    Guys I have to say that for the first time since our inception year I feel that I can relax with the feeling that the club is moving forward in a way that I can understand and invest in both emotionally and financially. Sure there’s a lot of work to be done and there’ll be highs and lows but when I see players having a dig and underachievers lifting then that’s all I can ask.

    Today I saw Copley, Wallace, Proctor, Hipgrave and Peats in particular (and they were certainly not alone) lift and deliver beyond the crap I have seen them offer up before. If you add Tino the Unpronounceable, Herman the Unmovable and Fifita the Unstoppable to our current roster with some of our emerging talent then our coach will have the pool to mold into a truly competitive outfit. I love our club for its resilience through times when others would have wilted.

    We have the best fans in the NRL
    No group has had their resilience as fans tested as much as those of us that are still here fighting on

    Agree with everything except Hipgrave. He tries, brings aggression, but that's all. We can do a lot better than having him in the side next year if you ask me.

    I've really liked what I've seen from Proctor of late, but I just worry that it's only because he's playing for his contract. Wish he brought that leadership and intensity every week since he got here.

    So Kelly’s arm hits the ground so he is tackled. If he held onto the ball and was dragged into touch it would have been a Roosters ball. Watching Manly/Penrith and Yeo gets tackled short of the line (arm hits ground) yet he rolls over to plant the ball down. Seems to be double standards.

    Yeh I didn’t see much of the game but saw that and thought the exact same thing, if he held onto it while they were dragging him out, it would of been called out.. they were dragging him, not laying on him.. common sense should be used.. and yeh some crap I see called against us but not against others pisses me off.. I’m glad we didn’t get a heap of points on us... feeling confident next week against the cows

    I actually thought Hipgrave went OK today. His defence was effective and he ran for nearly 100m in his time on the field. I think he brings an aggressive approach to his defence that the team needs. Obviously, the coach believes he adds to the team and I’m sure he will be in or around the 17 next season, despite the signings.
    I have never been a huge fan of Peats but the last two games have shown how important he is to stiffening up our middle defence. He topped the tackle count again and he lead the line up in defence.

    Henry Perenara seems to be one of those refs that referees to the lay of the competition table. When he refs our games it reminds me of watching Capras games up here. Any 50/50 calls go against you. Poor old Proctor busted what was left of his voice box while questioning HP's calls.

    Sure the roosters were not at 100%...some would say they weren't full strength by a very long way. Be that as it may, I could not have been more proud of the effort from the Titans yesterday. We didn't get the win...but the Titans of last year would have rolled over and copped a flogging as soon as calls started going against us.

    I said it yesterday, and I'm sure it's obvious to all...we're done with slowly continuing our downhill journey. We've successfully completed a steady three point turn...and we're now heading back up the hill. We've still got a bit of road to cover...but we're gaining momentum.

    Great coaching yesterday and a terrific effort by the team! We're getting our grit back!

    I’m a big fan of both Peats and Hipgrave although I do think that they both have some flaws to their games. I’d like Peats to run more from dummy half and take the line on close to the line when there is a quick play of the ball. Rein does that really well but his defence is terrible and he panicked when under pressure. We are a better team defensively when Peats is on the field. As you pint out Firetruck he leads the defensive line. When he came off yesterday out line barely came forward at all.

    Hipgrave brings aggression and enthusiasm. I don’t really see him as an edge though. I like him more as a bench middle where he comes on after 25min and lifts the defensive effort by putting some shots on. He doesn’t really have the ball playing ability to be an edge.

    I absolutely love the fact that Holbrook calls out the reffing where it is necessary. The best part of his presser yesterday was when he said that if it was a team at the other of the competition ladder that made that play, it would have been a try. He is 100% correct and the Panthers game later confirmed that. The fact is in that play both of the Roosters players where pulling Kelly upwards. There was no downward force in the tackle so Kelly couldn’t actually be held. I firmly believe that there is match fixing in the NRL and I’m glad that Holbrook has the guts to call it out.

    If we were up 6 nill early in that match it would have looked like a completely different game. Instead we are defending on our own line early in the match again, effectively putting us on the back foot for the rest of the match.

    I know most are probably sick of hearing me say this but how many chances does Don get? Two weeks running he has spilled the ball coming out from our own line in the first 10 mins of the game. Apart from the try that anybody could have scored, what else did he actually do that was positive?

    Not a lot to say except big effort to match it with another heavyweight in the comp.

    This trio of games - Storm, Panthers and Roosters has the potential to get very ugly, but we played tough and gritty for all but one half against storm.

    no games will be as tough as these three and we showed we can at least hold our own.

    proctor and Wallace much improved - proctor especially running straight and fast off that second tip on.

    think Thompson should be ok the team, take Dons spot maybe?

    lastly - how good did our natural lighter ocean blue jersey look. Next year is a rebirth due to signings and holbrooks first proper crack after short ore season and covid. Let’s signal the new era with a return to our normal colours - either the newer version of our 07’ strip, or something along the chevron style when Sezer / Albert Kelly we’re our halves.

    Sorry for typos. Not editing them out.

    We will never win those close games if we're always kicking from inside our 20 or dropping balls inside our 20. What's wrong with spry and GL? They offer the size and power we clearly lack in our backs yet can't get a run. It's so frustrating watching don and Sami run sideways and lose metres or throw a hail Mary pass and knock on always kills any momentum we have

    My mate and I argue over Don all the time. His defence is atrocious and gets caught out repeatedly. However in attack, he always seems to come through with the goods. I like him scoring tries, but his defence is a massive liability. Surely we have someone quicker with a better ethic in defense.

    I honestly don't mind don.

    The fogarty no try waa frustrating but that tedesco forward pass try was a hideous joke. He literally throws it past our defenders face and over his shoulder, like a basketball pass. Deadset absolute joke im still salty over it.

    Great news. The Kelly “passing off the ground” leading to the Fogarty try wasn’t even bought up in Annesleys weekly “this is how the refs stuffed up this week” briefing. I’ve lost patience with the NRLs incompetence.
