Scott prince is in a form slump....Greg bird has been leading the team around since prince has got back from injury and seeing birds not there for the next 4 or 5 weeks he needs to wake up.....As for my backline i would have
1 william zillman
2 kevin gordon
3 clinton toopi
4 esi tonga
5 presto
6 matt rogers(genuine 5/8th and being bigger then presto wont be targeted as much)
Preston on the wing he would become the target men of the season
Don't be surprised if the backline looks something like this sometime during the match...
18.Shannon Walker
2.Kevin Gordon
6.Mat Rogers
4.Clinton Toopi
5.William Zillman
1.Preston Campbell
7.Scott Prince

Presto On the Wing would do my head in I think.
He need to be in the middle of the park so they dont throw him into the stands and you can only imagine the amount of bombs coming his way.
I'll be tipping the Dragons but cheering the Titans. Sorry.
That makes the game a win win for me.
I worry about the inclusion of Shannon Walker. Great attacking player but questionable in defence. He sometimes looses focus or doesn't commit to tackles 100%.
If we can't beat the Broncasses or Tigers at home, there is little hope of beating Dragons at WIN.
Still, where there's life there's hope, as they say.
Don't know if its just wishful thinking or not - but I have a really good feeling about this game???? :-O The titans know that their season is on the line coming into finals and they will surely drop out of the 8 if they lose - so a lot to play for. I see Princey taking charge since Bird is out and Rogers slotting comfortably back into the six and helping out. As long as our defence is tight - we can hold out the dragons and hopefully the refs will go our way for once too! Lets hope my good feeling is right though! come on titans!
I will be tipping Dragons but for slightly different reasons. The only 2 times I have tipped against the Titans since the start of 2007 was an away game at Melbourne and an away game at Manly and we won both of them. So me being superstitious and all are tipping against them....
oh.......and I have never won a footy tipping comp...DUH!

You never know.
The players will probably feel it would be a huge ask to win this game.
No fan expectations, so the pressure is off and they can relax and just play good footy.
Dragons on the other hand will feel they have no chance of loosing this one.
Could make for an interesting contest.
Titans need to kick the ball over the sideline or touch in goal area. Dragons strength is bringing ball back from kicks. Camp the mofos down there and defend like crazy.
This is the game plan that will work.
