So you are happy with way Boyd is being used. But you right it isn't under 10's. They play more minutes.

He can't play hooker. At this stage he can barely play centre. He's a centre/half/fullback.
Check out the press conference.

I'm thoroughly confused.
Everyone at the club always seems to make excuses and accept mediocrity, we've got two quality centres, a half who should be next in line for Qld, and some rep forwards, we should be a top 8 side or atleast play consistent footy, and execute the basics, why have we never been able to do the simple things like run hard and tackle??

Personally id rather him off the bench for the last 15mins of first half and play first 20mins of second. A man with hs lateral movement and motor is not someone you want closing out a game for you in my opinion. But he did make that tackle out wide in the dying stages off a cows half break and i think hes been going alright last 2 weeks. Everyone sees things differently though mate no hard feelings
All I know is that Brimson proved his worth at fullback....again. I don't know how many times Brennan has to see this to permanently make the switch. BLOOD HIM THERE FFS.
If anyone wants to see how a decent coach handles a defeat like that watch Bellamy's press conference from last night.
Brennan's press conference was pathetic. Yes Granville made first contact but Sami doing that was just stupid and it was so unnecessary. There is no point in arguing with the refs about it because nothing can change now. Discipline Sami and demand better. That second point that he was arguing about was even worse. Cooper didn't even go into the line, he stopped well before it and affected no one. That happens all the time in general play and certainly didn't have an impact on the Cows scoring that try. Talk about diverting the blame rather than owning up to the teams mistakes. The ref's will never give us the rub of the green when we keep giving away stupid penalties. We are the most penalised team in the comp so fix it.
Brennan looks like a desperate man. His pride is getting in the way of him making the tough calls that he said he would do. How many times has he said that he won't rush AJ into first grade, even though he is the obvious choice and is clearly up for playing at that level.
I agree that Boyd needs to go on the bench and provide impact. Start Max King and give him a chance. Start some of these outside backs that haven't been given a crack, we already know what Copley, Lee and Sami can do - not much. Peachey and Cartwright are playing out of position and I can't help thinking that Brennan has made promises to them about having those positions, but they aren't performing. Just try something new Brennan - I'd take anything right now. The game plan with the players that are on the field just isn't working.
Agree about Bellamy but he can do that. He has the team and the profile to take the high ground. Brennan is on the brink and the blokes he backed-in aren’t exactly returning the favor. I just watched the game again and in fairness if Brimson had started and Kelly and Cartwright minus Proctor had played in position we would have won that.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Only thing that I liked about the game was that we had set plays that executed well and the attack was showing a glimmer of hope. That is all.

I reckon we field a team like this for the Sharks game:
1. Brimson
2. Don
3. Kelly
4. Peachey
5. Arthars
6. Roberts
7. Taylor
8. Wallace
9. Rein
10. King
11. Hipgrave
12. Cartwright
13. Arrow
14. Fotuaika
15. Boyd
16. Whitbread
17. Stockwell
It amazes me that Proctor is still getting a starting spot every week. You’ve only got to look at the Knights game (where he didn’t play) to see how much better we go without him. On top of that, putting players in positions that they actually favour will surely make a difference. I like Gordon, but no one can deny the impact that AJ brings to the team. He really lights a fire under everyone when he takes the field. If there was ever a time to try something new with the team, nows that time.
I like that team as well Dobes but I think I'd try Proctor on the left edge before dropping him all together. Him and Ash just aren't gelling so perhaps he would run better of Roberts. Also he could stiffen that troublesome left edge defence.
I like Hipgrave's enthusiasm from the bench as well so he would take Stockwell's place.
NRL acknowledges two calls that went against us were wrong, being that Granville contacted Sami first and that the Hampton try should have been awarded a no try. SIGH
Rarely see a Titans try that is not referred to the bunker. They seem to be able to nit pick and find a reason that the try should be disallowed. Bunker official Horse Face, on field official Bludger, and Hopeless Henry.
Massive penalty differential in most games and it seems that it is not only opposition teams who have very little respect for us.
