Call it turd polishing all you want but god it's feels unreal to have some Finals Footy.

Don in for Sami please
If AJ is fit suuuurely we can’t move Campbell out of 1. Either play him at 6 or 14 i reckon.
Any chance of this being played at CBUS, or even Suncorp?
Games have been moved north. Read into that what you want but the truck drivers that have tested positive might cause a lockdown for the lower LGAs
Townsville
If Rein is suspended we have no chance
He is a key part of the Titans
Let’s go boys! Win or lose the finals was the pass mark for the season. A hell of a lot to improve but as far as I’m concerned all teams start anew come finals. Rip in
Roosters v Titans: Tricolours reinforced; Proctor set to return
The fifth-placed Roosters will be the red-hot favourites for Saturday's elimination final but that won't bother a Titans side coming off arguably its best performance of the season.
Trent Robinson's injury-ravaged squad has performed admirably despite having millions of dollars of its salary cap on the sidelines to come within a whisker of a top-four finish.
The Titans' 10-14 record was enough to scrape into eighth spot with a better differential than the Sharks but they saved their best till last, piling on a big score against the Warriors in a game they had to win by at least 11 points.
With a few attacking weapons, they represent a challenging task in week one of the finals.

The rundown
Team news
Roosters: Victor Radley will return at lock, meaning Egan Butcher likely shifts to the interchange. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has been battered and bruised this year but is likely to return to the front-row rotation with Tuku Hau Tapuha and Naufahu Whyte most likely to make way.
Whether Sam Walker continues to come off the bench or moves back to start at halfback will be a big decision for Trent Robinson this week.
Titans: Tyrone Peachey is set to continue at five-eighth and his two-try performance against the Warriors likely mean David Fifita continues in his role as a bench weapon.
Kevin Proctor could make his return from a shoulder injury which would mean Sam McIntyre drops out of the starting 13.
Key match-up
James Tedesco v Jayden Campbell: Tedesco has been simply brilliant through the closing rounds of the season, leading the way with some huge performances.
AJ Brimson could have been a season-ending loss for the Titans but Campbell's irrepressible form has given the Titans a new edge in attack and his scintillating two-try effort against the Warriors has him primed for a big game in his maiden finals match.
Stat attack
Only two forwards in history have scored more tries than the 17 recorded by David Fifita this year - Steve Menzies (1995 and 1998) and Frank Burge (1915, 1916 and 1918).
His tally of 17 is also the most in a season by a Titan, eclipsing David Mead and James Roberts (both 16). The second-best try-scoring forward this year is the Roosters' own edge weapon Sitili Tupouniua (12).
We might be a shiny turd but boy would I be a happy man if the Turd took out the Cox (spelling error deliberate)
Can anybody please explain what Proctor brings to give him a place in next week’s team please? At the very least he’s nursing a crook shoulder bit that right edge functions so much better without him.
