    Titans on Webb-watch
    April 30, 2007 01:50pm


    GOLD Coast co-captain Luke Bailey believes Carl Webb's likely return to the Cowboys side will prevent any complacency creeping into the Titans camp.

    Queensland Origin prop Webb is expected to return from a broken jaw for the Cowboys' NRL clash with Gold Coast at Carrara on Monday night.

    His inclusion would be a major boost to the Cowboys following the loss to injury of Test forward Luke O'Donnell, centre Ashley Graham and Kiwi hooker David Faiumu.

    Kangaroo and NSW prop Bailey told AAP he hoped Webb was cleared to play because it would provide the ideal test for both forwards in the lead-up to State of Origin I in Brisbane on May 23.

    "I'd rather he did play," Bailey said following a recovery session in the pool today.

    "We've had a couple of good cracks at each other over the years.

    "It's been a bit of a laugh. If there's any chance of complacency creeping in (for the Titans), there won't be any with Webby there because he inspires their forwards and leads by examples."

    The Titans are entitled to be confident after smashing the Eels 38-12 yesterday at Gold Coast Stadium, where they remain undefeated.

    Bailey doesn't expect Webb to be anywhere near his best on Monday night but he is still wary of the danger the Maroons forward poses.

    Webb, whose jaw was shattered five weeks ago against St George Illawarra, was initially expected to be sidelined for two months.

    "Webby will try to fire the boys up about not playing that good while Luke O'Donnell's out and doing it for him," said Bailey, who had a memorable brush with Webb in the 2005 Origin series.

    "I think (playing for) Queensland will be in the back of his mind and his main priority will be his safety and getting through a game.

    "I know he's a madman but he looks after his body.

    "He might be coming back a bit early and his jaw might not be too flash."

    Webb told the Sunday Mail newspaper yesterday: "The injury won't spook me. It won't stop me running and tackling the way I want to."

    Titans football manager Scott Sattler said defence would be the key against Cowboys dangermen Johnathan Thurston and Matt Bowen.

    "It's going to be an open style of rugby league," Sattler predicted.

    "Our preparation will have to be a little more on cue this week because they ask a lot more questions of you defensively."

    Country Origin representatives Preston Campbell and Anthony Laffranchi will be expected to back up for the Titans after playing against City in Coffs Harbour on Thursday.

    Great news Webb is back so early, but why this week LOL.

    I would rather he didnt play, but hopefully he gets though the game ok.

    So now that makes 3 Match ups

    Thurston vs Prince
    Bowen vs Cambell
    Webb vs Bailey


    This is going to be a dead set cracker.

    Good to see Farrar and Minto retain their spots, both played very good for their first matches in cowboys colours!!! But i would like to see Bowman in the forwards, he doesn't offer much in attack these days, and he is just holding out young kids like Mark Henry, who has massive potential! Ty Williams is still yet to come back, so things are looking good in the back line department.

    Carl Webb coming back this week would be very handy, up against Bailey!

    Can't wait for the game!


    GO THE MAROONS!

    You never know, looks like Carts likes leaving changes to the last minute.

    At least we know he is in the coaches mind for the game. If one of the backs gets injured (either now or in the coming weeks), he is first in line.

    well i watched him last night on tv vs souths logan, few weeks back i think
    saw parts of wat he can do, other then that he was pretty ordinaray
    training with the run on squard will help him
    he just needs to get use to the game again with good ppl around him i rkn
    wouldnt mind to see wat he got
    a better defender then campbell so if bowen makes a break i am sure he has more of a chance
    then campbell can razzle dazzie the big cowboys forwards with princey boi

    just thinking about it
    his prob there just incase campbell gets injury on thursday night?
    prob the right bet, nfi y u would have paea there anyway lol

    Thats a strong Cowboy outfit with Webb and Jenson sitting on the bench.

    Interesting Titans bench though...I can't wait for this one!

    I'm heavily involved in convincing me dad to take me down to the coast to watch this! The Monday night game and all is a shame! Would have loved a Saturday arvo game!!!

    The Thurston/Prince Clash will be a classic! Both playing the best footy of their careers! Thurston will be trying to prove to the selectors he IS the man for the job. Also the battle of the magicians Presto and Matty! Both excitement machines, and playing great!

    Can't wait for the game!!!!!

    Come on Cowboys!!!


    GO THE MAROONS!

    I'm really looking forward to this clash. I think it will be a fantastic game, especially win origin selection just around the corner. I'll pop over and say g'day to those in the legion area .
