Nit picking ... I think the "outs" should include Rogers, Tagataese and Walker.

noo please no

Get him and Lote Tuqiri as well. The marketers seem to think Jamal's dreadlocks are worth 5000 bums in seats, why not take it to its logical extreme. Does Andrew Symonds want to try RL again, he's a Gold Coast boy.

Burliegh will need all the help they can get in 2012

Should Bodene become Beaudene just for consistency? How about Beau Bailey or should that be Boo?

Former AFL ruckman Peter 'Spida' Everitt joins NRL wooden-spooners the Gold Coast Titans

Phil Rothfield From: The Sunday Telegraph September 17, 2011 11:00PM

The former St Kilda, Hawthorn and Swans superstar, who now lives on the Gold Coast and works on a local radio station, will be a huge bonus for the Titans in their war against the AFL and the Suns.

The involvement of AFL stars in rugby league is a growing trend, with former North Melbourne legend Wayne Carey attending a Storm training session last week to work on different skills.

Titans coach John Cartwright has no doubts that Spida Everitt can help improve both catching and kicking skills with his side.

"He's a very enthusiastic fella and I'm looking forward to getting him involved," Cartwright said.

"We've had a chat about how he can help us and we're going to sit down and talk again next week."

The Titans are trying to replicate the Melbourne Storm, who have often called in AFL experts for specialised training.

"One of our poor areas this year was all the tries we conceded from high kicks," Cartwright said.

"I think Spida could certainly help our catchers out and also talk to a few of the guys about kicking skills and different techniques.

"He obviously knows what he's talking about in those areas and he's very keen to join us."

Everitt told The Sunday Telegraph that his deal was to spend two hours a week with the Titans players at two training sessions.

"My main job is to help with marking - or catching the high balls as you guys call it," Spida said.

"It's funny. I never knew anything about rugby league until I joined the Swans and Nick Davis was a mad Sharks fan and used to take me to Cronulla games.

"Some of the skills like catching and kicking are the same in both sports anyway.

"I'm really looking forward to working alongside John Cartwright and the players."

Spida works for 92.5 FM's breakfast show on the Gold Coast and also commentates on the Suns AFL matches for the station.

The Titans conceded the equal second most tries (10) from bombs this year, with only the Bulldogs worse with 14 because first-year fullback Ben Barba struggled at times through his lack of height.

Melbourne Storm's general manager of football, Frank Ponissi, revealed how heavily the minor premiers rely on AFL identities for assistance.

Former Western Bulldog Matt Mansfield is a permanent members of the club's coaching staff to work on catching and kicking drills.

"We even had Wayne Carey in for a session last week to help out the boys," Ponissi said.

"We also share our AAMI Park facility with the Melbourne Demons, and their assistant coaches have helped us out as well.

"The NRL is so competitive these days that anything you can do to get an edge is worthwhile."
