    The editors must have been busy then. When I checked Facebook earlier in the week it was full of anti Cartwright posts.

    That's ok longull, i may be a bit over dramatic, but I'm strong believer that this coach is making bad choices in player selection

    Hi guys.

    Haven't posted much lately. I just don't have the energy for it anymore, the team has sapped me of my enthusiasm. I'll be at the game against the Storm - as I always am but I do not expect to see anything other than a very poor spectacle. The Storm are decimated and are travelling on the back of two 20 point plus thrashings. It is an unloseable game (that's a word now!) and I am already feeling sick over the way the inevitable win will be fawned over.

    It is embarrassing but I am at the point where I really want us to bottom out completely so that we get the institutional change that we all crave.

    It is important that we maintain the high moral ground however. This thread is not a good look. There are obviously factions within the Titans fans but I believe it is unbecoming to engage them in meaningless banter. The name calling is even worse than school yard behaviour - it is the sort of rubbish I would expect from a politician!! (Sorry DH - I had to...)

    I have made contact with Travis Meyn to ask about the way that he is covering the Titans in his paper but I am yet to get a reply. (On his Twitter account he actually describes himself as a Carlton Blues Tragic so he can't be what I would look for in a 'Chief Rugby League Writer'.) I think we should be using the increased access to people that technology allows us to begin lobbying for a more critical appraisal of the team in the media.

    No more praising 'gritty wins'.

    No more falling back on injuries as an excuse - they happen it is a part of the fabric of Rugby League.

    No more turning a blind eye to continued errors.

    Let's all start with Travis Badel and Emma Greenwood (Gold Coast Bulletin) and go from there. Their emails and twitter accounts are easily accessible - just tell them that as a season ticket holder you have had enough and that you want them to use their position to make the teams administration accountable.

    Mate. Well said. You have raised so very good points for people to go away and think about. Are we going to whinge about change or try to do something about it ?

    Not sure how I will start but I'm going to start. We need to start doing rather that talking.

    Good post, and I think everyone agrees with what you have said, but the simple fact is we need a leader/spokesperson to unite and lead the masses. It must be someone who has a level head, can support an argument with facts and is diplomatic. Many have the passion, but as you have said, there is a moral side to this, and the fact is we are talking about peoples livelihoods and careers, so it must be treated with some respect and understanding while also being firm.

    So, for the sake of clearing up forum threads, lets make a thread for those who are interested in actually being involved to take the campagin public, and we can discuss/organise this issue in there.

    If someone could get together the names and emails of keys people to email about our concerns I would be happy to email also. Probably the emails of the board members, the CEO, the key people in the papers.... and anyone else who has influence. I will just cc them all in on my one email. If we all do this it surely will put pressure on the establishment to get rid of Cartwright.

    For me, if we want to be heard and make a real statement, take the message to the business leaders on the "board". I am 100% certain that a rally outside the Frizelle dealership would be news worthy, and would get instant attention from Rebecca Frizelle.

    I've made a new thread to discuss this.

    I've just realised that Ryan James must be at the very very bottom of our front row pecking order if even Caleb Binge who has played 3 games of cup after 20s last year is being considered ahead of him.

    Has anyone seen James play in cup recently? Any gauge on how hes going?

    He's injured, his defensive work rate seems high but his shoulder is injured.. Exact same situation as will Matthews was in if anyone remembers his shoulder injury.. Even in his injured state still 5x the player binge is.. I've heard they made him play injured against the rabbitohs, I've also heard that he says he's right but isn't.. We won't find out till it comes from either the club or him but it will be a nasty look for the club if it comes to light he's being forced to play with a bad shoulder..

    AAAAAAAAARGH.....!!

    Corey Parker out of Origin 2 with an fractured eye socket, replaced by Dave Taylor. This is great news for Big Dave but it is bad news for our chances v the Storm and it is a shocking blow to my SuperCoach team that was relying on him playing through the Origin period.

    Maybe now, however, we get to see Taka move into the pack and Roberts gets a starting spot.

    Storm TV: Hinchcliffe to captain

    <script height="349px" width="620px" src="http://player.ooyala.com/iframe.js#ec=N3OXY4bjowcKUhSMjeslM8JgiDJL_S3W&pbid =fd5fc71d2bcc4b60a622cf8d3348d605"></script>

    Ryan Hinchcliffe will captain Storm on Monday night on the Gold Coast. He spoke to Storm TV about the honour on Wednesday.

    "I'm very happy and proud that I will be able to lead the boys out this weekend," Hinchcliffe said.

    "We are going through a little bit of a tough period but there is one way out of it and that is to work our way out of it.

    "It's a huge honour, it's a very proud club."

    Be at AAMI Park in Round 15 when Storm take on the Eels. Book your tickets here.
    A member of Craig Bellamy's leadership group over the last few seasons, Hinchcliffe is confident the club's young brigade will take their chance.

    "It's exciting for those younger guys, it's exciting for our club to see the young talent that we have coming through," Hinchcliffe said.

    "I think the young guys that we have had in there have been doing a good job.

    "There is some real youth coming through our system at the moment and hopefully all the Storm fans get to see a few more."

    Boost for the Maroons, bad news for us.
