Interim iSelect Titans coach Neil Henry has had little chance to assess the fitness of his squad after last night’s loss to Sydney Roosters in John Cartwright’s farewell match so has chosen the same 17 in the preliminary side to take on Manly at Cbus Super Stadium on Sunday.
David Taylor, who carried a neck injury into last night’s clash, has been named on the bench and his fitness will be checked late in the week. Aidan Sezer came through his first match for 12 weeks well and will back up on Sunday.
The fitness of backs David Mead, Albert Kelly and Maurice Blair, who missed the Roosters clash with injury, will all be assessed later in the week to see if they can be considered.
