Source: www.titans.com.auJetstar Gold Coast Titans forward Anthony Laffranchi is set to return from injury to play his 100th NRL match for the club in Saturday night's home clash against the Canberra Raiders at Skilled Park.
Jetstar Titans Coach John Cartwright today named Laffranchi to return from injury after missing last weekend's loss to competition heavyweights Melbourne with a corked thigh.
Inaugural Titan Laffranchi becomes the fifth Gold Coast player to reach the 100 game milestone for the club with just three matches remaining before he departs for UK Super League club St Helens at the end of this season.
Jetstar Titans Assistant Coach Trevor Gillmeister said it was a nice milestone for Laffranchi to reach after being a great servant for the Titans over the past five years.
"Boof's been a great part of this club since day one, coming from the Tigers winning a premiership,'' said Gillmeister.
"He's been tremendous for our young fellas. He's been a great bloke and just from a coaching point of view, he's one of those coachable blokes who does what he's told and you just enjoy having him around.''
The Titans have not been beaten in three matches against the Raiders on home soil at Skilled Park and in their previous encounter earlier this year secured a thrilling 23-22 golden point victory in the nation's capital.
However, Gillmeister said with both sides positioned in 14th (Canberra) and 16th (Titans) place on the ladder and desperate to finish the season on a high, there were no guarantees.
"Canberra is in the same boat as us but the beauty about this competition it you never know what's going to happen. Anyone can beat anyone on their day,'' he said.

Source: www.titans.com.auInaugural Jetstar Gold Coast Titan Anthony Laffranchi says he's proud to be reaching his 200th game milestone with the club that he helped build, as the curtain begins to close on his esteemed 11-year career in the NRL.
The Murwillumbah junior, who was the Jetstar Titans' fourth ever signing prior to the club's start-up year in 2007, will reach the 200-game milestone against the Newcastle Knights at Ausgrid Stadium on Sunday.
The match is just one of a handful remaining in the NRL for the former Australian and NSW representative back rower before he finishes his rugby league career in the English Super League with St Helens from next season.
"I was proud to be an inaugural member of the Titans - the fourth signing at the club,'' said Laffranchi.
"If I look back on my career at the Titans, it's been a great five years - very successful.
"I've played all my rep footy here and some of my best footy here at the Titans under Carty (Coach John Cartwright) and the playing group here.
"It's coming towards the end knowing that we can't play semis and there's six weeks to go so I'm just really trying to enjoy it, not only the games but just the week leading up at training and just being around the boys.
"It's not as if I'm retiring from rugby league in general but it kind of feels like that a little bit because I'm leaving the NRL and leaving the Gold Coast as well.''
In an impressive feat for a forward, Laffranchi is equal with point scoring wizard Mat Rogers as the highest ever try scorer for the Titans with 32 career tries to date.
The 31-year-old is also the next player in line to play 100 games for the Titans, behind Mark Minichiello (105 games), Scott Prince (100 games) and Nathan Friend (100 games). Laffranchi is set to play his 98th match for the club this weekend.
While the club has not had a good winning record in matches where players have reached milestones in 2011, the former Wests Tigers premiership winning forward said he was hoping to break that trend against the Knights.
"As a personal achievement, you're quite happy - you wouldn't think you'd play one or 10 first grade games let alone 200,'' he said.
"It's a great achievement but the focus is on getting the win against Newcastle on Sunday.
The departure of Laffranchi will also bring an end to his off-field combination with Titans captain Scott Prince, with the pair forming a strong bond as roommates for the past eight years stretching back to their stint with the Wests Tigers.
"I won't know what to do - I'll have to Skype him I suppose when I'm staying away,'' he joked.
"I'm sure he'll be alright, he'll get someone else to babysit him.''
