Titans at home with Prince and Presto firing,win by 14.

 

[Boofhead]

The Coast paid a price for their second successive away win with both Meyers (AC joint) and Cannings (dislocated shoulder) expected to be sidelined long-term.

Michael Henderson and young bull Will Matthews are likely to be drafted into the top-17 for Friday night's clash against Canberra at Skilled Park.

[Boofhead]

The Raiders are such an under rated side... Players like Campese, Tongue, Shillington, Harrison, Monaghan do a huge amount of work. Too bad for them the Titans have built up a huge amount of confidence with two away wins. Coming back home, I can't see the Raiders winning.

I'm thinking Titans 1-12.

LATE MAIL

GOLD COAST and Canberra will be a little smaller tonight against each other at Skilled Park after both sides lost a front-rower yesterday. Titans prop Aaron Cannings was ruled out after dislocating his shoulder against North Queensland last Saturday night. He will be replaced by Michael Henderson, who has recovered from a groin injury. Will Matthews has been brought into the squad. Josh Graham is set to drop out. Canberra prop Dane Tilse, meanwhile, will be given at least another week to make his NRL return from an ankle injury. He travelled with the side but is likely to play Queensland Cup on Saturday.

Unless we improve our defence the Titans will take this easy. Plus our attack hasn't been flash and we are going up against the 2nd best defensive team.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

:crazy:cant believe matty and vossy tipped the raiders to win

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Raiders to fire early and take a healthy lead into halftime. Titans will come back but fall just short.

Raiders by 6.

 

[skeepe]

I'm hearing Tongue to start at hooker, Miller to lock, Waddell to the bench and Flanagan dropped.

that would be very good news.

Is Minichiello expected to play? Raiders should have the edge in the forwards but the titans just need to run at purtell or carney to score.

Canberra by 2-8 or Gold Coast by 20

If that's true it's great news for us.

Mini has been passed fit from what I hear.

Flanagan has been sh*t. Good move bringing Waddell in.
