Titans medicos have confirmed injured duo Jayden Campbell and David Fifita won't be available for this Saturday's season opener against the Dragons, but there is positive news on the horizon for the Gold Coast stars.
The pair have been progressing well through their rehab after their respective injuries to Fifita's shoulder (partial pec tear) and Campbell's knee (dislocated patella) and have successfully begun their integration to team training in the past fortnight.
Whilst missing the season opener, they are currently expected to be back and available for selection between Rounds 4-6 depending on their recovery advancement.
Isaac Liu has also been given the green light to celebrate his 250th NRL game in Round 1 after a minor knee injury sidelined the experienced forward from the Titans' major trial against the Eels.
