His NRL teammates may be wrapping up their dismal campaign on Saturday, but Gold Coast half Ash Taylor is gearing up for finals.

The million-dollar playmaker will line-up for the Tweed Heads Seagulls in the first week of the Queensland Cup finals after recovering from an ankle injury.

Since taking a brief break from the game in June for personal reasons, Taylor has played just once for the Titans – a 58-6 mauling at the SCG by Sydney Roosters in round 20.

In that time the 24-year-old has however made five appearances for the Titans’ feeder club Tweed and looms as a key figure in Sunday’s final against Redcliffe at Piggabeen Sports Complex.

Titans caretaker coach Craig Hodges confirmed Taylor would be “100 per cent fit” to return from the injury which sidelined him from Tweed’s 12-10 win over Northern Pride last weekend.

By the time Taylor takes to the field, the Titans’ miserable NRL season will be over with a home game against fellow strugglers St George Illawarra a last chance to claim a fifth win for 2019.

Saturday’s match will be a chance for Titans youngster Tanah Boyd to press his claims to become the club’s long term No.7.

The 19-year-old made his NRL debut off the bench in last weekend’s 38-4 loss to Newcastle and Hodges confirmed he’ll swap with Ryley Jacks to start at halfback against the Dragons.

“Tanah will play some half this week,” Hodges said.

“He played dummy-half last week, which I thought was a good introduction for him. He played dummy-half for Queensland under-20s which up until last week would’ve been the biggest game that he’s played in his life.”
