Source: www.weststigers.com.auGold Coast Titans Coach John Cartwright is hoping his team can do some damage to Wests Tigers' finals charge when the two sides clash at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Monday, August 29.
Speaking after the Titans' second win in three games in beating Canberra last Saturday night, Cartwright says his players will be desperate to avoid the wooden spoon and would enjoy making life difficult for Wests Tigers.
"We want to make it hard for the Tigers. If we can knock them out of the eight, I want to knock them out of the eight," Cartwright said.
His comments were not lost on classy young Wests Tigers centre Blake Ayshford who admitted the Titans would proved to be tough opposition despite their position on the ladder.
"These are the hardest games. They have nothing to play for and want to knock teams out (of the finals race) as we would if we were not in contention,'' Ayshford said.
"They won't drop their guard and I am sure we won't. We want to get as high as we can and our goal is top 4."
Todd Payten, preparing for his final Wests Tigers home game before retiring at season's end, is mindful of a Titans side without half-back Scott Prince.
"I think they will be looking to spoil anyone's party leading into the finals and they want to finish the season strongly heading into next year,'' Payten said.
The Titans beat Wests Tigers in round 6 and have won five of the last eight clashes between the two sides. The honours are shared one apiece at Campbelltown.
Wests Tigers will be chasing their seventh straight victory as it attempts to secure fourth spot on the Telstra Premiership ladder and the all important home final.
Fresh from a double in the win over Parramatta which also brought up 100 career points for Wests Tigers, Ayshford said there was still plenty of improvement left in the side as the painful memory of going so close last year still burns deeply.
"We still need to play for 80 minutes. We came out to keep Parramatta at zero but they scored 12 points,'' he said.
"We have almost the exact same team as last year and we all believe we can go one better."
