THE Gold Coast’s stunning start to the NRL season has been dealt a blow with halves Aidan Sezer and Albert Kelly to miss up to a month of action.
Kelly left the field in the first half of Sunday’s 22-6 win over the Wests Tigers with scans revealing he suffered a minor crack in his leg (fibula).
Sezer suffered an ankle injury but battled through the pain, only to be ruled out of this weekend’s City-Country match.
Kelly’s bone is expected to take two-four weeks to heal while Sezer is awaiting the swelling to subside so he can have scans, however he is also expected to miss a similar amount of football.
It means the Titans are on the hunt for a new halves pairing for Saturday week’s home game against the Rabbitohs.
The NRL has a bye round this weekend for representative fixtures, giving coach John Cartwright plenty of time to find replacements.
Meanwhile, Titans fullback David Mead was today called into the NSW Country team to replace Josh Dugan (ankle).
Mead played for Papua New Guinea at last year’s World Cup and this month pledged his allegiance to Queensland.

Lets say they're both out for the Rabbitohs clash...who will be our halves pairing?
We've got the likes of Henry, Beddow and Fogarty available in qcup but I have a feeling that Carty will opt for Harro and/or Bird to play there. I'm presuming Blair will be strongly considered for one of the spots and hopefully Tighe will be back
Thoughts and feelings?
