Gold Coast slumped to their third heavy loss in as many matches last week when beaten by Manly 38 – 20.

Manly’s tally took the points conceded by Gold Coast in these three losses to 124 points!

On the upside for the Titans is that they return home for the first time in two weeks and where they’ve won six of their eight games this year.

They also welcome back Origin players Nate Myles and Greg Bird who weren’t named in last week’s side against Manly.

South Sydney suffered their third loss of the year when, despite leading 18 – 6 with ten minutes to go were taken to and then defeated in, Golden Point time by St. George on Monday night.

Critics were quick to point to the fact that Greg Inglis was missing form the South line-up but think it was more a lapse of concentration (they did lead for 70mins) and that Souths, who have won their last three games over the Gold Coast, will be out to put last week quickly behind them.

Gold Coast have a lot of ground to make up on their performances over the last month and whilst the return of key players and to their home ground will see an improved efforts, sticking with Souths Sydney.
