PRESTON CAMPBELL A DANGER MAN TO WESTS TIGERS

Evergreen Gold Coast Titans back Preston Campbell remains very much on the mind of Wests Tigers Head Coach Tim Sheens leading into Monday night’s clash at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
Campbell will play half-back for the injured Scott Prince and Sheens says his players must be on full alert and not underestimate the 15th placed Titans.
“Preparation is very important. At the end of the day it is where they (the players) perceive the opposition to be in their own minds,’’ Sheens said.
“For us, the Gold Coast beat us in (in round 6) as did Parramatta. We were pretty determined last week when we came out against Parramatta and I’m sure the guys will be the same this week.
“We have a high respect for Preston who always seems to manage to slip through our defence on a regular basis when we play him.
“We will be on our toes in that respect and with their win last week, it has obviously taken the pressure off them a little bit.
“They have got their own goals as far as where they are finishing and they don’t want to finish with a poor season or even poorer than they’ve had, so they have plenty of reason to play.
“From our point of view, we have got plenty of reasons to play. We have committed this year to win as many home games as we can and this is our last home game.
“I’d be very disappointed if we don’t turn up. I think we will. It is just a matter then of executing it well.”
