Round 7: Parramatta Eels vs Gold Coast Titans

[gotitans101]

Listening to it on 2GB. By the sounds of it, we've been absolutely hopeless for the first 18 minutes. Plenty of errors & giving away stupid penalties. Moore calling the game a 'mistake-a-thon' so far.

edit: Zilly you hog! PASS THE BALL FFS. Bodene would have been over if he did.

Not hopeless at all!

Refs are having a field day with penalties against us as per usual, but the boys are looking sharp. Bodene was no certainty to go over, but would have been close - Zilly still should have passed it though. Zillman is looking very dangerous every time he gets involved, Prince is giving plenty of variety in attack. Looking good!

were looking good but our ball security is costing us, i hope bird continues the offloads though

You guys shouldn't go giving away anymore spoilers until after 6pm

Few mistakes so far by the Titans, but other than that they have looked good when they have had the ball. As I type this the Titans start to get sloppy and give away a penalty after a forward pass

[titansrawesome]

i think bodene doesnt know how to defend centre good as in his positioning, this has happened a few times this year to him, he doesnt know who to take

In Bodene's defence though Horo did a great job with his decoy run.

i suppose but we really should have man on man defense so there is never overlaps

Loko was right behind Bodene. Would have caught him within 10m.

what the fark i didnt even get to watch it and now its been spoiled

[CairnsTitan]

Spoilers anyone?

Zillman puts Moi Moi on his back and makes him lose the ball!

* And Prince is cooking some pie

Not sure what sort of pie he was cooking but it certainly wasn't humble pie

[Steelers]

Errors! Titans could be up by 30 at the moment if they didn't make an error every 2nd set.

You certainly weren't watching him play then. His cut out pass gave Tonga and Michaels the space to go over for our first try. He put in grubber kicks, bombs, long kicks, cross-field kicks, short passes, cut out passes and only missed one tackle. His kicking game made more meters than Robson's & Mortimer's put together. As a halfback he had a good game, his defense held up and his attack had more variety than the x-mas island detention center.

The penalty count made sure our momentum was taken away where possible. That last penalty against Bodene was absolute bullsh!t - and that's what led to the turnaround.

We made more meters, line breaks, offloads, had all the field possession and conceded the least missed tackles. The error rate and quality of refereeing is what let us down.

Zillman and Bird had a blinder, and I think Zillman has made that position his own. Hard loss to take, but thats footy. Overall I was happy with their performance despite the loss.
