    What a shocking game from us. That period from 60-80 minute killed us. Too many errors and too many penalties conceded.

    Gordon played shocking at fullback. He is close to being a worse defender than Zillman. Offers nothing in attack.

    Don once again played great and deserves to be in the team every week. Absolutely solid.

    Our bench offered nothing. We only used 16 players until the 75th minute. Another masterstroke by Carty

    Taylor played awesome once again and gained the metres. He should keep his spot at centre.

    Overall a **** performance especially in that last 20. It honestly seems that Carty may not be the only problem. For some reason our players look like they don't even want to be playing. However I'm still sticking with #sackCarty.

    Titans games for me has now come down to hoping for opportunistic tries by my fav players like Mead and recently Roberts.

    This was the final nail for sure. In both our season and Carty's tenure. Gordon at fullback (or on the wing) is now no longer our best option. It's good to see Carty has identified one weapon in Dave Taylor, he has to know he as another in James Roberts who should've played fullback with both Zillman and Mead out. Our kicking game was rotten tonight as the Eels kicked us off the park. Mortimer showing his limitations or being coached to kick for the lottery.

    The go forward was ordinary tonight apart from Taylor. We looked very cumbersome going right which isn't a good sign for Morts either. Even Taka looked to get us going on the left better, and hepribanly kicked better than Morts too.

    No idea where to go from here. That was another game we should never have lost. Parra built plenty of pressure while we built none. End of story.

    Geese are the ultimate team players.
    They honk to encourage one another!

    Agree. It seams like they are pulling the club down piece by piece.

    Yet another game with a complete second half fade out. Not too much to like about any of it. Taylor and Taka good early but faded out to and Gordon and mortimer were very poor. Someone should tell Gordon that if you jink about 5 times in 5 metres, by the time you hit the defence you will be travelling at snails pace and will get smashed. Parra looked far more dangerous in attack all night and it was only our scrambling defence that stopped a complete blow out. Roberts looked completely out of his league in defence and they killed us down his side. I read in the paper that we didn't have much money under the cap to buy players - if we are paying up to the cap on that lot, there are far too many players getting overs.
    Useless in attack but why go on as it's all been said before. Over it.

    Proud of my Titans :-) Yes I can see why people say get rid of Carty and things, but COME ON!!!!! And yet another game tonight won by THE REF'S!!!!!!. I mean I don't know if anyone can help me but with the kick that the Eels did that went over the touch line late in the 2nd half, did the Titans player touch the ball when it happened, because if he didn't, you would THINK it SHOULD have been a 20m restart instead of a goal line drop out. back to Parramatta. And I'm sorry but Jarred Hayne is a GRUB!!!!!. With that tackle that he claimed that the TItans dropped the ball, HE KNOCKED IT OUT OF HIS HAND!!!!!!!. Or something like that anyway. TITANS 4EVER!!!!!! Will always support you whether you win or lose :-) And for the people that I know that are going to say 'oh but how can you support such rubbish and mediocrity', well to me that's what a true supporter does :-) We CAN bounce back :-) Maybe not this year, but we CAN bounce back :-) We CAN do it :-)

    The one thing we know for sure after tonight's game is Gordon may be as good as the Turd package at wearing the no1 but neither should wear it when Mead us in the side, Gordon was a joke tonight just like his coach...another Master Class handed to the Coachless Titans by Hayne , u can have Slater I'll take Hayne...

    Birds 1st half Defence probably saved us 12 points but his one miss in the 2nd half was quickly found out & Hayne made Gordon look like a winger playing fullback...

    Well done Roberts,Don,Mortimer,Bird & maybe Douglas but a big thanks to Fartwright for giving the Titans the wonderful record of 7 consecutive defeats on home soil in a Row , now please fall on your sword so the GC can prepare for next season

    Hayne double inspires Eels triumph
    By Tony Webeck, Chief Queensland Correspondent
    NRL.com
    7:39pm Sat 26th July, 2014


    A three-try burst in the space of 13 minutes from a Jarryd Hayne-inspired Parramatta has kept the Eels' slim finals hopes alive while at the same time sounding the death knell on a Titans season once again let down by a poor showing at home.

    More than 14,000 fans converged on Cbus Super Stadium for the die-or-die encounter but it was those wearing a deeper shade of blue and gold who walked away with belief intact for at least one more week after Hayne turned the game on its head and the Eels triumphed 24-18.

    The late inclusions of Will Hopoate, Tim Mannah and Ken Sio gave Parramatta a significant bonus in personnel but it was the sheer brilliance of Hayne and the controlled kicking game of halfback Chris Sandow that always made the Eels look the team more likely.

    Hayne's first try was a pure solo effort in the 54th minute when he pushed off on the outside of Titans lock Greg Bird 60 metres from the tryline and then put an in-and-away on fullback Kevin Gordon to score in the south-west corner, Sandow's conversion levelling scores at 12 apiece.

    Six minutes later and on the back of a penalty for a shepherd by James Roberts, the Eels went deep into Titans territory and two tackles into the set Hayne speared through on a Sandow pass to put his side in front for the first time.

    Hayne was at it again in the 69th minute when he instigated another Eels raid with a scything run from deep in his own half, with a grubber from Sandow behind the uprights being spilled by Mortimer and pounced on by Corey Norman.

    Roberts added to his own personal highlights reel with a long-range try in the final minute of the game but it was too little, too late for a side that has now won just two games from 10 at home this season.

