Titans NRLW team and 2022 Draw

[Hail Sezer]

Oh my goodness surely hale knows the rules just gave all the mometum back to the broncos and bang they score what a dumb play if the ball doesn’t go 10 don’t run up and grab it dumb play and probably cost the titans the game

- - - Updated - - -

Kimi needs to go surely she can’t keep her spot after todays performance

With the limited NRLW squad numbers I honestly don't think they have another half on the roster, unfortunately

[ALX25]

Surely a debut for Chantay Kiria-Ratu either at fullback or in the halfs is on the cards.

All eyes on our NRLW team this weekend.

[ozynorts]

Team looks so much better with Pelite at the back.

[ozynorts]

Faifua really adds something when she comes on at dummy half. Good first half, Pelite over 100 already.

[Boonarga]

Much better. Completion rate greatly improved.

[Hail Sezer]

Pelite at fullback def the right move

Hopefully we can hang on for the dub

[Boonarga]

Maybe the right move in attack, but she should have stopped both of those tries.

[Hail Sezer]

Maybe the right move in attack, but she should have stopped both of those tries.

Agreed

Our halves inability to construct anything pretty much makes our edge weapons redundant in attack. It’s so bad. Could have prime GI at centre and he wouldn’t see any good ball

[Boonarga]

Karina Brown is outstanding.

[Boonarga]

I’d be putting Pelite into the 6. Even though Kimi has shocked us with 2 runs today.

[ozynorts]

Well deserved win, well done team.

[Boonarga]

Nicholls went really well in the centres. Great defence.

Titans v Roosters: Pelite stays at fullback; Taylor to make debut
https://www.nrl.com/

Gold Coast Titans will travel to the Central Coast as part of an NRLW triple-header on Sunday knowing a victory over the Roosters could book a finals berth next week.

The Titans were the most disappointing side for the opening three weeks of the NRLW season but found some form last week to hold on and beat the Eels in Melbourne.

Brisbane's one-point loss to the Dragons means the Titans can still jag fourth spot if they're able to beat the Roosters, or even still, can get into the finals when points differential comes into play at the end of the round.

The Titans will have some idea where they stand following the Broncos' clash against the Eels first-up with the winner of that match likely to be the only team standing in their way.

Both the Titans and Roosters have met on just one occasion with the Titans beating the Tricolours 26-16 in March.

However, the Roosters have been the form team of the NRLW since and will have two former Titans in their line-up after Destiny Brill and Shaniah Power made the switch in the off-season.

The Rundown

Team news

Titans: No late changes made in the 24-hour update. Karyn Murphy will stick with the same squad who got the job done against the Eels last week with Evania Pelite remaining at fullback and Apii Nicholls staying in the centres.

Roosters: A raft of changes for the competition leaders with the minor premiership all but secured. Raecene McGregor is a late withdrawal with Jocelyn Kelleher set to start alongside Zahara Temara in the halves. Sam Economos is the new face on the bench. Teenage young gun Jada Taylor will make her NRLW debut with regular No.1 Sam Bremner rested for the clash. Taylor will be joined by another debutante, Central Coast Roosters teammate Shannon Rose, in the backline with Jasmin Strange dropping to the reserves. North Sydney product Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa will also play her first NRLW match.

Key match-up

Evania Pelite v Jada Taylor: The Titans fullback racked up a record-breaking 300 metres last week in her return to the No.1 jersey with her switch noticeably helping the Titans to their first win of the season. Pelite is the Titans' biggest strike weapon while Taylor, who lit up the under 19s Origin arena in June, will play her first NRLW match. Taylor will feel the pressure to replace Sam Bremner at the back but has the skillset to thrive against the Titans.

Stat attack
The Titans have recorded double the amount of dummy half runs than the Roosters this season with 72, perhaps highlighting their one-out running or ability to take a carry from hooker particularly from their own end. Karina Brown (19) and Evania Pelite (13) are in the top three while former Titan Destiny Brill (12) is the best for the Roosters.
