Prince in doubt

[Trav 182]

Has trained very little this week and a final decison on his fitness will be made on sunday. Decision will be made by medical staff . Hope he dosent play would really screw them royally in organisation. Also good that walkers out certainly looks to have improved over previous seasons.

Does anyone remember when i said, maybe we should offer this guy a contract? Although he really is on his last shot

Billy Johnstone says in the papers he should be right, but apparently there are whispers suggesting otherwise. Titans I reckon will be shot without Prince. But that'd be no reason to take them lightly.

With Walker out, I think they've lost 50% of their scoring ability right there. Now they'll have Petersen and Paea on the wings, neither of which I rate. Rogers and Webster inside them though are dangerous, but I reckon we've got pretty good defense in Pom and Hannay.

If Prince is out, they'll be likely to switch Campbell into the halves I reckon, which should give the big fellas something to run at in the middle of the field. In saying that, lets not forget he won a Dally M in not even a full season at half back..

yeah even if he is out i dont think it should change our approach to the game one bit. we should go in expecting and prepared for their best side. i wouldnt want us to go down to a lineup without their key players like against brisbane a couple of times in the past.

 

[Capital_Shark]

I'm pretty much certain he'll play. Theres a few articles around where he's deadset determined to, and with the game being the last of the round on Monday night, that gives him maximum time, and the Titans would be mad to rule him out early. Lets not forget Carty was Ricky's apprentice, and Ricky enjoys a mind game or two. This could all be some futile attempt to trick Ricky into under preparing the boys.

 

[gavin07]

dont think ricky would under prepare us, he is smarter than that.

After reading that article I don't think he'll play. Does anyone know who Samau is? (the replacement fullback when Campbell shifts to half)

Woody, I don't know much about him but I can tell you that he is one of two juniors from the Storm who moved to the Titans in exchange for Steve Turner being allowed to stay in Melbourne.

Im dissapointed that he might not play. i would have liked the titans to run at us with there best side. i want every team to run at us with there best sides. that way we can really work on becoming one of the harder sides to play agenst rather then the joke side that hasnt won a premiership in 40 years

i don't care if he plays or he doesn't, i'm more worried about two ex sharks in campbell and rogers, who both played well last week.considering he has been playing a game where tackling is optional(union), rogers was pretty good in defence last week, and that run down the sideline was vintage rogers.

 

[gavin07]

looks like prince is certain to play now

 

[WillyInBris]

Watched the news last night and his foot was still strapped and he wasn't putting much pressure on it.

I hope he does play and I am sure he wants to but the titans couldn't be that stupid to let him play so soon even if its a slight tear, this early in the season.

 

[zakspiders]

while its advantageous to play teams without star players it doesnt provide a real test of our form.to be competitive we've got to play (and beat)full strength opposition.
go the sharks

 

[Nulla Boy]

in the telegraph(sydney)it says he has beened cleared of injury and will play.

 

[Woody]

I still don't think he'll play. I just don't think that they'll risk him doing a massive tear and miss him for the next couple of months, its also his kicking ankle so he'll be putting a fair bit of pressure on the ankle. They have a more than capable half back as well which might make them rest him up. You never know though, he'll probably read this post and decide to play just to prove me wrong

 

[gavin07]

lol interesting theory woody. but for sure if prince does play the sharks will pretty much put up a one way sign and direct all our traffic at him. both in attack and defense.

 

[sharks195]

for sure he will be targeted, so i advise him to stay on the sidelines and watch his beloved titans get crushed.

 

[Great White]

He was one of their best on Monday night, considering his ankle was so far shot, please spare me, he was always playing.
