rankin can't even cut in qld cup at 5/8, dowling has no first grade experience in the halves which leaves me with henry whos playing good footy at the moment, scored 2 tries and got MOM a week or 2 ago.
just casue he has no first grade exp dont mean he shouldnt be given a go... how else are u going to blood someone...
You don't blood people when your team is in dire need of a win. You blood them in the early rounds, origin period or closing rounds but only if your a certainty for a top 8 finish. i agree we should give him a go but not atm, we can't afford to blood Dowling,we need a specialist halves player to fill sezer's void.
Get your tickets here! A big crowd is so important for us and Rugby League.
And we dont want to be outnumbered by Super League Brisbane fans!

O'Dwyer is a find for us at centre.
1. William Zillman
2. Kevin Gordon
3. Luke O'Dwyer
4. Jamal Idris
5. David Mead
6. Beau Henry
7. Scott Prince
8. Luke Bailey
9. Matt Srama
10. Luke Douglas
11. Ben Ridge
12. Mark Minichiello
13. Nate Myles
14. Beau Falloon
15. Matt White
16. Ryan James
17. Michael Henderson
Prince and Sezer in the halves.
Keep the changes minimal & simple:
Existing combination: Peyroux back into center, Mead back on the wing, O'Dwyer back to the bench, Micheals out(as good as he was).
Stronger Bench: Falloon & Henderson out, James & Lawrence in.
Injury forced: Sezer out, Rankin in.
1. William Zillman
2. Kevin Gordon
3. Jamal Idris
4. Dominique Peyroux
5. David Mead
6. Jordan Rankin
7. Scott Prince
8. Luke Bailey
9. Matt Srama
10. Luke Douglas
11. Ben Ridge
12. Mark Minichiello
13. Nate Myles
14. Matt White
15. Ryan James
16. Luke O'Dwyer
17. Brenton Lawrence
18. Beau Falloon
Peyroux and Mead combined well in round 8 against the donkeys, making plenty of good runs off a tackle breaks & offloads, and scoring our only try. Alex Glenn is good for a few missed tackles so they should be able to profit from that. Wouldn't mind seeing them switch positions in attack a few times either. But Alex will also be making alot of strong runs down that edge, so we also need guys there who will tackle all night.
We need more from our bench. In a game where we had 57% possession, Henderson & Falloon didn't contribute enough.
Not that Falloon was bad, it was a good game from him - What I mean is; him taking minutes off Srama and taking up a bench spot & subs was not worth it.
James & Lawrence offer so much more in attack and defense. In 30 minutes against the Warriors, James made 41 tackles and missed none. Lawrence bends and breaks the defensive line every game and makes more meters & breaks in less minutes than any other of our bench forwards.
If they manage to keep the error rate down, and play like they did for the first 70mins against Canberra, they can win. But if they stop playing after 70mins, I doubt they'll have the margin to keep the match from the Donkeys.

I reckon he's their best attacking weapon close to the line. When he makes a run to the line - if he doesn't muscle over and score himself, he has at least drawn in 3-4 defenders in the process and weakened our defensive line for the next play. Plus as a strong second rower playing center, he'll be making meters down that edge anyway, and compounding that - Prince will probably be standing there too. Whoever plays #4 & #11 for us will be making alot of tackles! I back Ridge & Peyroux to cover that.

Sezer cleared of fractured hand
Adam Gardini | Monday 16 July 2012 3:33 PM
Jetstar Gold Coast Titans five-eighth Aidan Sezer has today received a boost after X-rays cleared him of a fractured hand.
Titans medical staff today diagnosed Sezer with damaged tendons in his left hand in the wake of Sunday’s 38-26 win over the Raiders in Canberra.
The 21-year-old five-eighth could still line-up in Friday night’s local derby against the Broncos at Skilled Park, with his injury to be monitored throughout the week.

If winning isn't everything, then why do they keep score?
(1) Sezer in and Mead back = great
(2) O'Dwyer on Hodges > Michaels on Hodges
(3) Idris on Glenn = better than Peyroux in the team
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Idris will be marking Hodges on our left side.
Depending on how Carty lines up our right side, it will be O'Dwyer or Peyroux marking Glenn.
Also, Copely is out with a broken leg. So it'll likely be:
Kev\Idris vs Rookie\Hodges
Mead\Peyroux vs Beale\Glenn or Mead\O'Dwyer vs Beale\Glenn
Unless Carty keeps Ranga in the mix, which is possible......
