NRL Previews - Titans v Tigers (Round 6)

  vs  
15-04-2011 07:30PM at Skilled Park

Referees: Shane Hayne and Adam Devcich
Touch Judges: Daniel Eastwood and Gavin Morris
Video Referee: Sean Hampstead

With a 1 and 4 record staring him in the face, Titans coach John Cartwright is now feeling the pressure. The former Penrith forward came to the Gold Coast with good experience as an assistance coach and player and was duly trusted with the future of the club by Michael Searle. He now owns a 50% all time winning record in charge at Robina and is struggling this season so far. The going is about to get a whole lot tougher this Friday night as Benji Marshall comes to town.

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens will test every possible weakness in the home side and this method will be delivered astutely, as always, by Robbie Farah and Marshall. Add to this arsenal the rejuvenated Tim Moltzen, now in his preferred position at halfback and tipsters will be flocking towards the visitors. Gareth Ellis plays all over the Titans and the Tigers win 2 in a row.

My Tip: Tigers 22-16
