I would be curious to know how we appeared to have so much energy in the last 10 minutes. Suddenly the forwards were taking big carries again, we got the momentum, we got penalties, we scored 2 tries late.
It can't be subbing or personnel, because Woods and Grant and Sue were all subbed back on at the time the Titans were walking in tries.

I honestly think it just comes down to poor play for a long period of time by the team but more importantly individual players. Players just dropped balls, threw bad passes and took the wrong option.
Maybe Woods isn't the best option for captain but maybe that is being a bit harsh. I do think Moses is at this point our most reliable playmaker/leader. That is a pretty sad comment regarding Woods, Farah and Brooks but that is how it appears to me. Tedesco is a gun but I think his role is a little different.

The attack is very one dimensional,they do not seem to have any plays around the ruck, everything goes out to the right flank. I remember a few years ago when the Dragons were the same, it worked for a while and than everyone found out how to defend it and they had nothing else.
Don't get me wrong it was not our attack that lost us the game, it was a combination of everything,but if I had to point my finger at one thing it would be our thread bear defence up the middle

From what I saw our execution was off except for the first try. This then lead to poor pass decisions which lead to losing possession. We then lose field position and we hung tough until Mortimer's try. Then we played poorly for 30 minutes, and regained some confidence at the end. Maybe it was just one of those nights. We will see against Para.
It doesn't matter who we play or how well we're playing or how far we're in front, this team always has the feeling that the opposition could score at any moment, as a supporter you're never confident at any stage during the game and that's what has to change if we are to ever make the 8 and be contenders. If we can feel it as supporters, the players feel it also trust me. There's just no confidence in their ability to turn teams away consistently.

Happy does Maths , just did 2 hours with young EB Bloody hell , the way they do Maths today , bloody overcomplicate it Backtracking 😱pen_mouth: I just worked it out and gave you the answer and now you want me to do it backwards , maybe you'd like it explained in Japanese as well
Happy did misread , sorry Stryker My bad
Not completing our sets killed us and turnovers due to the poor decision making were shocking , especially when it costs you 3 tries

Mancrush aside, I imagine we should be calmer and defensively sturdier with Farah back.
A bit of an over-reaction from some.
Did people think this side was going to go through undefeated and be essentially perfect throughout.
Two weeks ago everyone was saying we stink and will be contenders for the spoon. We don't look anything like that.
They made too many mistakes, as they will from time to time.
Apart from that, we still looked like a good team. Our defensive structures looked good. We looked good with the ball in hand.
We made mistakes, we got tired and let them get on a role, happend to the Broncos who look like the team to beat this year.

Seriously, some fans on here are gold.
Wanting to replace Woods as captain? We had 2 games where the team fights back to win, games the Tigers would have lost last year. Nobody got on Woods' wagon & praised him for rallying the team to fight back. We lose one game, and he should be gone for Farah?
Yeah, it was a disappointing game. And there are probably a million reasons. But in the end, they couldn't complete sets. The Titans did a better job of it. And as a result, the Tigers lost control of the game.
Give whatever reasons you want- but for mine that is the mark of a young team. Keeping the screws on a team when you have the beaten is hard. Particularly when, as they have done 3 weeks in a row, they carve up the defense easily early on. Natural enthusiasm for these kids- they want to rack up more points. Get sloppy. Lose the fundamentals & focus & start trying to score from everywhere, when they really should do a Melbourne, or prepare yourselves, play Taylor-ball more & focus on possession starving the opposition.
Hopefully they will learn that.
But for anyone wanting to pin it on Woods' captaincy- the Tigers have leaked points & blown far more leads under Farah's captaincy. And yes, we've all seen Robbie 'rev them up' when points start leaking. But strangely, it's still been a while since we saw it make much difference..

You actually have to work for Wins.

I think so too but he isn't the answer to all of our defensive problems. We need our defence to stay switched on for the whole game.

You just gave a whole lot of reasons why Woods isn't doing the job as a captain.
We've won two fight back games where we should never been in the place to have to fight back.
As you say they are a young team and go off the rails ( and have done so every game) - and Woods,so far, doesn't seem able to do anything about it.
Comparing Farah and the past has nothing to do with what's needed now, which is a hard headed experienced leader.
Maybe Woods will find a voice, for our sake I hope it's soon.
