Team to take on the Sharks?

[Inferno]

I'm just wondering if it has been released anywhere yet?

I would think they would stick with the same as last week with the only change being Delany to centre and Webster to the wing.

But I have also heard they might keep it the way it is and replace Walker with Samua.

Anyone heard anything?

Never mind, it has been released on the Titans site.

Injury has forced Jetstar Gold Coast Titans Coach John Cartwright to make several changes ahead of Monday night's Round two clash against Cronulla at Gold Coast Stadium Carrara.

Chris Walker who starred for the Jetstar Titans with a personal haul of twelve points including two tries has undergone surgery today after fracturing a bone in his thumb late in the contest. His place will be taken by Mathew Petersen who scored three tries during a thirty minute burst for Queensland Cup side Tweed Heads Seagulls in the Curtain Raiser to the Titans debut.

Petersen was stretchered from the field after injuring his ankle, however has made a remarkable recovery to win his place in the starting line-up.
Josh Graham has replaced James Stosic on the bench with Stosic ruled out with a foot injury.

Graham was impressive during the Burleigh Bears Queensland Cup opener scoring a try and playing a vital role in several others.

John Cartwright will hold a media conference to discuss the team from 10.00am Tomorrow
morning Wednesday 21st March 2007 at the Titans Recreation room Runaway Bay sports Super centre.

Walker IMO is a big loss. Finished and played well against St.George. Even made a couple of critical decisions about when to come off his wing that snuffed out acouple of dangerous looking attacks.

I think this will be the Titans first win.

i am nervous with Walker out. I wonder who will be the kicker Preston or Matt?

As for my tips this week I am struggling to choose the Titans, only because the Sharks defence was so good last week. Penrith did not break the line once (from my beer induced memory) and held Penrith out for 3 sets in a row. I might toss a coin for this one.

sharks will bash them in the forwards

Hilder can kick OK too.

Scotty Prince's leg looks dodgy.

If he is ruled out, would Preston move to half and Delaney to 5/8?
What are the chances Delaney would kick ahead of Rogers and Preston?

So Titans in the know,who is kicking?

 

[Dirk Titan]

I would love to know just for my fantasy footy

Coach shows faith - supporters must show faith. Kicker doesn't matter if you score them under the posts.

 

[Shorty]

Any news on Prince yet?

 

[DeeGan]

The final decision on Prince will be made tomorrow - I am 99% certain he will be running out for our first home game.

Doubtful.

If Prince is ruled out, Preston would move to halfback with Smith Samua moving to fullback.

I reckon Rogers will be kicking for you guys this week. He was a fair kicker back in the day for us.
