Round 23: TITANS vs STORM

[5 Year Contract]

-46 PD not terrible but sharks not far behind and easier games

If you want to call out players Herbert deserves a mention. He overchased not once but twice to open up space for the fox on the inside. You’d think he would have learnt the first time

[Mexican titan]

We have nobody to take control of a game. Our entire spine is useless, and I don't include JC in that because he's only played a few games. How bad is it when a kid with only a few games under his belt is outperforming plodders like Ash, Fogarty and Clark? AJ will be a good ball runner next year at 6 but we will still lack a genuine organiser and a capable 9. Fogarty ain't it.

Been saying that all season mate. I agree with what you say about JC. But we need at least two in the spine.

Herbert being fooled by the same play down that edge like 3 times absolutely killed me inside. How do you not learn.

[FalconSloth]

Sharks have the storm though so we should control our own fate if the Raiders lose

Yeah Herbert has been caught flat footed a few times the last few weeks. Has a bit of Sami syndrome and comes in. Love what he does in attack but needs to trust his inside man and slide more

My only thought is if storm wrap up #1 spot they will rest players last round but yep it’s just win time from here

Herbert was one of our better defenders throughout the first half of the season. Has made some clangers the last couple weeks though.

Yeah I especially remember last time we played the storm he was all over Olam. Might be an issue with the player inside and coming in

Why do we even want to see this team make finals anymore though? I'm all out of energy. We couldn't even beat Melbourne with so many of their players out.

We are suckers for pain so why not prolong it for an extra week or two! You never know maybe one game we turn up for the full 80

[NZFan]

Herbert does not trust Fogarty and nor should he. Fogarty gets caught flat footed and is too slow to chase his man. Herbert is forced to take Fogarty’s lead and come in. He got caught over chasing tonight but on both occasions Fogarty had given up on the play.

Well I’m not dwelling on this. Yes it was disappointing. Yes each week the players we say should not be in the team prove us all right and yes our weak ruck, edge and goal line defence let’s us down but….mathematically we are still alive. Let’s pray for some upsets and then it’s do or die time against the knights and warriors

As I said 3 weeks ago talk of the finals and/or making the finals is polishing the turd.
We are wayyyyyy off the pace and the issues need confrontation.

Top 8 talk takes the heat off the club.

I see it this way too. He’s holding and then gunning instead of being on toes and sliding. Doesn’t trust his inside man.

Yep it's been obvious all season tbh, why even if Sexton has his limitations I am ok with it.
