2008 Titans Team

[Teegy]

all those picking shannon walker at fullback have got to be joking. he only played a quarter of the season at FB for tweed. need to start him on the wing

[Throb]

I think you can rule out having Jake in the side. Media Release says he is off to England.

[Big J]

I like Mini, don't get me wrong, had a chat with him on Saturday night, nice guy and he is a good player, but with Meyers back I would have Brad in the side, he's aggression plus and a great leader as well, and we need more leaders on the field...

I really tossed up putting Mini on the bench, but I put Matt Cross there as he is versatile, can play second row and prop, even lock if need be from memory... and I think if he can get it right, he will be a very handy acquisition for the Titans...

Mini is a great player, but he is just outside the 17 for me in 2008, actually he or Swain would be 18th player TBH... I hope he proves me wrong though, as he has done really well in the second row in 2007 and I wouldn't complain if he is there next year...

Minichiello over Meyers every day of the week for me!! Meyers off the bench. You are right about one thing though, he is a good bloke. Was in my year at Westfields Sports High. Swain would be my 18th man. He is also a great bloke. Was in my rep cricket team at Blacktown back in the day.

Now that I've finished name dropping I'm going back to work!!!

why is that??? is it pressure under the high ball or defence??? because these days wingers probably get more bombs than fullbacks do and defending at fullback should be easier then defending on the wing anyway if your frontline is doing there job.

That doesn't make any sense because i reckon minicello has been one of the most aggressive people in the side this year. Plus what i've seen this year he has shown excellant leadership skills

Not sure what others were picking but i'm talking about Chris Walker at No1 but Shannon Walker will play in the NRL in 08' guaranteed so i wouldn't right he kid off yet .

[Teegy]

kelvinator its because you wouldnt throw a rookie in out of position. majority of the QRL games he played is Wing. now he gets to try FB. i would do the same with the Titans. start him on the wing and if hes ready then move to fullback

[scooter]

lmao can u tell im bored whos cares as long as we win and wiff no injuries...otherwise me nhj

[quins rl]

Seen a bit of Shannon Walker this season for Seagulls,no doubting the guy has potential,but his handling has been shocking at times,spills a heck of a lot of ball,and would need to do a lot of bulking up if hes gonna play first grade next year!
Get down to Pigabeen,Tweed, saturday for Seagulls v Ipswich to see Shannon and a few other Titans in action?

[Timmy Titans]

My Team would be

1. Walker
2. Peterson
3. Rogers
4. Delaney
5. Bowen
6. Cambell
7. Prince
8. Bailey
9. Friend
10. Henderson
11. Laffranci
12. Minichello
13. Swain


14. Meyers
15. Donneley
16. Kahler
17. Amos

:woot:

:woot:

Without seeming to harsh you can not possibly have been watching the same games that I was Timmy Titans. Kahler was the only prop in the nrl (whether he was played out of position or not) to register a negative figure when it came to metres gained. He was awful.

And he didnt look any better in the Qld cup games.Bit worried we appear to be signing a lot of fringe players and guys who cant get a run at other clubs?

[Supergoose]

I reckon that Shannon Walker's performance in the Qld Cup Grand Final and winning the player of the year has put him in the frame for a start in first grade next year. I admit that I haven't seen that much of him but I think fullback is probably the spot for him due to the smaller defensive workload. So in saying that here is the team I'd be looking at for 2008 at Robina Arena/Skilled Park.

1. Shannon Walker
2. Matt Petersen
3. Mat Rogers
4. Chris Walker
5. Brenton Bowen
6. Preston Campbell
7. Scott Prince
8. Ian Donnelly
9. Nathan Friend
10. Michael Henderson
11. Luke Bailey
12. Anthony Laffranchi
13. Mark Minichello

14. Luke O'Dwyer
15. Aaron Cannings
16. Brad Meyers
17. Gavin Cooper

yeh walker basically earned his spot
off season training with the titans squard should do him good
we need another center, maybe walker, dont know but dont like delaney there
