Got to give the Sea Eagles some credit here tonight. They haven't had a whole lot of opportunity to play with Stewart, Lyon, Foran and DCE this season, so it's no surprise to see them put away a patchy Titans side like this. If they continue to play like they did tonight, they'll cause plenty of teams trouble heading into the finals. Hell, play well enough and they can be there themselves.
Titans were pretty awful tonight. They had a couple of players put their hands up but the amount of times they shot themselves in the foot or failed to execute the most basic of plays was astounding and if I was a Titans fan I would have just tuned out early. There was nothing really to get out of a game like this with so many important players missing. Only silver lining is that the likes of McDonald, Paasi, Burr and Peteru are all getting a taste of the big time.
Sea Eagles have got Cowboys, Warriors, Broncos, Rabbitohs, Raiders, Eels, Roosters and Cronulla, they might cause a few headaches, but with that draw I can't see them making the finals, not many of those teams will show up with a defensive effort like that tonight.
Sam Williams gone for like 2 months or something with a pec tear. Huge blow for the Raiders. They could have challenged for the 8 with one of the easiest runs out of all the teams, but it'll be tougher without Sam.
