NRL 2022 Round 1 Discussion

[BroncsFan]

Nice to see halves combining with 20-30m passes instead of the middle forward getting in the way

 

[The Don]

This simultaneously sucks and is flipping awesome.

 

[BroncosFever]

yeah look, the 2 teams have turned up today to play a bit of footy

the team that scores the most points, will go to win this game

 

[Fozz]

48 points scored by halftime, the defensive coaches are tearing their hair out.

 

[Financeguy]

Both teams defence reminds me of us under Siebs

Low blow...

 

[Wolfie]

Fifita when he decides he wants to put in is such a good player.

 

[Accept]

This is a real shoot out. The Titans certainly have the arsenal. Shame about their defence mechanisms. Parramatta a definite top 4 side this season. GC are a dark horse and will finish above .500.

Is that before the 15th minute mark or after?

But for a fluke kick off the goal posts this would be even closer.

Titans did really well to get back into it with the fast start by the Eels.

[BroncosFever]

To be fair, this is a typical Titans game

They can score some incredible tries but they can concede really easily too

I thought they'd have knuckled down in the pre-season and really put an emphasis on defense but apparently not

There has been 5 tries scored down his side..... FIVE... in 40 minutes...

Titans seem to be playing a brand of footy at a level we should be at.
Early days but the Titans are looking like they could upset a few teams this season.

They havent been down to him tbf. Marzhew and Herbert dont look like they have much of a combination at all.

 

[The Don]

I reckon half the problem down that edge is Marzhew and Herbert to be fair. Thompson seems to be the calming influence on that edge but got ruled out late.

It’s also parra’s strength…for a few seasons now Gutho and Moses are much more comfortable trying some quick passing out to Sivo’s wing

If you did video analysis on 3/4 titans tries conceded last year guaranteed you'd find fifita walking in background with that depressed/confused look on his face....

Strange that capewell has fixed our problem yet the 1 consistent player who was there this and last year isn't part of the problem for the titans because he's a 2nd rower?

Aside from lock/hooker (normally dictate line speed) and fullback (organise and communicate), 2nd row is the most important defensive position on the field. Riki has obviously worked on his and capewell is there now and all of a sudden we go from 1 game last year conceding less then 19 points, to 4 points... 1 game but definite improvement.

I think surprisingly for Fifita he has done a bit of dirty work today. Last year he certainty wasn't doing that much at all. His issue will be to do it all year and i have my doubts he can.
