Greg Marzhew has had a taste of NRL action, now he wants to make himself a regular in the top grade.
The Titans winger spent the off-season with his family, with his partner welcoming their second child almost three months ago.
Now, back on the training paddock, Marzhew has his eyes set on claiming a spot on the wing for round one.
The 24-year-old managed eight games in his rookie season, scoring six tries and averaging a whopping 185 running metres per game.
While he impressed plenty in 2021, Marzhew knows he needs to first see off the challenge from hungry team-mates if he is to be in the starting side for the Titans first up clash against Parramatta in March.
“It’ll be competition and fighting for spots (during the pre-season) so I’m looking forward to the friendly competition there,” Marzhew said.
“It’s mainly been testing and gym but I think we get into the tough stuff now.
“I think our boys have the potential to go a long way so that is something to look forward to and try and be a part of.”
Fellow winger Corey Thompson returned to training early, with Marzhew saying it shows how excited the squad are to start planning for next season.
Although he did joke that Thompson’s early return did cramp his style somewhat.
“I thought I’d have those two weeks to get in with Justin and get in his good books but no,” Marzhew laughs.
“It’s great to see him (Thompson) back early though.”
Thompson and Marzhew were joined by other outside back contenders in Phil Sami, Esan Marsters, Patrick Herbert, Jojo Fifita and Alofiana Khan-Pereira in returning to the training paddock, with Brian Kelly due back shortly.
