The Titans tackle one of the toughest road trips in the NRL without a win to their name and new coach Des Hasler facing one of the toughest challenges of his distinguished career.
On the evidence of Sunday afternoon's games, where the Titans gave up 35 points against the Cowboys while the Green Machine piled on 41 against the Eels. this shapes as another tough day for Hasler.
There is no doubt the Titans have the weapons to spring an upset if David Fifita, Jayden Campbell and AJ Brimson hit their straps, but it's their defence that needs to stiffen up considerably if they are to contain Canberra's potent backline.
