Moe Fotuaika knows the Cowboys' biggest strike weapon will be their hulking lock forward Jason Taumalolo.
But how do the Titans stop one of the most lethal weapons in the NRL?
The simple answer is it can't be done... but his Tongan teammate has a back-up plan to help try and minimize the damage usually done in the middle third.
"I don't think you can stop him completely because he's just such a great player," Fotuaika said.
"The main thing for us will be whenever he does get the ball, we just need to try and contain him.
"He's a big part of their team and he's been a big part of their team for a while now, so we'll obviously have our hands full trying to contain him.
"I guess he knows what brings the best out of their team and it'll be a great challenge for us, but we're just focusing on ourselves and looking forward to going out there and getting a win."
Match: Cowboys v Titans
Round 4 -
home Team
Cowboys
12th Position
away Team
Titans
10th Position
Venue: Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville
Only running 109 metres in last Saturday's Cowboys clash against the Warriors - well below his season average of 171 - the Titans have tasked the 23-year-old to help soften the blows the former Dally M Medalist usually delivers, a challenge Fotuaika is more than happy to embrace.
"Whatever position I play in the team... whether it be starting off the bench, I'm pretty keen to do anything," he said.
"Obviously it is different starting, but whatever position I am, I'll try and do my job for the team.
"Missing a few boys due to injury, I guess it's put more work on some of us other senior boys... but it's something that I'm pretty keen to do, along as some of the other boys, so we're definitely looking forward to it."
Whilst Townsville hasn't quite been a happy hunting ground for the Titans, only winning four out of their 15 games played in North Queensland, the Gold Coast prop is hoping to change that statistic this Saturday.
"I think just their fans that they get there [is why they are so successful at home]," Fotuaika said.
"The Cowboys are a great club and they always want to play well for their fans.
"It's a tough job anywhere that you go away to play, but it's been even more tough up there... it's going to be a challenge this weekend, but hopefully we can play well and get the two points."
