The Titans have gone from a team that lost 36-0 one week to being involved in a coin-flip with a team rated a genuine premiership threat the next.
NRL.com tipsters have been quick to forgive the Gold Coast for last week s nightmare showing against Manly, giving them every chance of beating a South Sydney side minus Latrell Mitchell at Cbus Super Stadium on Friday night.
That the Titans will be without powerful forward Tino Fa asuamaleaui (who like Mitchell is suspended), hasn t changed things a great deal.
Among the other matches, the Manly-Wests Tigers and Roosters-Dragons fixtures also resulted in differing opinions.
It s not just the 16 teams that start a new Telstra Premiership season full of hope - NRL tipsters far and wide are convinced this year will be the one that ends in glory.
For players that glory is ANZ Stadium on grand final night. For tipsters knowing you ve taught family, friends and work colleagues a lesson is often enough.
Having some advice to follow always helps, and that s just what NRL.com will provide each week when the 16 panel members share their predictions.
Defending champion and Ladies Who League s Mary Konstantopoulos is back to defend her title. Previous winners Allana Ferguson (Channel Nine) and Steve Renouf (Maroons legend and NRL.com columnist) are also back.
