LIVE GAME Round 20 v Titans

[SwervinMervin]

Must have been a Lebanese Flu thing, because Sukkar was crook with it too.

Workers comp claim?

Doueihi needs to be careful with his comments re: positional changes, Benji might put a stiff arm on him at training during the week.

They do train don't they?

Not this week. They get a week off after a win.

Already has. Thats why the drama happened at training. Brother of a tigers player is the source.

Doesn’t narrow it down much. Whole team is made up of brothers…

Unfortunately, I think we are still learning to play together especially after all the Galvin stuff. My guess is that our attacking structures have had to change and add the Douiehi to 13 thing and Latu learning his trade - we will continue to look a bit clunky in attack but hopefully on the improve.
Taylan May looks like he absolutely belongs at this level and have been watching Makasini in reserves who looks to be a class above that level already.
If we can keep the spine (including Douiehi) with addition of KPP on an edge and May and Makasini, plus another couple of key signings - I think things are looking good moving forward.

Great post.

Was not at the game but after watching it onTV it is easy to get caught up in the raw emotions of the last minute win at LO. With the crowd going off you tend to overlook the fact we basically struggled to beat the team coming last on our own home patch. Sure there were positives like May’s first game for the club and the way we kept in the game.

I think the next month will probably give us a very good indication what we can expect next year. With basically only KPP in the recruitment bag and nothing else on the radar it would appear the side we have now plus Bulla,KPP and maybe the big whiz kid will be our team in 2026. It has me a tad worried about top eight prospects when I look at other rosters.

Anyway the big positive to come out of yesterday, it pretty much guaranteed that the spoon will find a new home in 2025

Isn't it funny....now all we are hoping for is to avoid the "spoon", rather than playing as we should and find our way into the top 8 ?

He position needs to be reviewed at seasons end with a view to replacing him. His work has been very poor this year for mine.

Yes I'm sorry to say I think so too (that is if he is the attack coach)-maybe they don't have an attack coach ?

Sometimes you just take the W I suppose but wow, the Titans are deadset average and we beat them, at home mind you, on the back of penalty goals and a 80th minute field goal having scored three tries to their four.

It was always going to be a close game. Both teams have had 2 wins against Knights this season, but the Titans wins were more convincing. You balance that against 16,000 WT faithful on a Sunday arvo at LO and it’s a contest.
I would like to see Benji pick and stick. Get out of treating the players like under 7s. They know how to pass the ball. Allow them to do the drills without the extra player (coach) who is on the sideline at game time.
Every player showed they wanted to win that game, now if only they can develop some harmonic motion, know your teammates better than you know the opposition.
