekend.
Kick-off is at 6pm on Friday at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast.
