    Shaun and I are going to this game, his (first) team is the Knights and mine is the Titans, so it should be interesting

    However, we have seats in the front row of the Eastern Stand :test: (not the temporary seating but the actual grandstand), so we won't be sitting with The Legion this time. I can't wait, I am so excited! And who knows, might even go to the Titanium Bar afterwards if we feel like it. Just that Shaun has to bring another top because I doubt they'll let him in wearing his Newcastle jersey, regardless of who wins that night!

    Looking forward to the game

    Titans v Knights Preview

    Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - 3:08 PM

    There’s a lot to like about the first ever clash between these two teams, fifth versus seventh on the ladder, with each exhibiting the same brand of expansive, open football.

    The Titans’ gutsy effort to defeat the Wests Tigers 16-14 at Campbelltown last week (without lynchpin prop Luke Bailey) sees them riding a three-game winning run – the equal best record by a Gold Coast-based team ever.

    Before their round 13 bye they accounted for the Raiders 28-8 and the Rabbitohs 25-18, both at home; they’ve now won four of their five games at Carrara Stadium.

    The Knights clawed out a vital 22-18 win over the Raiders at home last Monday; before that they were outclassed by the Wests Tigers 33-14 in Newcastle during the weekend of the first bad storms.

    Watch out Titans: Before he was injured in the first State of Origin game Kurt Gidley was hands-down the competition’s best player.

    Despite missing three games he’s still near the top of the major stats categories – 192 runs (19.2 per game), 28 offloads (fourth in the comp) and 612 metres returning kicks (10th most).

    Look for him to provide spark inside the Titans’ 20-metre line, a zone where the Knights have scored more than three-quarters of their tries this year.

    Watch out Knights: As if the Titans’ attack hasn’t been dynamic enough recently they welcome back the devastating Preston Campbell from injury, allowing Mat Rogers to remain in his preferred position at centre.

    No matter, Rogers is easily in career-best form regardless of the jersey number on his back – last week he scored two tries (one a superb evasive lateral sprint to the corner), made 13 runs for 144 metres, two line breaks and eight tackle breaks.

    He now has the second most line breaks in the comp (12).

    Meanwhile Campbell will be out to make up for lost time and add to his four line breaks and 29 tackle breaks from his first seven games.

    Where it will be won: A classic battle of the generals: Scott Prince up against Danny Buderus.

    Both have been tireless leaders all year. Prince is the most constructive attacking player in the NRL, with a competition-leading 17 try assists to go with nine line break assists (all from pinpoint passes).

    After a man-of-the-match performance in his 200th game last week Buderus will be keen to pull out another big game to silence calls that Robbie Farah leapfrog him into the NSW Origin team (yeah, absurd, we know).

    But the Titans are strong marker defenders (284 tackles to the Knights’ 190 – worst in the comp), which means not only will they be ready to combat Buderus’ forays, they just might look to exploit the ploy themselves.

    The History: Yet to play.

    Conclusion: The Titans are building impressively.

    They look cohesive and settled. Secondary players such as Mark Minichiello (who plays his 100th NRL game this week) are thriving behind the likes of Bailey and Anthony Laffranchi – “mini Mini” is developing into the Laffranchi mould, with eight offloads, four line breaks and three tries – look for him to stiffen his 79-metre average gain.

    Conversely the Knights have appeared unsettled and lacklustre over the past month.

    Still, with Jarrod Mullen reverting to his favoured five-eighth position and Luke Walsh growing into the no.7 jersey, the signs are good.

    This is a good chance for Mullen to show he deserves to be picked at no.6 for the Blues in Origin III – he’ll be looking to add to his eight try assists.

    There’s not much between these teams in attack – the Titans have scored 43 tries to the Knights’ 42.

    But defensively the Titans have conceded just 42 four-pointers to the Knights’ 60. Before a vocal home crowd, they might just continue to astound the critics and march towards a top-four berth.

    Match officials:
    Referee – Ben Cummins; Sideline Officials – Russell Turner & Adam Devcich; Video ref – Steve Nash.

    Televised: FoxSports 3 – Live 7.30pm.
