Locked in: Titans to welcome back duo for 'ready' Raiders clash
The Raiders may be down on troops but Josh Hannay isn't taking Ricky Stuart's men lightly as the Titans welcome back AJ Brimson and Chris Randall for Saturday's clash at Cbus Super Stadium.
Brimson returns after the birth of his second child prior to the bye, whilst Randall has taken advantage of the extra week to rest up a minor calf complaint - named at lock after missing the trip to New Zealand.
Canberra have faced injury concerns of their own with Ethan Strange the latest member of the Green Machine to be ruled out, but that hasn't put any doubt in Hannay's mind of what the Raiders can conjure up, having won the last six games against Gold Coast.
"They'll have a backs to the wall mentality... not just because of their injuries but where they're currently sitting after coming off a minor premiership year last year," he said.
"Having had a little bit to do with Ricky over the years, I think he'll absolutely have them ready for tomorrow."
The Titans will take an unchanged 19-man squad to game day with Zane Harrison remaining as part of the reserves.
Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast.
