Des Hasler is staying calm and collected as he prepares to face his former club when the Titans take on his old team at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday night.
The seasoned coach knows that controlling possession is crucial for the Titans to secure their first victory against his former side.
The Gold Coast team has struggled to dominate the ball in the first five rounds of the season, with an average possession rate of just 45 percent.
Despite a tough loss to the Raiders last Sunday, Hasler remains focused on improving their ball control in training sessions.
As Hasler gears up for his first showdown against the club where he tasted success, winning four premierships - two as a player and two as a coach, he is determined to replicate that success on the Gold Coast.
The experienced mentor is hoping to bring the winning mentality he cultivated on the Northern Beaches to his new team.
