I was looking through our team list, and it is abundantly clear that lack of depth/experience is what will kill us this season. The Titans aren't exactly setting the world on fire, but the difference in NRL experience for the 2 squads playing today is huge.
Games played:
WT Backs/Halves - 642
GC Backs/Halves - 683
WT Forwards - 201
GC Forwards - 373
WT Interchange - 3
GC Interchange - 389
WT Total games played - 846
GC Total games played - 1445
The Titans are fielding far from a 1st choice team, yet have almost twice the level of experience (when games played is the metric used) than we do. We are getting a couple of good players in Luai and Turuva next year, but I feel that unless we are able to free up and fill some roster spots with some solid first graders with some experience behind them, 2025 won't be much of an improvement on this year.
I'm generally one to look at the glass half full, but the difference in experience was staring me right in the face. I hope the guys can aim up today, but I hope that we can get some experience through the door, and soon even more.
