We've lost to teams below us on the ladder all year and nothings happened. If we I would expect the owners to make a public comment. If we lose I would expect that next years membership will be solely filled with people who have the auto renew on and have passed away.
Back on Arthars; he won’t get that defensive steel in QCup. If we don’t have a working option then we should be blooding Youth.

Brimson named fullback
Only because Gordon is out for a week
Peachey and Kelly still in the Centres so Kelly will once again play the wrong side
Proctor still selected so Cartwright will be on the wrong side
Mo is starting I don’t mind that
It doesn’t matter that much actually to me his selections at the moment
I want to see an NRL level effort intensity discipline and passion from these money collectors
What's wrong with Gordon?

Veteran fullback Michael Gordon has a leg injury and his place is taken by AJ Brimson, who shifts from five-eighth to the No.1. Tyrone Roberts returns from concussion at five-eighth. In the pack, Shannon Boyd has been named on the bench and Moeaki Fotuaika in the starting side. Boyd left the field for an HIA against the Sharks last week and did not return so the Titans will be monitoring his progress. Jesse Arthars retains his spot on the bench after debuting last week.
If garth cant see that aj needs to be starting fullback by now then im beginning to get worried. I expect this team to absolutely fire this weekend.
I don’t like not having a proper goalkicker. Taylor and Roberts are well below average. If the squad really want Brennan rissoled they will turn it up this week.
This thread on Saturday Evening will go into full nuclear meltdown if we lose.
It seems like we have finally had some luck with injuries. AJ in for Gordon, why couldn't this have come sooner. Now for Copley to go down again so Arthars can cement his spot on the wing. I'm surprised (all be-it pleasantly) that Boyd was benched. Hopefully he can provide some impact now.
Matthew's name is getting closer and closer to that 17...
Cant wait for copley to come in and out of the line again. Points all day for the bulldogs. FFS
The lack of respect that we have around the league would have to be close to an all time high. On the Matty Johns podcast they called this the battle for the spoon, and Matty, Paul Kent and Brett Finch all tipped the Dogs. Their roster and in particular their spine is reserve grade standard, and yet we still aren't given a chance. If Brennan can't produce a win this week then he is simply not the man for this job.

Oh and how does Stockwell find his way into the 17? He ran for 32m last week, and made 11 tackles with 1 missed. The bloke provides no impact at all, whereas Whitbread looks like Arrow 2.0. I guess it helps to be married to the coach's niece.
I don't have too much of a problem with Stockwell but I do with Proctor ... that's where Whitbread should get his chance, imho.
