I really dont want to see Zillman at 5/8, not this Sunday, not ever.

Gee, you go away for a day and things happen.
On Taylor; stiff bickies, nobody is above the law, no matter what he did if the management made a decision then that'll do me.
On Michaels; I am his greatest critic but as mentioned by many he has performed admirably this season, however, I think that's because we put so much pressure on him ... with that in mind: WTF Michaels, no, no, no, no no.
On Kelly; surely nobody could be so stupid to play him injured ... Sandow would have a field day.
On Sezer; he should never have kicking practice again ... ever.
On Zillman; if he plays 5/8 Hayne will have a field day running straight past him.
On Don; good luck matey, you've earned your chance.
On Henry; he must be doing something right (can kick goals for example) to keep Rankin out.
On O'Dwyer; this is the selection that really cheeses me off. He was crap last start and is keeping someone younger out.
On Minichiello; whatever.
On a reshuffle; how could we have expected anything more?

Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
With what's been revealed since this news first broke. It is a commendable decision by the Club.
Indeed, Micheals last couple of outings have been impressive. Though the thought of him choking again is still imbedded in my failing memory, it seems it's only a matter of time. I'd love for him to prove me wrong though.
All things considered, he probably does deserve to be named in the team this week.
Maybe the Club is working on the theory that last weeks injury wasn't enough, and they'll be shooting for a season ending injury this week? It appears nothing has learnt from our last outing.. EDIT: That may not be entirely correct after seeing the team for this week. At least they're resting Matty Srama.

Half a chance is all Henry needs

iSelect Titans half Beau Henry says he will play his own game, rather than try to fill the shoes of injured Titans Aidan Sezer, when he makes a return to the NRL against the Eels on Sunday.
Henry has had a long wait to return to first grade and has been performing solidly in the Queensland Cup for the Tweed Seagulls, and thanked his Tweed teammates for their support during his time away from the NRL.
The 23-year-old says he is looking forward to forming a combination with Albert Kelly and will do whatever is required to ensure a Titans victory come Sunday.

In the spirit of getting behind Beau, give this a watch

Anthony Don earns Titans breakthrough
Travis Meyn | 02:11pm April 10, 2013
FORMER Grafton flyer Anthony Don will make his NRL debut while forgotten five-eighth Beau Henry will come out of the wilderness for the depleted Titans against Parramatta on Sunday.
Don, 25, has earned a spot on the bench while former under-20s player of the year Henry will wear No.6 with Aidan Sezer still suffering from a hamstring strain.
The Titans have been smashed by injuries and suspensions with star forward Dave Taylor stood down for two weeks for disciplinary reasons.
Hooker Matt Srama (shoulder), centre Brad Takairangi (hamstring) and back-rower Ben Ridge (pectoral) are also out while halfback Albert Kelly (knee) is under a cloud.
Foundation forwards Luke O'Dwyer and Mark Minichiello have earned recalls from Tweed Heads but it is the weakest team the Titans have fielded this year.
Titans coach John Cartwright said Don was a prime example of a player who had never given up hope of cracking the big time. "He's pretty much a local guy who cut his teeth in Grafton and came through the back door," he said.
"He hasn't been part of a school system or junior rep program.
"He got a chance with Burleigh, did an off-season with us, trained very hard and impressed everyone.
"His form at Burleigh has said he deserved a chance. It's always exciting and it's a great feel-good story.
"Sometimes we pay too much attention to schoolboy and junior systems when there's guys like Anthony out there."
Henry has beaten Jordan Rankin to Sezer's jersey but Rankin has been placed on standby for Kelly.
It will be Henry's first NRL game since round 23 of 2011 and Cartwright said the 23-year-old's kicking game earned him the nod.
"He was very good for Seagulls last week," he said.
"His kicking game is generally very good and I feel that was one area last week where it didn't help us win the game.
"Beau comes in and hopefully that will ease the pressure on Albert.
"Jordan Rankin will train in that spot for the rest of the week and we'll make a decision on Albert on Saturday."
Don has been named on the bench but it's possible Cartwright will shift William Zillman to the halves, David Mead to fullback and put Don on the wing.

Very excited to see Don called in and the circumstances where he clawed his way to the NRL.
