Winning won't be good enough.With our for/against we will need a good 3 try margin if we are to have any hope getting to the finals.

That's a great post Chaos.
This is it. Might as well head out on Mad Monday if we let another 2 points through to the keeper here.
We couldn't get past the Knights with a near to full strength team earlier in the year so it makes the ask look all the more hard. While my heart will always say 'Titans' my head says Knights and I have tipped accordingly in my tipping comp.
I have never hoped more fervently that I am wrong.
while i agree with u karnage,,im leading my work tipping and for once in the last few months am tipping titans to win,mainly cos of the player of the year nathan friend,so i like you, hope we win cos im gonna be screaming in stand 6 and im always miserable when we lose .
well i do have a feeling that three straight losses will get through the titans minds, and having minichelo back is a bonus. so if the titans come out with the right attitude and their goals set for the remainder weeks of the game, we can win this easily.
im a close second in my tipping and i like most of the underdogs in this weeks round,call me crazy but im tipping Manly,Tigers,NZ,Penrith and Titans.here goes nothing
Gung-ho Conn to turn up uninvited
Luke Turgeon
August 8th, 2008
TOUGH Titans backrower Daniel Conn has not given up hope of running out against Newcastle on Monday despite being told by coach John Cartwright to rest after being treated in hospital with a virus at the weekend.
Conn was struck down with the illness the morning of the Gold Coast's clash with the Storm last Friday, before deteriorating to the point where he spent most on Sunday in hospital on a drip.
The 22-year-old, who has also been battling separate shoulder, hand and ankle injuries over the past several weeks, was handed an enforced layoff by Cartwright in a bid to get back some strength. But Conn plans to turn up at Titans training today uninvited to push for a starting spot.
"I haven't given up yet," said Conn, who has played 12 games for the Titans this season. "Carty said to stay away for a couple of days. But I will sneak back in.
"But I might have to put a balaclava on to run around, and see if he notices me."
Conn's attitude sums up the feeling in the Titans camp ahead of the Skilled Park showdown. Needing to win at least three more games to stand a chance of making the finals, the Titans know a victory over the Knights is crucial.
"I have been eating the house down trying to get some weight back on and doing my own training," said Conn. "I just really want to keep getting in that starting side. I have a real point to prove."
* TITANS tallman Gavin Cooper yesterday signed a two-year deal with the Penrith Panthers.
Cooper had been linked to the Cowboys but settled on Penrith.
Titans managing director Michael Searle said it was unlikely the club would search for new centre, with the majority of the club's 2009 funds already locked in.

hopefully he does play casue we need his defense
Conn really has exploded in popularity and he is now one of those players that you both relate as a class Titans player but also a player that exhibits those personality aspects we believe the Titans is about.
And what better way to honour him than 89's awesome banner.
