Brent Tate test key for Kevin Gordon, who is eyeing a centre spot at the Gold Coast Titans Kevin Gordon. A TESTING match-up against Queensland veteran Brent Tate could stand between Titans flyer Kevin Gordon making a permanent switch to the centres. Gordon impressed in his first run at left centre for the Titans in Saturday night's 16-14 trial win over the Brisbane Broncos with winger Anthony Don now in the running for a debut in round one against Cronulla. Gordon looked comfortable in attack and held his own in defence, albeit against lesser opposition as the Broncos rested Justin Hodges. Gordon is set to get another chance to stake his claim for the position on Saturday against the Cowboys in Mackay where he is likely to front up against one of the NRL's best centres. Tate missed the Cowboys' first two trials but is expected to front up in a near full-strength outfit in the final pre-season trial. "I thought he was very good," coach John Cartwright said of Gordon's first-half stint inside Don. Anthony Don is a bit of a bolter. He's come out of the Q-Cup but I thought he was really strong and played well last week (against New Zealand). Beau Champion's release to the Rabbitohs has allowed Jamal Idris to move to right centre and he was explosive against the Broncos. Idris and winger David Mead could be in for a successful year with the hulking centre's bustling runs and offloads capable of gifting Mead a bag of tries. But the left side is Cartwright's biggest headache. The club unsuccessfully tried to sign Michael Jennings and Jamie Lyon to replace Champion and are now left with 80 minutes against the Cowboys to decide on the position.
