Locked in: Francis confirmed to return after shoulder injury
Tony Francis will make his return from a shoulder injury in this Sunday's Hostplus Cup clash against the Clydesdales in Dalby.
Initially named as 18th man for the Titans' NRL clash against the Dolphins after his last appearance in Round 12, coach Des Hasler has opted for the 21-year-old to come back via the Tweed Seagulls which sees him omitted from the final 19-man squad for the Sunshine Showdown at Suncorp Stadium.
