A pretty good loss

No losses are good..the fact we still had the opportunity to win ..makes it more frustrating…

BTW sick of hearing about Goalkicking the titans missed 3 goals off trys as well!!! if you wanna go by goalkicking logic they should have been 24-10 up

Agreed. They scored more tries than us. **out played us through the middle** and out muscled our forwards. not a good enough performance all around after last week.
We went backwards this week in my opinion. not necessarily as individuals (although a few were) but as a team.
There were some really bad calls in that game go against us but hey, thats the NRL isn't it, unprofessionalism at it's worst every week. Just think of it as part of the sport sadly.[

well they knew where our weakness was is that was not there before

Can't agree that we weren't weak in the middle before mate. Teams like the roosters always power right through us up the middle. Been happening for years with or without farah. The cowboys tried last week but we aimed up and put them on their arses. Needed to back it up again.

The better team won.

We did well to get back into the game considering the loss of Teddy. There is too much pressure on Moses to produce. The defence stacks his side and miracle plays are needed to get through and it cost us twice with 2 intercepts from the pressure in defence.

We need a plan B in those situations and we dont have one.

I agree with this. Moses, for all his recent excellent form, had a poor game yesterday. His penchant for the miracle play crept back in and it cost us points. There is still need for composure and patience from the team when the opposition defense are in their faces. There were some positive aspects to the game and there was no questioning the effort or commitment. However, overall, it was not a great performance because they were outplayed by a team who are inferior in quality to the team we beat last week.

A good loss at a bad time. If we put in next yr, like we've put in the second half of this yr, we'll be in the 8.

So have the JT fan boys conceded your messiah has failed again to get us into the 8.

The fat lady hasn't started singing yet.At this stage she is just running through her practice. She might start singing next week and maybe not.

That's pretty much the way I saw it. The Titans did to us what we did to the Cowboys. Can't agree with a good loss. With better composure, it was a game we could have won.

Playing at home on front of 16k fans with our season on the line and we lose in this fashion.

2 intercept tries were the difference and goal kicking.

You missed the critical ref call stats.

Sums the game up perfectly.
Really pees me off, when have the chance to win, and cannot. :deadhorse: :blush: :smiling_imp: :unamused:
If I typed on here what I actually feel, then I'd be on review from the moderators. :wink:

A good loss is loser talk.

The squaddies have been spinning it for all its worth. It's about time someone refreshed the JT should get credit thread.

Please, you're being to subtle. You need to be a bit more obvious if you want people to know you're delighted by yesterday's result.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

You described it as a good loss and then the promise of next year! Always next year! You and the other squaddies talked it up big time after last week and haven't delivered. I am just as disappointed as the next supporter but realistic; JT needs to be shown the door (he should have been sacked last year) but accountability within the club is selective.

You're very naive if you think the higher ups would allow JT to do what he's done without their approval.

They won't conceed , they'll be digging in their high heels .

Persistant poor team selections have cost us big time .

 

[Newtown]

I can't see how it was a good loss. We have lost our best player for the season and the grub culprit has got off scot free.

I agree with what you have written.

And where does Buckets share of the blame come into it? He was supposed to have been the one who rubber stamped team selections. Higher ups would not allow a player on almost 1 million dollars to languish in reserves if JT was the only one who had an issue with said player.

Can always rely on buckets to come into the discussion after a loss….

Well if that's the case (only going on what TT has posted ) the lot should be shown the door ….buckets /Taylor & Pascoe !
Why was Pascoe released from the Panthers?
We seem to get all the duds that John West rejected !

Pascoe has re-signed half a dozen players, club memberships are at an all time high, and we're still in contention for the finals. We haven't gone this deep into a season since 2011-12\. A real dud.

Without seeing a stat and based on what I saw, Titans were only the better team by virtue of making less errors with the ball.

For the life of me, I can't remember at Titans line break. Our defensive line was only breached once through the kick to the in-goal and the Titans other three tries came off the back of two intercepts and bomb. Admittedly our first try was lucky, but we broke their defensive line with our other two tries.
