The Titans are reeling after injuries to key men Kieran Foran and AJ Brimson during their 24-12 loss to the Cowboys in Townsville.
Foran left the field with a calf issue while Brimson sat out with a hamstring problem.
Brimson was in visible distress, instantly grabbing at his right hamstring.

He received medical attention on the field, suggesting a potential tear.
“They’re not good signs at all,” said Fox League’s Corey Parker.

It was later confirmed that both players would not return to the field with Jayden Campbell and Erin Clark slotting into the spine.
On the opposite side, Cowboys speedster Murray Taulagi was ruled out of the game with a potential medial ligament injury.
The Maroons flyer did not return after half time, appearing ginger in the sheds.
Veteran James Tamou’s try pinched the lead for North Queensland in the 45th minute and the visitors never trailed again.
