New post-try celebration for Sami against Eels?

Sorry Titans fans... sadly, there'll be no 'Guthorina' this time round.

Instead, the Legion might just witness another new post-try celebration from Phil Sami should he cross the white stripe this weekend.

The rugby league world erupted in Round 1 when the Gold Coast flyer had a bit of fun after beating Parramatta fullback Clint Gutherson to the line, having a go at performing the signature celebration usually displayed by the Eels No. 1.

"I didn't plan it.. it just happened. It was one of those spare of the moment things," Sami admitted.

"That was a long time ago though and it's just a bit of a laugh now.

"I'm mates with him anyway, so we spoke after the game and he enjoyed it."

Gutherson confirmed there is no bad blood between the pair with the Parramatta captain seeing the funny side of Sami's cheeky antics, waiting in anticipation for when the two sides would meet again... which happens to be this Saturday night at Cbus Super Stadium.

"It adds to the theatre of the game. I love it," Gutherson said.

Although the Eels had the last laugh that day, winning 32-28, it's given the Titans plenty of motivation to seek revenge and keep the undefeated streak alive at home up against one of the competition favourites.

Missing in action last week due to COVID protocols, Sami knows his side will need to score more points, but emphasises another defensive effort like last Thursday against the Tigers will also go a long way in securing the two points against their opposition.

"There weren't many points last week, but the boys backed themselves in defence," Sami said.

"The main focus this week for us has been our defence and points will come off with that.

"If we can defend well, I'm pretty confident our team will attack well too."

Named to return in the centres this week in place of Brian Kelly, the 24-year-old is looking forward to getting back to the position he played at during his Under 20s days, but is also grateful to just be given a role anywhere in the top 17.

"I've grown up I've played centre in the 20s and the junior systems, but I'm at that point in my career where I just want to be in the top 17 every week," Sami said.

"Whether it's centre or wing, I'll put my hand up for it.

"It's obviously a tough challenge this week against Parramatta, but I can't wait."
