I want to tell you what I’ve liked most about Garth Brennan so far. It’s not that:
-We have a winning record
-We are playing an attractive and exciting brand of football
-He stuck with our young halves pairing after a rough start to the year.
-He actually got a win against Brisbane in Brisbane!!
-He is allowing the forwards that are the future of our club the chance to show what they’re worth

All of those things are outstanding and I’m a very pleased fan right now.

No, the thing that has me most pleased is the fact that he came here with a plan to use Latu as a starter and Cartwright as a middle forward and when it was clear that that was not gonna cut it he changed things up to better suit the team. He could have easily dug his heels in and said ‘all they need is some time’ and a lot of people would have agreed.

But he didn’t.

He saw his original plan was not ideal and changed to something better.

It sent a message to Latu (no free rides here).

It sent a message to Cartwright (you can’t blame Griffin or off field dramas, you just need to be better).

And it sent a message to EVERY OTHER TITAN. If he’ll drop the guys he brought here he’ll drop us if we don’t perform.

I’m all in behind this years team and am excited for every week to come. Bring it on.
