PETER STERLING: Tipping to bounce back

http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/peter-sterling-tipping-to-bounce-back/1619561.aspx?storypage=3Could the Gold Coast win the competition without Scott Prince, or Melbourne without Cooper Cronk? I doubt it.Speaking of the Titans, they could only ever finish in third position after the Sea Eagles game.I'm certain that Manly coach Des Hasler would have made sure that his charges were shielded from the Warriors-Storm result of the game played earlier that night.He would have wanted to make sure that his side were still striving to achieve a possible top-four finish.As it turned out, the Storm had already wrapped up fourth, but the Eagles would not have known that.Injury and suspension loom as problems for the Titans. I don't see Mat Rogers playing against Brisbane, and the unavailability of William Zillman has taken away much of their flexibility.Still, this is a team who have not been outside the top eight and are the only side remaining that have beaten all other finalists this season.It remains to be seen whether the Titans, Eels and Bulldogs can rebound from last week's disappointment. The one thing I am sure of is that their opposition this week are expecting them to.
