TITANS giant Jamal Idris is set to be fit for finals footy after revealing his specialist "freaked out" at how quickly his broken leg had healed.
Idris's remarkable ability to recover has him on track for a shock return if the Titans are able to reach the playoffs.
The barnstorming centre will have screws removed from his ankle next week, little more than a month after surgery to repair horrific injuries suffered in a game against the Knights.
The diagnosis shocked Brisbane surgeon Ben Foster when Idris visited last Friday, and now his speedy healing ability has him on track for a return.
"I saw the surgeon (last Friday) and they always tend to freak out because I heal quick, I don't know what it is," Idris said.
"But I'll be getting the screws out next week and I'll be walking straight away."
Idris broke his fibula and dislocated his ankle early in the Titans' horror loss to the Knights on a muddy Newcastle pitch on June 30.
While the ankle was successfully put into place in a Newcastle hospital after the match, Idris had surgery in Brisbane the following day, in which he had a plate placed in his broken leg and screws in and around his ankle to stabilise the joint.
"I've got a fair bit of metal in there," he said.
But he will still be racing time to play again this season.
The Titans' complete their fixture season against the Storm in Melbourne on September 7, with Idris hoping he can line up in the opening week of finals if Gold Coast make the playoffs.
"(The screws will be taken out) five-and-a-half, six weeks (after surgery) and then they're saying that it's four or five weeks (after that)," he said.
And while his comeback is dependant on the Titans making the finals, Idris is pleading with his teammates to continue the winning roll they started against the Wests Tigers on Sunday to push their way back into the eight.
"No pressure but get into the finals please," he said.
