Of the next 12 Titans games, 9 are in SE QLD

[kwigibo]

Broncos, Doggies at Suncorp, and 2 NZW games, looks like we're getting the Sydney club advantage for once.

Need to take advantage of it, we will have the added advantage of hardly nobody playing SOO and Tests. so now is the time to shine, and win all of those 9, maybe 1-2 away as well

That will cement us back in the top 4, and give us a easy ride home toward the finals.

If we win 10 of 12, we will be on 24 points, with 2 byes, gets us to 28, this could secure a finals top 4 maybe even top 2. Massive turn around, but can be done.

I am probably wrong...again...but didn't we do a straight swap with the Warriors...i.e. Reversed the home and away?

Still a great advantage regardless.

I decided to check the draw....If you DON'T include the 2 byes and you count the next 12 games we have 8 in SE Qld

Plus points for the byes...you beauty!

Awesome, if we win against the Eels, things could start to get exciting.

Return game is in Auckland

[karnage]

Won't matter where we play the Warriors - they're our bunnies!! Look for N. Friend to be Man of the Match in both games.

[DIEHARD]

The 2nd Wariors game is definitely in Auckland, we swapped it and NRL.com is unfortunately wrong.

But Kwigi is right, we can enjoy the advantage that Sydney clubs enjoy. IMO a massive and underrated advantage.

We gotta win at Lang Park though!

Next six weeks crucial for Titans

THE next six weeks will be critical for the Titans if they are to seriously challenge for a place in the grand final.

Following their clash with the Eels in Parramatta on Sunday, the Gold Coast will not have to leave southeast Queensland for a month an a half as they bunker down and fight to break back into the top eight.

Next weekend the Titans host the Roosters (Round 8), followed by the Warriors (Round 9), Manly (Round 10).

The Coast have the bye in Round 11 and take on the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium (Round 12) before returning to Skilled Park against the Panthers (Round 13).

"At this point in time we are 2-4 and our goal is obviously to string a few together," Titans forward Luke O'Dwyer said.

"With the competition so close we could be back in the mix up the top of the ladder in no time."

All the signs point to the Titans having a good opportunity to capitalise on last week's success against the Tigers with another win over the Eels.

Parramatta has its worst winning percentage against Gold Coast managing to win just one of five matches against them, that sole victory coming in week two of the 2009 final series.

The two sides have only met at Parramatta Stadium once before (Round 5, 2008) with the Titans winning 28-20.

The Eels have won just one of their past five and four of their past 12 matches at Parramatta Stadium.

But O'Dwyer said the Titans would not be taking the Eels lightly, especially since star fullback Jarryd Hayne was suspended for two weeks for head butting Bulldog Corey Payne.

"They are going to lift, there is no doubt about that and we are going to have to lift to make sure we take it to them," he said.

Luke Burt drops back to fullback in place of Hayne, with former Titan Jordan Atkins playing his second game for the Eels, taking Burt's place on the wing.

"I see Jordo has been named in the team," O'Dwyer said.

"Obviously when you play your old team you want to lift and try and prove a point.

"He will be out there to give it his best shot, no doubt."

John Cartwright has named the same 18-man squad for the second week straight.
