James suffers minor knee injury

Titans captain Ryan James today suffered an injury to his right knee that will see him miss the next 2-3 weeks of training.

The Bilambil junior felt a pain in his knee and was immediately sent for a scan that revealed a minor medial ligament strain.

James will unfortunately now be unavailable for the upcoming All Stars match but is working towards playing in the club’s final trial against the Brisbane Broncos at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday, 2 March.

Coach Garth Brennan was relieved it wasn’t more serious.

“Ryan knows his body well and as soon as he felt the pain he came straight off the field,” he said.

“He’s extremely diligent across all areas of his game, so he’ll be doing everything he can during his recovery to get it back to 100 per cent as quick as he can.”

Good work big fella ... stay away from that match.

^^^ Agreed. Looks like we may be determined to give the comp a good shake. Eye on the prize....make a few sacrifices to dodge potential injuries. I wonder if we'll see a few of these little injuries around SOO time?

It’s incredibly important these blokes all play a trial. Now we get to see immediately how our new Conditioning/Rehab crew are in getting three vitally important cogs in James, Taylor and Brimson up and about to get a trial into them prior to Round 1.

Hopefully we'll see them all fit and firing against the broncos in trial 2.

Still a few players in there to be nervous about.

I'm excited to see the Titans well represented across the two teams.

I think we have too many in there and it could have been much worse if Taylor and James had been available.
