TEAM LIST Round 1 vs. Titans

Team List
Very surprised to see Storm and Eels move the ball around so much. The line speed and scramble was intense too. To only have 5 tries scored in a game with so many offloads and ball movements is pretty crazy.

If we are ablet to compete with these sides, I'll be a happy man.

Didn't look too great to me in attack.

Extended Bench:18. Alex Seyfarth 19. Starford To’a

Players cut:20. Brandon Wakeham 21. Justin Matamua 22. Junior Tupou
 
Former Tiger Sam McIntyre added to the bench for the Titans replacing the injured Beau Fermor. Joe Stimson promoted to the starting line-up.
 
The Titans have got a good pack - Tino on his day as good as any - if Fifita fires up we will have our hands full, and Verrells a great pick up. They always back themselves against us. It will be test to see if our attitude and commitment for getting into the tough stuff has changed. No use throwing the ball around if you are getting smashed physically.