    Although they were first to score in the fifth minute the Titans could credit their gritty defence for an 8-6 half-time advantage after the Eels dominated much of the territory and possession for the majority of the half.

    New South Wales Origin rep Will Hopoate was a late inclusion for the Eels but it didn't take long before he was introduced to the runaway 'Coal Train' when a superb cut-out pass from makeshift five-eighth Brad Takairangi found his makeshift centre in Dave Taylor in wide open space close to the Parramatta line for an early shot across the bow.

    Titans makeshift goal-kicker Kevin Gordon added the extras but the Eels soon gained the ascendancy with Sandow and Hayne challenging the Titans defence and earning numerous back-to-back sets.

    In the 15th minute the Eels wasted an attacking opportunity with a fifth set in succession in the Titans' half but even though the home side's defence was holding strong, a poor kicking game at the other end kept inviting the Eels to try their hand.

    Eventually Sandow found a way through in the 19th minute when he held off on a face-ball that hit an unmarked Ken Sio on the wing and the try was awarded despite the suggestion that Sandow had gone behind lead runner Tepai Moeroa in the lead-up.

    In the 30th minute the Eels were at it again and when a cross-field kick from Norman was spilled by Ryan Morgan and then grounded by Kenny Edwards the video referee was called upon, confirming the on-field decision of no try.

    Two minutes later Semi Radradra wasted a wonderful chance to put his side in front when he failed to grasp a cut-out pass from Edwards with only 88-kilogram Gordon between him and the tryline with possession eventually turning to give the Titans a shot to add to their tally.

    Kalifa Faifai Loa looked certain to score in the 35th minute before he was held up in an extraordinary effort from Hopoate, and then two minutes before half-time Gordon gave the Titans a two-point lead with a penalty goal after a strip on Taylor just 10 metres from the Parramatta tryline.

    The Titans extended their half-time advantage when half Daniel Mortimer finally got a kick to land on the spot in the 50th minute when a cross-field chip on the third tackle found an unmarked Anthony Don who grounded the ball just inside the dead-ball line.

    Although the Titans' makeshift halves, centre and fullback were doing enough to keep their side in front and their defence had absorbed a mountain of pressure in the first 40 minutes, when Hayne put his foot down he proved once again that there are few who can go with him.

    Parramatta Eels 24 (Jarryd Hayne 2, Ken Sio, Corey Norman tries; Chris Sandow 4 goals) def. Gold Coast Titans 18 (Dave Taylor, Anthony Don, James Roberts tries; Kevin Gordon 2, Anthony Don goals). Crowd: 14,175. Half-time: 8-6 Titans.

    Cartwright: 'He's just that good'
    By Tony Webeck, Chief Queensland Correspondent
    NRL.com
    10:10pm Sat 26th July, 2014


    He may have single-handedly put paid to the Titans' prospects of playing semi-final football in 2014 but Gold Coast coach John Cartwright has lauded the two-try display of Eels superstar Jarryd Hayne in Parramatta's 24-18 win on Saturday evening.

    The Titans' record at home fell to a dismal 2-8 this season despite Cartwright taking the team into camp on Friday night, their best-laid plans brought undone by a Hayne performance that yielded two tries, three line breaks and 229 running metres.

    "It wasn't a lack of effort that cost us the game; it was the brilliance of Jarryd Hayne that cost us the game," Cartwright lamented.

    "They did a good job on him up until that point and then two or three bits of brilliance and he took the game away from us.

    "He's just that good. There are few players in the game that can do that and he's one of them. We were aware of it and that's what makes them even better.

    "They did a great job on him bar three or four occasions and he was good enough to take advantage of it and took the win away from us.

    "There was a lot of effort there, the difference in the game was Jarryd Hayne.

    While reaffirming their commitment to continue to fight for a finals spot until it becomes a mathematical impossibility, Cartwright conceded their poor kicking game at present is putting greater pressure on their defence.

    Although a Daniel Mortimer kick led directly to a try for Anthony Don that gave the Titans a 12-6 advantage 10 minutes into the second half, he and makeshift five-eighth Brad Takairangi were unable to earn their side a repeat set for the entire 80 minutes having only produced one the week before against the Knights.

    First-choice No.6 Aidan Sezer is awaiting medical clearance before he is able to return from a pectoral injury but the desperate nature of the situation ahead of next Saturday's clash with the Cowboys may force Cartwright to at least ask the question.

    "It's a medical decision. When he's medically right... We're missing his kicking game, big time, Cartwright admitted. "We're getting up into good positions to kick the ball and we're not making them work hard enough on the back of our kicking game.

    "The first half, we got not a lot of help with penalties and when a side's playing well – and they were completing pretty high – you've got to rely on your short kicking game or to get some penalties to get some decent ball so we didn't get a lot of decent ball and the decent ball we did get we come up with points.

    "When a bit of fatigue set in, that's when you notice it. Guys that aren't used to playing in those positions, when the fatigue sets in the football goes a little bit out the window and they start to play a little bit one-out. It was our doing, we turned over too many balls in a short period of time and they made us pay.

    "Obviously we're going to have to turn things around in terms of tight games and winning games but no one's giving up, I can guarantee you that."

    I thought this was going to be a roast of Farkedwright not some sycophantic blow up his ar$e. Yep, I've watched it all now and all I can say is C'mon Cowboys!
