TURBULENCE maketh the man.
It is a line I use quite a bit in discussions I have with players and with business people, and it is something I have been thinking about a lot in the past couple of weeks when conversation has turned to the Gold Coast Titans.
Handling adversity is one of the qualities that defines champion players, champion teams and champion clubs.
No other club in the NRL has had to endure more over the off-season than the Titans.

We know that. What all rugby league fans, and especially Gold Coast fans, are waiting to find out is how the Titans respond to it.

SHARKS OR TITANS? MANLY DITCH DCE OFFER
To have a successful team, you need people bonding together, making sure everyone is heading in the right direction and everyone is willing to put in to achieve common goals. Hopefully the Titans have taken the opportunity to turn tough times into a time to get tough.
Look at Cronulla a few years back when Ricky Stuart was the coach.
They went through a fair degree of turmoil at that club, but they still went out and played to their potential every week. They insulated themselves against the dramas and made a pact to keep turning up and keep playing for each other.

The Titans need to follow the same blueprint. The club's off-field issues will not be to blame for a dropped pass or a bad read in defence.
There are still some dramas that the club needs to navigate over the coming weeks.
But now it at the very least has stability.
The NRL got involved, but, importantly for the club, there was a good show of faith in the Titans' management with key people like Graham Annesley, Rebecca Frizelle and Darryl Kelly staying in place.
They have the stability and they have the right people in place. All the players need to do is go out and perform.
The Titans have stability, and they have leadership.

What the club needs now is a group of men willing to get the bit between their teeth and fight to the bitter end.
If they can mould a group of 20 men into a team that plays for each other, will not give in and will not back down, then the ingredients are there for the Titans to be the surprise packets of the season.
I think they will beat Wests Tigers at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday. It is their first test of character. I look forward to seeing how they respond.
