Got my tickets yay..
Got my tickets yay..
I wonder how many tickets left?
Titans sent an email stating that due to the tech issues this morning the ticket availability has been extended until 5pm tomorrow. So obviously still available.
Despite our position and the trip up to Brisbane I would hope the members would buy up. I'm going because I haven't been to a live game this season, like most, and just want to yell at someone.
Should be clear to the club if we can't get 2000 people to the game after covid then don't ever take games to Suncorp
If the fact that if we win this game we go above the broncos doesn't inspire the boys to a win I don't know what will...
War of words over Dufty heating up. Here's hoping Holbrook uses it as motivation for the troops. Could make a big statement about the direction the club is heading in if we wipe the floor with them tomorrow.

Titans coach Justin Holbrook has fired back at Dragons rival Paul McGregor’s brutal sledge by claiming he never wanted to sign St George Illawarra fullback Matt Dufty.
Dufty revealed McGregor challenged him to fire for the Dragons after being linked with an immediate move to the Gold Coast.
“The coach said if (the rumour) is true, you can go and play 20 games a year for the Titans if you want or you can play 20 games here by forcing yourself to get picked every week and play the rest of the season,” Dufty said after the Dragons’ drought-breaking win against Cronulla.
The comment went down like a lead-balloon at the last-placed Titans given it came from a coach fighting for his future in the NRL at a club running 14th.
The Titans will host the Dragons at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday afternoon in what will be Tigers recruit Corey Thompson’s first game for the Gold Coast.
Holbrook said Thompson was the only fullback the Titans wanted to sign.
“I did see that, it was interesting because I’m not sure he (Dufty) had the opportunity to make that decision,” Holbrook said.
“We had been hoping to get Corey Thompson for a while. It’s up to Mary (McGregor) to motivate his own players.
“When Matt Dufty got asked that his only answer could have been to stay here and fight for his spot because we were going to sign Corey Thompson. That made his answer easy.”
The Titans are fighting to get off the bottom of the NRL ladder and Holbrook is hoping the addition of Thompson will help them secure their second win of the year.
Thompson drove from Sydney to the Gold Coast on Sunday and will be rushed straight into the No. 1 jersey for the Dragons duel in front of 2000 fans.
“He’s a natural fullback and has been playing the game a long time,” Holbrook said.
“I’ve got no issue or hesitation (playing him). I was always going to go that way.
“It took a bit of a process to get him here but he is ready to go.
“He’s a fit guy and been playing long enough to slot straight in.”
After securing a thrilling win against the Tigers a fortnight ago, the Titans were back to their sloppy worst in last week’s 32-12 loss to South Sydney.
Holbrook has again overlooked ex-representative players Nathan Peats, Jarrod Wallace and Shannon Boyd for selection, but is hopeful of the Titans improving.
“We’ve got to play better than we did last week,” he said.
“We didn’t start well again which wasn’t great. Outside that we competed hard but we’ve got to be better for 80 minutes. We let some soft tries in.
“I thought we fought pretty hard after that but we weren’t ready from the start.
“It was disappointing not to back up the Tigers game but we get the opportunity (on Saturday).”
So impressed with Holbrook for addressing this. Something needed to be said publicly and stand up for the club. I would take Thompson over Dufty every day of the week. The proof will be in the pudding this weekend. Shut up Mary.
Quite like Dufty tbh but happy with Thompson and totally love Holbrook ... Mary was a bully in his playing days, preying on much smaller opposition and getting schooled when against class. The big red Vagina dug themselves into a hole (unintentional pun) when they quasi-relocated ... their best hope is to become the big red Sharks.
