Not sure what Des is coaching. Their forward pack is half decent.

I think Des is missing a spine at the Titans.

The team seemed to get then miss some form under Holbrook.
It's weird because he clearly worked some magic at Manly and with a Magical checkbook at the Dogs got a lot of performance there (noting the roarting going on).

No spine and Kieran Foran has had it. That said, I reckon with either Reynolds, DCE or another true half the titans could be a top 8 team.

Yes - their left edge defence is woeful and our right side attack is class. If we can hold the middle we will win. Worried about our bench though

re us vs Penrith...

Our forward pack will be lacking.
They seem to have a full side. We have our best backline IMHO, Heath Mason is being asked the big questions, but otherwise its down to Luai.

Isaiah Papalii doesn't even make their side and the Penrith bench is literally our old forward pack.
We will loose unless Penrith don't turn up. I am guessing they will want to play origin, so we will loose.

we would be better putting May to 13

Agree. We have enough playmakers with Api, Jarome, Mason, Latu to combine with the outside backs.
We also have enough forwards that can pass and offload.
We need to be more dominant through the middle to give the play makers and backs the ball in good field position, against a retreating defence.
Another starting NRL level quality prop would allow May or Sione to start at 13 before our 14th man comes on.

yup , if were to get them it’ll be in the second half when their bigger forwards are gassed

means we will need to play the long game which we aren’t good at lol

Same . Toa, Bula , Mason and Fainu are going to give McLean and Talagi a bath .
Purdue and Laybutt is a much better defensive edge than McLean and Talagi. I’d be very concerned if I was Old man Cleary.
One of those “shit we match up poorly there” moments in a season

Yep , you can really jam him . He’s been smashed a few times because of it. Hopefully he gets there , I remember reading he was a prodigious talent coming through , that was the reason they were meh to Steven Chricton going to the dogs. . That’s not looking too good early doors …. Talagi is also freeway through there . I’d be chucking Sukkar at him all game . He runs a much better line with more power than Seyfarth. He will force Talagi to make contact with him on a few occasions . Just gotta be smart , hit the right shoulder and put some bruises into Talagis delts and traps .

Benji has the potential to become another Uncle Wayne. He is a man-manager and a communicator who coaches the person as much as the footy player. Put the right coaches around him with the right roster, keep Richo stabilising and strengthening the front office, and Benji could become a coaching GREAT.

they backed tago to be a better prospect than crichton , they are both on $750k 😬 bet they’d like that decision back .

I thought it was McLean ? I remember listening a podcast talking about how yes they had Tago but McLean was the real reason , as other clubs , probably us to be honest , were sniffing around him
Big time .

Plenty of dud calls.

Very good forward pack. Just need some direction.

They are a good #9 & #7 away from being a good team.

Thinking the same. No offense to Campbell but he needss to go back to reserves if he wants to learn the halfback craft. Talented but not working right now. Yeah a 9 is a must
