I have told u guys all season and even during the week...teams that go wide on us always get the overlap no matter if its jamal or Dave or don and irwin.

teke couldn't be more right on this...regardless of who's playing there, our right centre and wing have to make the hardest decisions in the Titans defensive line.
I'm surprised we've got away with it for so long...now Bennett has exposed us in this area, will we fix our problem or blame the Idris injury?

[Titanic]

Well, well, well ... what a welcome back home ... nothing to add that hasn't been said ... will have another look during the week and if I can get my face out of my **** then I'll comment ... that was really woefull.

Whilst Anthony Don did make a couple of handling errors I can hardly blame him for having two and three blokes running at him for an entire half.

We put ourselves under pressure through a few handling errors but the game was lost by losing both the kicking game and the defensive line speed. The Knights are either getting awesome sprint training or were able to get the jump on almost every tackle. Their defence was in our faces the whole game and we let them run at us. We didn't get up quick enough even off our goal line which accounted for their field position and the ease of their first half tries.

Previously we had been getting flanked easily until both Idris and Takairangi had plugged our issues. I hope we get a better solution than Steve Michaels. We really need to win against the Panthers this week as our run into the finals will get increasingly more difficult. I know Rankin has been out with a shoulder but if he is available I'd be bringing him into fullback and playing Zillman at left centre and Mead on the right. Don should not be sent packing for one poor performance.

For the next match
1. Jordan Rankin
2. Kevin Gordon
3. William Zillman
4. David Mead
5. Anthony Don

I think this is the best option right now. Rankin is playing well in QLD Cup so might as well take advantage of that now. It will be interesting what Carty does.

I dont think it was entirely Don's fault for leaking the tries. His inside men kept leaving him isolated.

Is the voting going to happen at all? lol
