Kevin Proctor set to make return for Titans following drug ban<br />
GOLD COAST forward Kevin<br />
Proctor is poised to make his<br />
NRL return from a four-match<br />
illicit drug ban with the Titans<br />
facing a tricky task to make the<br />
finals.<br />
Proctor copped the suspension<br />
from the Titans – as well as a<br />
$20,000 fine – after being caught<br />
using what was believed to be<br />
cocaine in Canberra on May 5<br />
following the Anzac test.<br />
Chris McQueen, who often<br />
partnered with Proctor in the<br />
second row for the Titans, told<br />
AAP Proctor’s chomping at the<br />
bit after spending seven weeks<br />
on the sideline. <strong>The</strong> Titans take<br />
on the South Sydney Rabbitohs<br />
in Sydney tomorrow night.<br />
“He’d be a massive inclusion<br />
for us, the suspension’s been<br />
burning away at him. I’m expecting<br />
a big game for him this<br />
week,” McQueen said.<br />
“He knows how to win games<br />
and he’s not scared of the hard<br />
work, he’s more than willing to<br />
put his body on the line for the<br />
team.<br />

“He brings a lot of leadership,<br />
we have still got a lot of young<br />
guys who haven’t got a lot of<br />
experience and to have a guy like<br />
him is invaluable.”<br />
Proctor’s last match for the<br />
Titans was their 38- 8 win over<br />
Newcastle in round nine and,<br />
since he’s been banned, Gold<br />
Coast have lost three of their last<br />
four fixtures.<br />
A veteran of 186 games,<br />
Proctor averages 25 tackles per<br />
game this season and his stability<br />
in defence is much needed with<br />
the Titans conceding the third<br />
highest amount of tries in the<br />
NRL.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 13th-placed Titans are out<br />
of form losing their last three<br />
games on the trot, but McQueen<br />
is demanding a fight for the rest<br />
of the season.<br />
“Mathematically speaking, I<br />
think we’ve only got two or three<br />
losses in us for the rest of the<br />
year,” McQueen said.<br />
“We’ve put ourselves into a<br />
difficult position but we’re going<br />
to fight until the end of the year.”<br />
