Manly star Tom Trbojevic has declared himself fully fit and ready for Round 1 in Las Vegas.
The 27-year-old played just 11 games last season after a torn pectoral in Origin II ended another NRL campaign prematurely.
“A pec is about a three month injury so I’ve had plenty of time for that to recover and I’m in a really good mental space now and training really hard,” Trbojevic said.
“Coming into pre-season I was basically ready to go so it’s been a really good five or six weeks. I’m fully fit. Contact and everything has all been cleared so I’m good to go.”
Titans forward David Fifita will undergo surgery after suffering a pectoral muscle injury. The club confirmed in a statement that the 23-year-old back-rower sustained a partial tear during pre-season training.
The Maroons representative will aim to return for the start of the 2024 season after completing his rehab over the coming weeks.

Bulldogs recruit Connor Tracey suffered a leg injury in his final training session with the Sharks and will be unable to train with his new teammates for six weeks.
Canterbury GM of football Phil Gould revealed on social media that Tracey would not start running until mid-January after suffering the injury before his switch of clubs was finalised.
Young gun Karl Oloapu is yet to decide whether to undergo surgery for a neck injury that has placed his immediate playing future in doubt.
