Round 11: TITANS vs KNIGHTS (2018)

[Menoitios]

Ash's kicking game was aimed at taking Ponga out of contention in the first half. Smart. He will probably do the same in the second. I like Kane as a player, but AJ, only 2 games in.......sorry Kane.

Here's what our long term goal should be; Get as many fit young gold coast women pregnant to Jai Arrow as possible. In 20 years or so....we'd have a team of champions!!!

[DIEHARD]

And Henry calls us lucky for a repeat set.

He has an axe to grind and it is disrespectful and unprofessional to have him inflicted upon us.

Score a sweet try and you are happy about the future, only for the ghost of coaching past to materialise.

Titans should not be letting this happen. After the game I'm going to check how many times he has been put on our games.

[Menoitios]

15 missed tackles, ouch.

That's what I said earlier. Our defensive coach firstly, and then the players need a rocket up them! We'll be a force to be reckoned with once we get staunch in defence!

I mean I get that, but there's more to taking control of a game than just kicking it out to take the opposing fullback out of the game.

How cruel are fox? They seem to get Henry to call all of our games. LOL!

Also pests makes a huge difference to our attack, rein is good running out of dummy half but peats' control and direction from dummy half helps ash out slot guiding the team around

[DIEHARD]

Also why does Henry have to be there everytime we play? what does it offer?

Someone on twitter replied to me "It’s next level trolling is what it is"

Spot on. Rein a good runner of the footy from 9, but a dummy half needs to do so much more to help steer the team around and that's exactly what Peats does. Not to mention his defence which has been solid.

That really pissed me off.

Agreed. In this day and age you need a halves pairing that compliment each other and the team. That's what Garth was trying to do with the Can'tright experiment. The number 6 or 7 on your back means nothing now days. One needs to do the hard yards and one needs to instigate. Kane and Ash are similar players IMO. AJ is different. He's not afraid to run the ball and do the tough stuff.

They're only a game and a half into their partnership. Give them time and they'll dominate behind a young and aggressive forward pack.

Defence is my biggest concern.

Um WTactualF

[DIEHARD]

Bull**** sin bin. Now we are in trouble. Knights in immediately.

[5 Year Contract]

If someone wants to tel me how you have a more absolute rat **** start to a half im all ears. Deadset moe that was his 3rd dumb penalty

[Ronny]

Did they get a warning? The Penrith game the ref game them 4 penalties and a warning before the sin bin! Seems a bit inconsistent but hey its NRL ref's. Can't expect much

We did in the first half whilst inside the 10!

It's like they get bonuses for sin bins this year.
