It's Monday morning which means it's time to move on from that last start against Parra and look towards Round 22 this week. We go up against the Titans in a Saturday afternoon game in this one. It's a special Round this week, Women In League Round. Hence why Souths will be the Pink and Green this week instead of our traditional colours. Hopefully the boys wear it with pride and it's a good chance for all of us to reflect on all the incredible women in our lives.
Anyway, in years gone by you'd look at a game against the Titans and think "easy win," but this year is different. This year, that's not the case at all. In fact, the Gold Coast currently sit seventh so this is another top eight clash and another pretty good test. They've been playing some really good Footy and are having a strong finish to the year which looks to have them set to make an appearance in the Finals. I've actually been quite impressed with a few of their displays and they can be a very tough side to contain when they're on. What's more, they'll come into this one with a lot of confidence and it's a super important game for them so I imagine they'll be extremely fired up.
For us, it's all about marching on. This is going to be a tough game no doubt, a danger game for sure! However, if you want to be one of the top teams, it's a game you really should be winning. But we're going to have to work for that this week, the Titans aren't just going to gift it to us like in years gone by. If they're going to go down, this year, they'll go down with a fight. This is why I don't want tot see us take them lightly at all, they'll get us otherwise. Treat a top eight team with the respect it deserves and the way they've been playing, they certainly deserve respect. We need to hold that ball and keep the attack flowing but once again, the main focus should be on defence. Remember what happened last time we played them? We cannot be conceding soft tries like that. Defence was a lot better last week but I want to see it continue to improve.
So a really important top eight clash in this one, it's really important we have a good week and keep building. Bring it on!!
