    i really think(besides our horrible set pieces with forwards just hitting it up and our backline always flat) that we are just not playing with either heart or confidence or both, think back to last year, noone wanted a run at our last line of defense and it was the 3rd best defense in our comp and other teams were worried when we in their 20, now its a complete contrast. maybe we just need a different game plan idk.

    Thinking back to last year Titans were seen as over achieving now this year they are seen as underachieving. Could be a good sign coming into the semis as we might do the opposite of what we did last year.

    Did anyone see Kevin Lockes collision with the upright today, dam that looked nasty and had me cringing in my chair.

    Gee ... sometimes being a fan sucks. I posted this in another forum but it's just as applicable here ... yes, it's my frustration but:

    How long are we going to accept mediocrity from our team?

    It's all well and good to be politically correct and most modern in our persona but that has to transfer into some form on the field.

    Errors, errors, juvenile errors cannot continue to be rewarded with selection each week.

    We are just beating ourselves, week in week out, in all senses of the word.

    I agree, I'm not sure if Carty is tough enough sometimes, not with his select crew. He dropped Zillman for a week or two, and look how well he returned.

    He was more than tough with Esi last year, but accepts garbage from others week in week out.

    In saying that it was hard to pinpoint a problem player, I think Chaos hit it on the head, they just don't know what to do.
    They need to learn to be aggressively patient.

    I think Coaster is correct, we need to be more ruthless in selection. Zillman has been great since he has returned and it was a shame that we had to move him to the wing. And hopefully Esi returns soon.

    It's so frustrating, we always seem to lose the games we should canter in on paper. If you looked back at it all, we would have lost a great deal of these match ups. I can hack losing to a better team, but hate being ambushed.

    And once again an opposition team bounced back from a poor performance the week before.

    Alot of the Knights points came against play, their converting was great and also got the run with the refs and scored off a forward pass.

    We had more metres gained, more completed sets and more possession. And we still failed to win!

    But hey... at least we aren't England soccer fans who just got thumped 4-1 and at least we aren't suffering Cowboys fans (We better be careful or theyll ambush us, again and they did it in late 2009 as well). Up 18 nil at half time and losing to Cronulla. Heartbreaking. It was in Townsville as well.

    The Roosters vs Warriors game looked amazing, Locke is a champion, he didn't hestitate to score that try. All he saw was ball and try line, the post was relevant to him. I hope he doesn't suffer an injury that keeps him out. Bu the Kiwi Rugby League fans who attended in Christchurch were sure treated to a great game.

    Back to our game, very disapponted with the crowd. I can't accept crowds under 15k. Especially on a Sunday afternoon, in Women In League Round and also with a fantastic $40.00 Family Ticket offer on the table. Maybe we didn't do enough to promote it. Maybe we need to have better form along with the absence of Princey. It's a given the footy is expensive, just had to see any sub 15k crowds.

    The next home game is the BRONCOS, so it doesn't get any easier, it's red alert. Hopefully we can rest up over the BYE and take out the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown and get our season back on the road.

    Gidley inspires Knights' win over Titans

    No disrespect intended, but Newcastle Knights coach Rick Stone is set to become rugby league's "worst judge in the world".

    After watching Kurt Gidley inspire Newcastle's 24-16 NRL upset over the Gold Coast Titans at Skilled Park on Sunday, Stone launched a passionate case for his Knights skipper to be retained as NSW Origin captain.

    "I thought the skipper at the back was outstanding. He was probably the difference in the game to be honest," he said of his fullback.

    "If he's not NSW captain and fullback I am the worst judge in the world."

    But it appears Stone's words will fall on deaf ears.

    After copping heat for making Gidley the first NSW skipper in Origin history to start on the bench in game two, Blues selectors are tipped to hand the reins to Cronulla veteran Trent Barrett in his interstate swansong.

    Not only will Gidley not be starting No.1, he is again expected to be retained on the Blues bench when the Origin III side is named on Monday night.

    But if Gidley was sweating on the announcement, it didn't show on Sunday.

    Indeed NSW selectors would be forgiven for having second thoughts about benching Gidley after his inspirational hand on Sunday.

    Apart from four crunch conversion kicks - including two from the sideline - Gidley seemed to be in everything as the Knights kicked on from their 18-12 halftime lead.

