Halves riddle no closer to a solution for Titans coach John Cartwright Beau Henry impressed for the Titans against the Warriors in an NRL trial at Pizzey Park. Picture: Luke Marsden Source: The Sunday Mail (Qld) GOLD Coast Titans coach John Cartwright says he is no closer to finding a replacement for Scott Prince after his three halfback candidates starred in last night's 42-24 trial win over New Zealand. Halfback contenders Albert Kelly, Beau Henry and Jordan Rankin all caught the eye at times during a high-scoring trial at Miami on the Gold Coast. Former NYC player of the year Henry produced a number of deft kicks while Kelly's vision and composure stood out in the 18-point win. Rankin scored a slick solo try to ensure he stays in the running for the No. 7 jersey. "I don't think it made it any clearer to be honest," Cartwright said. I thought the three of them were very strong defensively. Their kicking games were all very good and they threatened the line at various stages. It hasn't made it much clearer for us so we'll keep that competition going right up until the season kicks off. The challenge then is to keep the guys up that don't make it and make sure they're putting pressure on every week. A serious knee injury to impact forward Sione Lousi soured Matt Elliott's first game in charge of the Warriors. The giant 23-year-old was carried off the field in the 52nd minute after reeling away from a hit-up near the Titans' line. Lousi punched the turf in disgust and then writhed in agony when club medics detected ligament damage to his right knee. "The early call on it is a posterior cruciate ... that's not great but it's not season-ending," Elliott said. Lousi's brother Sam also finished the night with some worries as he was placed on report for a high tackle in the second half. Titans prop Matt White will also undergo scans on his knee after copping a nasty blow in the early exchanges.
