Time out for grieving Gold Coast Titans prop Luke Douglas

THE Titans will give devastated prop Luke Douglas as much time away from the field as he needs following the death of his mother yesterday.

Trish Douglas passed away in Maclean District Hospital in Yamba early yesterday morning after a six-month battle with cancer.

It was a day after Mother's Day, when the Titans prop played a starring role in a one-point win over the Dragons.

Douglas has played a remarkable 179 consecutive NRL games since debuting for Cronulla in 2006 and has told the Titans he wants to play on Friday night against the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

Titans football manager Scott Clark said the club would not pressure Douglas to play while he deals with the tragedy in his home town.

"Everyone at the club is devastated for Luke. He loved his mum dearly," he said. "He's shown great professionalism during such a trying time."

Douglas has spent most weekends and days off this year in Sydney by Trish's side.

The former Shark's form hasn't been affected on the field, as he kept veteran prop Luke Bailey out of the starting side until this weekend.

Privately, Douglas was hurting, talking about the moment his father, Chris, told the family Trish was facing a battle to beat a malignant melanoma in her leg.

Douglas's younger brother Kane plays Super Rugby for the NSW Waratahs.

Kane Douglas was on a Wallabies tour in Europe in November when Trish's condition was discovered after she suffered a stroke on a flight to England.

Titans coach John Cartwright, assistant Trevor Gillmeister and Clark will fly to Sydney today for the funeral of Fred Murphy, father of Titans assistant coach Steve Murphy, who died last week.

Trish Douglas is survived by husband Chris and sons Luke, Kane and Jake.

RIP Mrs Douglas.

Sorry to politicise this but I hope ASADA use their 1.6 million windfall wisely. God knows it couldn't be better used in cancer research.
