Slater's tip to get $1.25M Titan into the game

League legend Billy Slater has offered Gold Coast some advice on how to get $1.25 million star David Fifita into the game. The Titans have lost three on the trot - the latest a shocking 30-4 thrashing at the hands of North Queensland - and as happens during a form slump, the blowtorch is on the highest paid player. Fifita was moved from backrow to centre against the Cowboys but it failed to ignite him or the team. Slater wants the Titans to take a leaf out of Cronulla's book, in regards to forward-turned-centre Siosifa Talakai. Talakai had two tries and three try assists against Manly in round seven, in what many people were calling the best game from a centre in recent memory. "I look at Talakai at the Sharks, and he gets the ball in really good positions," Slater told Wide World of Sports' Billy's Breakdown. "He had an incredible game at the weekend, and it's what is done inside him. "It's really hard for David (Fifita) if he just gets given the ball and (they say) 'do your thing' - he does it occasionally. But at the same time he's got to go and find the ball in these situations. "So get the players to work for Dave, but Dave has got to show the effort to go and get it as well."
