Despite the Gold Coast Titans sitting at the bottom of the NRL ladder with only four wins this season, captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui remains hopeful for a turnaround.
Recent reports highlight that the Titans endured their 11th loss in 15 matches during a disappointing game against the North Queensland Cowboys, where they conceded another 30 points.
This performance has solidified their reputation as one of the league's weakest defensive teams.
With only one bye remaining in the last ten rounds of the season, the Titans face a daunting challenge.
To have any chance of reaching the finals, they likely need to win at least eight out of their nine remaining games, or potentially all of them.
The situation looks grim, but Fa'asuamaleaui is resolute, and the team is focused on trying to defy the odds.
