Gold Coast veteran Mark Minichiello says the Titans are at possibly their lowest point in the NRL club's history.
The Titans are desperately trying to move on from coach John Cartwright's decision to step down from the role he's held for the past eight years ahead of Monday's clash with the Sydney Roosters.
The team's struggles to get themselves switched back into football-mode following Tuesday's dramas were evident at Friday's training session.
Co-captain Nate Myles delivered an impassioned speech to his teammates on the field after the session, which Minichiello admitted wasn't the best the team had ever had.
"It wasn't the sharpest session today and we just had a chat about that," he said.
"We did some good things but our communication was down a bit, our talk. It was more about that and make sure we come on Sunday and everyone's communicating right and we have a sharp session."
Minichiello is one of just two foundation players left at the Titans, and he admitted it had been tough to hear Cartwright would no longer be coach following the Roosters game.
"I've seen a lot of highs and lows and this week's probably down with the lowest the club's been at," he said.
"The two guys that stepped aside have pretty much grown the club from the beginning.
"It's sad to see him go."
Cartwright admitted he still felt numb following his announcement earlier in the week but he held no fears about his team's focus for the Roosters clash.
"It's been a funny old week, I'm not going to be too hard on them, everyone handles situations differently," he said.
"I'm sure they'll be in their swinging on Monday night."
