LEAGUE tough man Mark Geyer said yesterday the new Gold Coast Titans NRL franchise should be realistic about their chances in the first year of competition.
Geyer, a former Penrith, NSW and Australian player is coming to Coolangatta tomorrow to speak at a Legends of Sport afternoon at the Coolangatta Hotel at 3pm.
The league hard man said the Titans had made some smart player purchases but they were going into a tough competition.
"Realistically, over 26 rounds, if I was in their boots I would aim at winning half my home games," Geyer said.
"They have some really good talent in Luke Bailey and Scott Prince, and I'm very impressed they picked up Anthony Laffranchi," he said.
"Probably their biggest buy was Billy Johnson, the conditioner. He is much sought-after, and how they enticed him away from the Cowboys I'll never know. Maybe it's because he was captain of the original Gold Coast team the Giants way back in 1988, I'm not sure, but he will have them fit," Geyer said.
