Minus 3 Minus 2 Minus 1

In a beaten team with so much pre season hype this was always gonna be hard.

-1 Doohey for only doohing good things sometimes
-2 Laurie WTForum knows what I mean
-3 Sheens for not starting with Api.
 
3. It's really odd in that pack that Twal was the best forward, even as a link man he was the least crap.
2. Naden, not perfect but errors not as costly as some
1. Doueihi for having a crack with the ball, but really overall barely a pass

Api was OK, as was Staines, Klem needs to run, paps we need to forget that ever happened
 
I thought Douehi ,Naden, Twal and Staines did well. The rest terrible
Twal surprised -offload central for the first 10 minutes. But I think Sheens left the Ute's Engine in the garage cos he disappointed me big time. He needed to be running off Api early on. Ice and Brooks are like Bacardi & Sauerkraut. No connection there. Naden was very good. Staines was Ok and tried. You could fill the internet with Doohey's running game and try scoring ability but he only chooses to make a highlights reel rather than an epic!
 
AD needs to take control of the game.
Play selfish - which you all hate.

But simply because he's the only half actually on the field.

Brooks makes a few tackles and that's about it - offers nothing other than some defence any one could do as his purpose to organise and gameplay which he continually shows he cannot do.
 
Thought Simpkin did okay. Forwards weren’t really the problem. We made easy yards but couldn’t capitalise and convert chances into points.

Ice and Koro quiet club debuts.

Dominated most the stats, albeit making plenty of errors and not taking chances killing us.

Composure and direction really lacking. That’s a spine issue

AD needs to harden up. It's obvious to everyone but himself he's such a strong, damaging runner. If he goes into the line, he's a superstar. If he doesn't, he's all over the shop. It appears to me he doesn't like the tough stuff, offensively or defensively.
 
3. Stains : ran hard, straight, backed up. He is your FB.
2. Klemmer: set the tone and we dominated first 20. Not his fault his 7 had 20 plus shots in opp 20 during that time and did nothing. Front rower's job is to set the platform.
1. Honestly...no one. But I will give it to Pole as he at least tried when he came on (too late)

Best for the Titans
3 Nofaluma: set them up well and key plays at vital moments led to tries.
2 Brooks: led their defensive line in their final 20. We kept pressuring them, but Brooks said "not today" and made sure our attacks were repelled.
1. Laurie: Great play for them to pretend to attack the ball, back out, and let it bounce. Fooled our defense and created a try.

Our spine is the issue. Our 1, 6 and 7 are all unproven at NRL level.

Hes a real goer, i can only see him getting better, has a good dig, and i think mid season he might end up at the back.
 
3 Klemmer
2 Kepaoa
1 Joe O

Naughty corner
AD 6 missed tackles and some lazy efforts
Brooks missed half a dozen also and passing game was terrible
Coaching staff. Despite being a man down we had 2 bench players play 30 minutes. Talau was playing a long time on one leg. Hopefully any injury is not a result of leaving him out there.
 
1. Twal
2. Simpkin
3. Doueihi

Twal has improved, finally off loaded, ram raided the line and still held his defence over his long stint.

Simpkin has learnt a lot from Api/Farah and has his own game now, I would personally sign him up for another 2 years.

Doueihi was the only attacking half and did some good things, but poor goal kicking.

Worst:

Laurie
Nofa

Mid range:

Joffa
Stef

Slow, walking up to hit ups, complaining when tackled, milking penalties and slow play the ball

But Madge was crucyfied for playing Ken M injured...remember all the Madge haters stating that...but gee Sheens is an icon...let it be a free pass...
bloody hipocrits...
 
Just back from the game, I thought AD was predictable and kept pushing our attack sideways. Certainly not the worst player but I thought we had tons of ball in good positions but our spine offered very little
Our spine?
Where was the halfback
 
Thought Simpkin went well, Twal was OK, as was Stains, the rest were a mix of some good with some bad, or just plain poor
