Erin Clark is well aware that he faces a tough challenge to secure a spot in the Titans' line-up for their season opener against the Dragons on March 9.
The experienced utility player, who has already played in 71 games for Gold Coast, is embracing the competition for a place in the top 17 as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
With a talented group of young players making waves during the pre-season under the guidance of the seasoned coach Des Hasler, Clark has had the opportunity to observe their progress while he continues his rehab.
This has provided him with valuable insight into the team's preparation for the upcoming season, and he even suggests that there may be a few surprise inclusions for the first round in a few months' time.
Clark's determination and resilience will be crucial as he fights to secure his place in the starting line-up amidst the fierce competition within the squad.
