After watching his side confound their critics at every turn this year, Neil Henry reckons Gold Coast has one last NRL surprise in store.The Titans face premiers North Queensland on Saturday night, needing a win to confirm eighth spot and the clubs first finals appearance in six years.Its a position few would have expected them to be in at the start of the season, when a long-term knee injury to young gun Kane Elgey and the stench from James Roberts departure prompted most to write them off as wooden spoon contenders.A win in Townsville is no easy task - the Cowboys are notoriously difficult at home, having lost just once at 1300SMILES Stadium this year.But Henry is keeping the faith.I think weve got a game that can worry them, he said on Friday.Theres points in our team, we know that.Its all or nothing, were playing for our future.We really need to load up in this game or it could be our last.Jarryd Hayne - whose mid-season arrival on the Gold Coast helped spark the clubs overall resurgence - is expected to play despite a badly corked calf.The Titans have travelled with a squad of 19, including David Mead, who will slot into his old position at fullback if Hayne is ruled out.North Queensland are also sweating on their biggest star, co-captain Johnathan Thurston, who is battling tonsillitis.Thurston didnt complete the Cowboys final training session on Friday and coach Paul Green said he wouldnt decide on him until the morning of the game.Hes still a bit flat. He didnt do the whole session so hes still not 100 per cent, Green said.The Cowboys are strong favourites to secure a win that would stitch up a top four position and a finals double-shot.But Green remains cautious of the often unpredictable Titans.Theyre a good team. They deserve to be where they are, he said.Their halves arent afraid to take you on, their back five in particular are really good. Well be tested all over the park.STATS THAT MATTER* The Titans last win in Townsville came in the opening round of 2012 when they became just the third team in history to hold the Cowboys scoreless at home, winning 18-nil.* North Queensland have won 10 of 11 matches in Townsville this season - six of them by 26 points or more.* Neil Henry has never won against the Cowboys in four attempts - three before he joined them as coach in 2009 and one last year.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Defending Olympic champion Aries Merritt rushed back from a kidney transplant to be ready for Rio. He wont let Zika stand in his way, no matter how much his doctors object.Qualifying in the 110-meter hurdles at Olympic Track and Field Trials begins Friday. Should Merritt make the U.S. team, he said he wont think twice about racing in Rio even though the mosquito-borne virus could pose a greater risk to him than most due to the transplant.Theyre very, very concerned. Theyve asked me many, times: `Have you considered not going? said Merritt, who holds the world record in the hurdles (12.80 seconds in September 2012). Im like, `Well, thats not an option. If I make it Im going.The reason is simple: At 30, he doesnt know if this sort of chance will come around again.Merritt won bronze at last years world championships in Beijing with his kidneys barely functioning because of a genetic disorder. He received the transplant from his sister less than a week later. He had another follow-up surgery in October because of complications.He is still in the healing process.Doctors told me I was supposed to be running maybe next year, not this year, Merritt said. I really dont have that option to skip Olympic Games. Its not something I can skip. ... I dont have time to be skipping stuff.He got a late start on training because of the transplant and, other than a groin strain that cost him a few weeks, he says hes in competition shaape.ddddddddddddIts definitely been an uphill battle, Merritt said. There are minor setbacks that happen. Every athlete goes through (something). It wouldnt be a journey if we didnt have something. It just cant be perfect all the time.Merritt didnt let anyone know until just before worlds last August, but he was suffering from a rare genetic disorder that was diagnosed in 2013. For years, it turns out, his kidneys have been faltering, to the point where he ran the final at worlds on Aug. 28 at about eight pounds under his normal weight and with his kidneys barely functioning.He finished 0.01 seconds behind Hansle Parchment of Jamaica for second. Sergey Shubenkov of Russia took gold.Competing at worlds last season with no kidney function was horrible, Merritt said. There was a 90 percent chance Id never run again. I just so happened to beat those odds. Kind of like the odds of going to the Olympic Games.Contrary to a handful of golfers and other athletes who are skipping the Olympics because of fears of the illness, Merritt says hell be there if he qualifies.Hell take plenty of precautions: Long sleeves, insect repellent and plans to stay indoors as much as possible.Other than that, theres not much he can do.We have Zika back in America, he said. I havent gotten it yet. I dont think its that big of deal. ' ' '
