Growing up in the Sutherland Shire, a young Luke Douglas would have given anything for his beloved Cronulla to be atop the NRL ladder on the back of 15-straight victories.On Monday, Douglas will be doing all he can to end the winning streak of his boyhood team.Now a Gold Coast boy, Douglas and the Titans are itching to prove their finals credentials against a Sharks team that has swept all before them since late March.You want to be taking on these good teams to see if youre ready, to see if you can match it with the best, Douglas told AAP.Itd be great to be the ones to end the streak.While the Sharks run has garnered all the headlines, the Titans are in some impressive form of their own.After a five-match losing run culminated in a 38-0 thrashing by Melbourne at Robina in May, the Titans have won six of their past nine to lift themselves into the top eight.The mid-season additions of hooker Nathan Peats and wrecking-ball centre Konrad Hurrell have boosted the club while young halfback Ashley Taylor has exceeded all expectations in his first season at the Titans.Douglas, who made 146 appearances for the Sharks before moving to the Titans ahead of the 2012 season, says hes delighted to see his old club doing so well.He says theres similarities between both teams in terms of excitement and is eagerly awaiting Mondays clash.Theyve got a lot of confidence and a lot of guys who are in red-hot form, Douglas said.Were building as well. Were slowly getting a bit of strike power across the paddock with the inclusion of a couple of new blokes.Were just playing to our strengths ... Im hanging out for Monday night, think we can give them a good clash. Wholesale NFL Shirts .

Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Paul Okon has doubled down on his belief Central Coast are playing the best football in the A-League as he prepares for his first F3 Derby as a coach.The Mariners take on the Newcastle Jets - who Okon captained in his final season as a player - at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday afternoon.Both sides have endured a tough start to the season, with only one win apiece after six rounds.But while the Jets are genuinely struggling on the back of a relentless injury toll, Okon insists the Mariners are playing slick, attractive football - they just dont have the results to prove it.I think some of the stats will show that. It just depends on how much you want to look into the stats, Okon said.I dont think any of our opportunities or goals weve scored have come from mistakes off the opposition - its all been stuff that weve worked on during the week, stuff that we really encourage in our playing style.Were going to continue that, we just need to make sure we can as quickly as possible translate that into victories.Okon played in two F3 Derbies during his stint with the Jets in the 2006-07 season, and was actually sent off in his first clash with the Mariners.He admits the fixture has lost some of the spice that once made it a highlight of the A-League calendar, but a new ticketing inittiative allowing members of both clubs free entry to the match could change that.dddddddddddd just think the last couple of years it probably hasnt been the derbies it was previously. Hopefully Sundays a taste of whats to come, he said.Hopefully we can get that feeling back again, that atmosphere.Bookmakers have the Jets as strong favourites to win, despite skipper Nigel Boogaard suffering an ankle injury last week to further deplete Newcastles defensive stocks.His injury prompted the recruitment of Iain Fyfe on a short-term deal, with the former A-League veteran expected to start alongside the returning Ben Kantarovski in the centre of defence.STATS THAT MATTER* After a promising start to the season, Newcastle have now lost their last three games in a row; the last time they lost more was a four-game losing streak in Round 27, 2010/11.* All of the Mariners goals scored this season have been by the right boot; they are the only team yet to score from either a header or the left foot.* The last three iterations of the F3 Derby hosted by Newcastle have ended in a draw and not since November 2013 has either team scored multiple goals in such a fixture.