    If there were any doubts about man of the match honours, they evaporated in the final 10 minutes when Gidley cut down a rampant Brad Meyers - one of three try saving tackles.

    Gidley's heroics were typified by taking down Meyers - all 190cm, 103kg of him - just metres from the line.

    Meyers is big enough - but add his flowing red locks and woolly beard and the frontrower is a fearsome sight indeed.

    "He's a pretty scary guy when he's coming through the line, but it's part of my job to tackle him," Gidley said.

    Asked about the NSW captaincy, Gidley said: "I haven't thought about it until that last game.

    "It would be nice to be named just to start with," he said.

    "I will be relaxed until the team is named on Monday night and see what happens from there."

    Gidley admitted he relished his time on the paddock following a nightmare time off it dealing with the fallout over the sensational departure from NSW Origin II camp of good friends Timana Tahu and Andrew Johns.

    "It's good to come back from a tough couple of weeks like that and into a footy team who are a good bunch of blokes - that's the reason you play the game," Gidley said.

    The four-tries-to-three victory kept the Knights (6-9 record) in the finals hunt.

    But Titans coach John Cartwright was not a happy camper after the Gold Coast (9-6) missed a chance to jump into outright third.

    Adding injury to insult, winger David Mead (knee) and centre Sam Tagataese (shoulder) went down in the first half and didn't return.

    "It's just disappointing because there was an opportunity to skip clear of a pack chasing us," Cartwright said

    Knights shock Princeless Titans

    The two faces of Greg Bird were on display as the Gold Coast Titans went down to the Newcastle Knights 24-16 at Skilled Park.

    A week after slotting the winning field goal against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium, Bird had a mixed day at the office against the resurgent Knights.

    The off-season recruit constructed the first two Titans tries, but also erred several times as the Knights struck back.

    With the win, the Knights logged back-to-back victories for the first time this season after last week?s 6-4 result against the visiting Eels.

    It cost Gold Coast a chance to jump the Tigers into third spot on the ladder behind the Dragons and Panthers.

    The Titans have the bye next week and will be sweating on the return of skipper Scott Prince, who followed the action from the stands after suffering a hamstring injury against the Bulldogs.

    His poise around the ruck and kicking game were sorely missed today, as Bird and Preston Campbell took control in the halves.

    The Titans started the game strong until a Bird intercept pass let the Knights off the hook as they defended their own line. A play later second rower Zeb Taia waltzed through a gap from 10m out to open the scoring.

    The former Sharks pivot atoned for his mistake 11 minutes later when he picked up the ball in broken play and turned lock Ashley Harrison inside for the home side?s first try.

    The Titans took the lead nine minutes later when replacement forward Brad Meyers scored a rare four pointer just seconds after replacing Michael Henderson. Again Bird was in the thick of the action, taking the ball to the line before rolling a grubber into the in-goal for the red-headed prop to pounce.

    The 13,396 fans in attendance felt an Adam McDougall pass, which put winger James McManus over in the corner, was forward. The referees disagreed and the scores were level at 12-12 after captain Kurt Gidley?s sideline conversion.

    The Titans had a golden chance to seize a halftime lead when Preston Campbell?s kickoff went dead. However a Bird dropped ball again let the visitors out of jail as they covered the length of the field before centre Junior Sa?u crashed over on the left sideline.

    Deputising at the scrum base for injured skipper Scott Prince, Campbell put fullback William Zillman away in the corner 12 minutes after the break.

    With 13 minutes to play, the Knights went out to a 24-16 lead after replacement back Wes Naiqama brushed aside Bird and then flattened Campbell on his way to the line.

    Centre Mat Rogers kicked 2/3 for the Titans, who next face the Tigers at Campbelltown on July 9.

    The difference between the two teams was just an inspiring game by Gidley and a mediocre game by Preston, Friend and Bird.
    It happens sometimes.

    And let's not forget the incredible refereeing. A thing of beauty for all to ponder.

    True bigjim. Gidley played the house down. Interesting to see if he holds a position in the Blues tonight.

    i think our attack is just wasted efforts, you see other teams spread the ball in their own half and on 2nd and 3rd tackle, ore attack is flat and we usually waste 3 tackles on hit ups, have you seen the warriors and tigers play, they run to the line and then pass it 3 meters back and they have room to move and the backs are wide, the broncos do it all the time too, and we need dragons gritty defense.
