[Tamwelg]

Whats the go with Laffrani and court case??

Old news, it's in another thread that is closed until we have an outcome.

[patskE]

souths have the forwards to run over us but nothing in the backs
if we spread it n shizzle, put some plays on should score easy
gubber at mellor he old n find it hard to bend down
u guys remember souths 1st game i think, went right pass him casue he couldnt bend over in time to pick it up lead to a try
latter on that much got pulled off for back trouble, just keep testing him

The next 2 weeks is the opportunity for the Titans to get their season back on track with the Rabbits and Raiders at home leading into the bye. If they pull off a win this weekend, take the confidence into the Raiders game and knuckle down and prepare for the 2nd half of the season with the weekend off, they'll be looking good. First off though they need a clinical 80 minute display against Souths. Anything less and the top 8 will looking quiet a way off.

Titans 13+

Lewis gets chance to claim No.6 jersey

Luke Turgeon

26May07

FUTURE Titans five-eighth Josh Lewis has backed himself to 'make an impact' when he makes his NRL debut against Souths at Carrara tonight and stake his claim for the No.6 jumper.

The 21-year-old is tipped to start the match at five-eighth in No.17, less than two weeks after arriving on the Coast following his mid-season split with the Sydney Roosters.

Regarded by the Titans as the man to add much needed attacking spark to the backline, Lewis is confident he can live up to the hype.

"Hopefully I make an impact," he said. "I am a confident guy.

"I love playing first grade and I love being out there.

"I will give it my best shot."

Incumbent pivot Matt Hilder has been solid for the Titans but as a natural backrower/hooker, was never considered a long-term solution outside Scott Prince.

The Titans had been hunting a new five-eighth for next season since the early rounds, before Lewis approached the club at the start of this month after being demoted to premier league with the Roosters.

Lewis played 11 NRL games under Ricky Stuart last season before new Roosters coach Chris Anderson forced him to the outer in favour of 18-year-old whiz kid Mitchell Pearce this year.

"I came up here for an opportunity and hopefully I play a good game this week," said Lewis.

"A big reason I left was I wasn't enjoying myself. I am just looking for a fresh start I guess."

All eyes will be on Lewis when the cloak is lifted tonight, giving Gold Coast fans their first real glimpse of the Titans new recruit.

He comes into the side at a tough time, with the Titans on a three-match losing streak and looking to get their season back on track with a win over the Rabbitohs.

"I will try and help Princey (halfback Scott Prince) out with the kicking game, hopefully that will help us out a bit.

"It would be good to play outside Princey and get a combination going and hopefully I can make No.6 my own."

Cartwright will make the final call on whether Hilder or Lewis will start today.

"You can't expect too much, he has only had half a dozen training sessions with us," said Cartwright.

Saw news report that suggest big red Brad Meyers will be starting tonight. I hope this doesn't mean Stosic has been dropped from the side but rather Hodgson.

I can't see them dropping Stosic.

The South Sydney Slide continues..

Congratulations to the Titans, sets up a very interesting clash against Canberra who have won 3 of their last 4 as well as their last 2 on the road....

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed that game, and I can tell you that Jason Taylor was pretty emotional in the press conference after the match!

I think coach Cartwright has finally found the perfect foil to the attack of Scott Prince, with Josh Lewis not wasting anytime in slotting into the Titans backline with ease.

I will be interesting what 'Carty' will do when Campbell is fit and ready to return, with Mathers solid and mistake free, without being flashy.

Anyway, to find out why Taylor is steaming, click on the below link -
