Incumbent Queensland fullback Brimson injured

BRISBANE: Queensland may have been dealt a major blow after AJ Brimson aggravated a left knee injury in the Gold Coast’s 10-38 NRL loss to Cronulla.
Brimson, who is believed to have initially suffered the injury against Brisbane a month ago, looked well below his best in Coffs Harbour on last afternoon before limping off in the 55th minute.
The incumbent Queensland fullback, who was in contention to be picked when the Maroons team for Game one is named today, could now be doubt for the series opener.
Another possible Queensland candidate, Gold Coast front-rower Moeaki Fotuaika, could also be ruled out after he was involved in a first-half lifting tackle that was put on report.
Their potential Queensland absences compounded a sorry afternoon for the inconsistent Titans, who have now conceded at least 36 points four times in their opening 12 games of the season.
A week after caretaker Josh Hannay guided his team to their first victory since the controversial axing of John Morris, Cronulla have now gone back-to-back and are within a win of the top eight. The Titans defence showed little resistance against the Sharks attack, with winger Ronaldo Mulitalo bagging a double on the left and centre Jesse Ramien having a field day down the right.
Ramien was arguably Cronulla’s best, busting a team-high nine tackles, offloading four times and setting up two tries. – 7 News
