    Buy Gold Coast Bulletin to score latest Budget Buster - discount tickets to Titans

    BELIEVE it or not, Titans star David Mead had never even been to a footy game at a proper stadium until he was in his 20s, and he doesn’t want other kids to miss out on the thrill either.

    “There’s nothing like going to a big game, and for families to get that experience is great,” he said.

    From today, Gold Coast families who may not usually get the chance to go along to a Titans game, or might not even consider it, can score tickets to next week’s showdown against the Canberra Raiders for as little as $5.

    Readers can tear the masthead from the front page of their copy of the Bulletin from today and claim one cut-price ticket for each copy to the next home game at Cbus Super Stadium on Sunday, July 13.

    Present your masthead to purchase a juniors ticket for just $5, and an adult ticket for only $10.

    General admission tickets for two adults and two children would usually cost $70.

    “It’s great for families – it gives everyone a chance to come along,” Mead said.

    With Newcastle and Cronulla both winning their last two games this match is starting to take on some significance. If we lose to Souths and then get done in this one by the Raiders - with them coming off a bye and us coming off a Monday night game - we will actually be in the mix for the wooden spoon.

    iSelect Gold Coast Titans coach John Cartwright has named an extended bench in a provisional side to play Canberra Raiders at Cbus Super Stadium this Sunday (2pm) in view of having three forwards in tomorrow night’s State of Origin encounter and little time to access last night’s gutsy win against South Sydney.

    Winger David Mead also injured a hamstring late in the match and will be monitored in coming days.

    The team v Canberra Raiders, round 18:

    1 - William Zillman

    2 – Kevin Gordon

    3 – James Roberts

    4 – Brad Takairangi

    5 – David Mead

    6 – Maurice Blair

    7 – Daniel Mortimer

    8 - Luke Bailey

    9 – Beau Falloon

    10 – Luke Douglas

    11 – Greg Bird

    12 – Mark Minichiello

    13 – Paul Carter



    INTERCHANGE

    14 – Matthew White

    15 – David Taylor

    16 – Nate Myles

    17 – Albert Kelly

    18 – Cody Nelson

    19 – Mark Ioane

    20 – Matt Srama

    21 – Tom Kingston

    - - - Updated - - -

    Wow what a surprise. Blair named at half and Zillman at FB. Cartwright has no bloody idea

    Canberra Raiders rising star Jeremy Hawkins has been named to make his NRL debut this weekend, when the Raiders take on the Gold Coast Titans on Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast.

    Hawkins has been in tremendous form for the Raiders feeder club Mounties this season, including scoring four tries in their win against the Bulldogs last weekend.

    Hawkins has been named on the wing for the Raiders, with Brenko Lee shifting to the centres to cover for Jack Wighton who is out with a broken thumb.

    Sami Sauiluma returns to the Raiders line-up this weekend after recovering from an eye injury, replacing Matt Allwood on the wing.

    Kurt Baptiste retains his place on the bench for the Raiders after making his Raiders debut against the Tigers, with Joel Edwards added to a five man bench for the trip north.

    We name 21 players & Mead won't play so we have to bring Don back into the side which is a huge plus for me , he's the best winger we have on the books but who am I kidding we know Fartwright will just shuffle the back line & probably put Roberts in the 5 , Blair to centre & Kelly to start , personally I'd have Tighe over Taka ATM

    Mead, Kelly in doubt for Titans
    By Tony Webeck, Chief Queensland Correspondent
    NRL.com
    5:00pm Tue 08th July, 2014


    The Gold Coast Titans' bid for a second straight victory have been dealt a blow with both David Mead and Albert Kelly in doubt to face the Raiders at Cbus Super Stadium on Sunday.

    Following the short turnaround from their stunning 14-10 defeat of South Sydney in Sydney on Monday night, Mead and Kelly have both been named in a provisional Gold Coast team that may have a very different look about it by Sunday.

    Origin trio Greg Bird, Nate Myles and Dave Taylor have each been named in the 21-man squad with Bird named in the starting side and Myles and Taylor on an extended eight-man bench.

    Mead and Kelly sparked the Titans' comeback with a clever try six minutes before half-time after the Rabbitohs led 8-0 after 29 minutes and then Mead came up with a crucial try-saving tackle on South Sydney winger Nathan Merritt eight minutes from time that preserved his side's four-point advantage.

    It may have come at a cost though with Titans coach John Cartwright confirming Mead suffered a hamstring injury late in the game that will likely prevent him from taking the field on Sunday.

    "Davey Mead could have done a hamstring. He's done it to some level, we're not too sure yet, but he'd be in a fair bit of doubt this week," Cartwright said upon the team's return to the Gold Coast.

    "I think he did it pretty late in the game. He got tackled in tight; I think it was around when he got that knock to the head."

    Kelly will also be closely monitored after his left calf pulled up sore, his place in the 17 dependent on whether he can get through the training session on Thursday.

    Coming off the bench against the Rabbitohs, Kelly showed plenty of energy both in attack and defence and Cartwright conceded that there is the temptation to continue to use the mercurial talent as an impact player.

    "He tightened up again on his calf. It's a funny one because we just can't seem to get to the root of the problem but it's playable," Cartwright said, his sense of relief evident after avoiding a club record seventh straight defeat. "We've just got to treat it, manage it get him as good as we can for the weekend.

    "When he comes in fresh against a tiring side he's just that little bit more dangerous. Again, we'll just have to see how he feels mainly and how the boys come through Origin. We won't be able to really come up with a side until Saturday.

    "He's going to have to train most of the week. We won't really be on the field from now until probably Thursday so hopefully get a session out on Thursday and then a light one on Saturday."

    Now immersed in the logjam of teams from fourth to 12th separated by just two competition points, the Titans desperately need to arrest their awful home record of two wins from eight games this season and dispose of the Raiders on Sunday.

    In the corresponding fixture following Origin III last season, Cartwright rested both Myles and Bird from the team that went down to the Sea Eagles 38-20 and although Mark Ioane, Cody Nelson and Tom Kingston were strong in their absence against the Rabbitohs, their precarious for-and-against means that every win is critical to their finals aspirations.

    "We'll see what we've got here with us at the moment and see how ferocious the third Origin is," Cartwright said of the chances of Bird, Myles and Dave Taylor being rested. "If they play or they don't they'll get a big chunk of next week off."
