Heading into this week's away clash with the Eels, the Titans have just one win from five starts in 2015 and that was a victory pinched in the dying seconds against Cronulla with an intercept try.
NSW and Australia representative Greg Bird, one of the four Titans players facing cocaine supply charges, admits the downturn on-field has been stark but he insists it can be reversed.
"We're not doing a lot different," said Bird. "We're finding ourselves in these gritty games. We're probably not playing as consistent over the 80 minutes as we were last year.
"There's a fine line between winning by two and losing by two and unfortunately we've been on the wrong side of it this year."
Last year's strong start was built on the back of winning tight contests.
Four of the five wins were by six points or less, while this year the Titans have lost twice at home in the dying seconds to Wests Tigers and Newcastle, results Bird knows could easily have gone his team's way.
"There's no reason why we can't turn that around and get a bit of confidence and learn how to win again," he said.
"Get that feeling and when the game comes down the crunch, make sure we're putting ourselves in the right positions with the ball and then without the ball.
"We just need to be a lot more consistent and I'm sure the results will start turning in our favour."
