Arrow won’t lie down on the job
TITANS enforcer Jai Arrow has called on teammates to lift their own standards as the club struggles through their end-of-season woes.
The 23-year-old will remain sidelined in this weekend’s local derby with the Broncos but is confident he will be fully fit for next week’s clash against the Roosters.
His return will be a huge boost for the club as they battle with no head coach while sitting at the bottom of the NRL ladder.
Interim coach Craig Hodges has declared “all positions are vacant” and has wasted no time in making changes to the side defeated by the Melbourne Storm on Sunday.
The Titans will be looking to English Super League import Kallum Watkins for much-needed spark after the three-time premiershipwinning Leeds Rhino was named in the No.3 for this weekend.
AJ Brimson has also been shifted into the halves while veteran Michael Gordon is likely to start at fullback.
Arrow was tracking to make his return from a syndesmosis injury this weekend against his former club but a “flare up” last Monday has set him back another week.
“I’d like to have been out there this week,” Arrow said.
“It’s pretty hard being on the sidelines and watching the boys.”
Arrow has called on his teammates to improve their standards in the coming weeks as the club continues their search for a new coach.
“I’m a big believer that us players have to drive the standards,” he said.
“We have to come up with standards that we think will make us successful. We’ve got to drive that.”
