NRL 2023: Titans, Locked in: Titans make call on Foran for Dragons derby

Kieran Foran has overcome a severe cork to his knee and will start in Sunday's Round 2 clash against the Dragons in Sydney.

Whilst initially thought to be an injury that would sideline the experienced playmaker for a number of weeks, scans on Monday evening revealed the full extent which has allowed the 263-gamer to rehab appropriately and be ready for this weekend.

Foran gave fans plenty of confidence throughout the week, suggesting he was 'firming by the minute' to play on an interview with Triple M's Rush Hour on Thursday and the 32-year-old trained without incident at both Friday's main opposed session and Saturday's captain's run which puts him in good stead for the Sunday night showdown at Kogarah.

The remainder of the squad is unchanged at this stage with Klese Haas, Keano Kini and Toby Sexton all cut from the extended bench - the trio remaining in Queensland to play in the season-opening round of the Hostplus Cup for their respective clubs.

Chris Randall and Treymain Spry remain in the 19 and have made the trip to Sydney with the rest of the team.

Kick-off is at 5.15pm AEST on Sunday, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
