IN A bizarre role reversal, giant Titans second rower Ryan James has hailed diminutive halfback Kane Elgey for saving him in defence.

There is a 15cm and 35kg difference between them but James said the fact the little half had to cover him shows he should not be thinking about playing for the Blues.

Laurie Daley has stated James is Origin material and the 193cm forward has been among the Gold Coast's best in a disappointing season start.

Shifted to the edge this season after playing prop last year, the often injured James is showing why he has been hyped as a potential star.

However, ask James about his form and all he does is lament his defensive lapses and wish the Titans had executed better in their 26-16 home loss to Brisbane on Friday.

"You should never be satisfied with your own game," James said.

"There are things I need to work on. Kane Elgey saved me a couple of times in defence.

"It is a bit strange for a halfback to save a second-rower in defence, it is usually the other way around.

"It is good to play consistent footy but disappointing to lose. We are one from five but we could have been three from five.

"I am not thinking about Origin.

''My focus is to get the Titans some wins and improve my own game.

"The effort is there from us. We need to work on our game plan and execute better."

James' new-found versatility will help his Blues chances, where he is a realistic option for a bench spot.

"On the edge it is a lot different to the middle. I don't have to do those bash-up runs anymore but I have to time my runs now and get better at that," James said.

James Tamou's position in the NSW side is in danger while Trent Merrin has been average for St George Illawarra.
