Titans 20's struggling

[titanstattman]

ok sure mate everyone knows your the man and you know everything, i have already dropped it but it looks like some people can't drop stupid subjects like you, this is a forum not a debate center.

Thats right so if u going to say sumthing like that be willing to add why in this case "U DONT CARE".

That u still have come up with a reason...

I will say i dont know everything but u are right i am the man.......

is ryan tongia injured this week, didn't see him in starting XIII, i saw him at storm game and he is a beast

[isaiah]

need to call up some of their contracted 20's from the burleigh colts side who had a good win v one of the top teams, easts, yesterday.

just try a few, see if they are up to the rise in class

[isaiah]

unlike last year, the club did have a hard early season draw in this comp. i said elsewhere that they might only win 2 of their first 7 games.

[isaiah]

I do & that is a Stupid comment to make :boo:

As Doug said Mead & Gordon are both from the 20's & add Bodene Thompson & Will Mathews to the list.

Having our 20's without Ben Ridge,Dom Walsh,Ryan James, Cody Walker injured & Ronnie Alovilli suspended it would be hard for any team to play anywhere near their best ....could u imagine our 1st grade team running out on the field without Bailey,Laffranchi,Minni,Taga & Prince....we would get smacked by the Sharks

just a couple of mistakes here- mead has never played 20's and ridge is now too old

You need to do your homework a little better. The following article will explain it for you.

Moore is no more after name change

Pat McLeod | December 23rd, 2008

SENSATIONAL Titans rookie David Moore is no more.

The 20-year-old who made a name for himself with an outstanding World Cup tournament for Papua New Guinea has decided to change his name.

"It is a family thing," the quiet youngster explained yesterday.

"Moore was my father's name. But I never knew him. He left when I was born. I decided to take the name of the people who have been my family since I was 12.

"So two weeks ago the paperwork came through. It is official, my name is David Mead."

The talented winger has been on the Titans radar for some years, but came to prominence this year with the club's Toyota Cup team. He impressed enough with his speed and ball skills to be selected for the PNG team in the rugby league World Cup.

Now he has his sights set on a Titans first grade call-up in 2009.

In the middle of this hectic sporting growth, Mead was also battling with an identity he wasn't comfortable with.

"I was born in Port Moresby and was given my father's name," he said.

"But I never knew him and spent those early years with my mother, Helen. When I was 12 my mother's sister and her husband, Kila and Steven Mead, moved to Lismore, Australia, and I came with them.

"I basically grew up with them and they have been my parents.

"They are the people I call mum and dad.

"For a number of years I have wanted to change my name, but for one reason or another it didn't happen.

"But when I got the paperwork the other week I rang them. They were really happy."

Mead said he still has a very close relationship with his biological mother and talks to her often.

"I am lucky, I suppose, that I have two people I call mum and am close to them both."

With his identity now settled, Mead is determined to claim a wing spot with the Titans, one of the most competitive positions in the club.

The Gold Coast have a glut of talent on the flanks and the former rugby union player knows he has a battle ahead to make his NRL debut.

"It will be tough, but I am determined to work hard at training and just do my best," he said.

"The aim in 2009 is to make my NRL debut and all I can do is work hard towards that."

The Titans squad will train this morning before taking a Christmas break until January 5.

Kingi is too old for the 20's and plays with our feeder club Tweed. Although he has been missing for the past 2 weeks so unsure if he is injured or dropped.

Pattison's team struggling 4th last on ladder. Any solutions on offer?

Yeah get rid of Pattison. Sorry, he's obviously a great school boys coach but these are young men graduating into manhood wanting to play in a mans game. The time for school is over, the time for school teachers are over. A mentor for these young men needs to be able to offer them more than what they have already learned! I think they have gone backwards instead of forwards in there development.

[isaiah]

maybe the development needs to go a bit further than a few local high schools and the northern rivers.
they have been looking weaker and weaker each season on paper

Don't you mean ONE local high school mate? Gonna have to work on the field placements too by the look of things, gave up another half century to the Knights today. I also agree with a couple of comments on other threads in this forum. They're not playing in the 20 minute each way Arrive Alive Cup so they more than likely need a football coach, not a volunteer school teacher running the show and while he's potentially an absolute superstar, I don't think the addition of one player in Ryan James is gonna turn a whole team's season around, I genuinely hope I'm wrong.

Went and watched the Vikings Under 20's play the Brisbane 20's at Galleon Way today. Terrific performance by a very very well coached football team. Might do the Titans the world of good to have a good look in their own backyard before anywhere else. What was the catch phrase again, 'Buy back the farm?'....maybe have a look around the farm you already have guys
