In the upcoming Round 13 match, the Titans, currently 16th on the ladder but only one game away from the top eight, face a crucial stretch of three matches that they can potentially win.
They host the Storm before heading to Brisbane to challenge the Broncos and then returning home to play against Manly.
Des Hasler's Titans have a chance to overcome three tough teams during the Origin period, as they may be more vulnerable at this time.
While the Titans have the offensive capability to compete, "when their attack clicks the Titans are capable of beating anyone," their defensive issues remain a significant concern.
They currently have the worst defense in the NRL, allowing an average of 31 points per game, including a particularly rough 50 points conceded to the Cowboys and 40 points to both the Bulldogs and Raiders.
On the other hand, the Storm has been inconsistent, having alternated wins and losses from Round 6 to Round 11, resulting in a W-L-W-L-W-L record.
Coming off a bye week, they'll be looking to build more stability for the latter half of the season.
