Round 2 2013: TITANS vs RAIDERS

[Titanic]

deserved that Takairangi ... pity

[Rage]

Ahh, why must they keep teasing me with the 40 points

[Titanic]

Zillman honestly

[Hail Sezer]

That was so lazy from DT. Keeping them to 0 would be great, can we do it?

[Hail Sezer]

Kelly has saved 2 tries so far

[kwigibo]

do they deliberately not want to break 40? Is there some sort of mummy's curse, will the dead start crawling out of the earth were they to ever cross the mark, and it's their duty to keep them at bay?

[Titanic]

good win ... a lot of positives but there were three in the 17 who were not up to it and when the team plays well then it is increasingly more obvious ... bring on the debate

ps. Teke, if we can't score 40 in a situation like that then we are doomed to the 30's.

[Julius Sezer]

Teke nearly pulled off the bet. Good stuff Titans!

[Mr Stupid]

Do you guys know how hot it is here..great effort.

As good as it was seeing us score some try's, yet again the most impressive thing about our team was the defense. For round 2 it was a massive defensive effort. Best 80 min defensive display in the comp so far. James, Kelly and Bird were my top 3, but it was a real team performance today, and everyone had some good touches.

Still think we need a decent fullback to be a real threat. Yes zilly had two good line breaks, but he bombed atleast 3 try's that any other #1 in the comp (except maybe 1 or 2) would have put away. He is a weak link imo.

Gordon still looks to be a few weeks behind everyone else.. his speed does seem to have diminished, and his timing in attack looks to be a bit off - but he got through a ton of work today, scored a sitter and i have no doubt he will come good in a few rounds.

Loving our new halves combination. What a breath of fresh Kelly has been. Hope they stay fit and play together for years to come.

Just means they need more Conditioning Training. Afterall they're a team that resides in Queensland. Send them out the back of Cunnamulla for training this week.

Nah, great win at home. Considering how poorly the Raiders played, the lads should've been able to cross over for the 40 at least. But that wasn't the priority for me today. To hold them out for the entire 80 minutes was what I was hanging out for, 'n not have any lapse in our defense that would allowed them over. We lost a handful of games last year because of a lapse in our defense, when the Lads tire.

Not sure why Falloon gets the time that he does, as it's definitely a game changer when he takes to the paddock, and we seem to lose momentum. Only positive I can see, is to give Srama a rest from his intensive work rate.

But yeah, plenty of positives to draw on today in general. Though we're gunna need to step it up some when we come up against the Top 4 teams, later this year (Storm, Cowboys, Doggies 'n Bunnies).

[Smakked]

Good effort today but man it was hot, 42 out in the middle they were saying , in the sun, so i can forgive late errors

[Hail Sezer]

Obviously happy with the win but the thing that did it for me was that the Raiders were kept to 0. Alby showed some heart in getting back in defence on multiple occasions and we looked dangerous every time either him or Sezer got the ball.

Bring on Manly.

[hammer]

Really impressed with our defence and it was brutal at stages...love the form of Ridge and Bird throughout this game and our halves are building! The heat was a major factor in this result...it will be nothing like this next week against Manly!
Disappointing crowd numbers but only winning will change this in the short term!

Great defence today, thought Ryan James was great as was Albert Kelly. Another quick one, thought Jamal had has best game as a Titan, great pass for the try and some very good reads in defence.
