[Harry Sack]

Mitch Moses ruled out. Possible whiplash from Wednesday night?

 

[Big Pete]

The Eels with that Melbourne Storm esque line-speed thus far.

Arthur off for an HIA after an awkward attempt at tackle. Eels will have to go with a Smith/Brown halves combo.

 

[Midean]

That was nice, shame its not a try.

 

[Big Pete]

Good play there from the Titans down a short-side, Brimson into the game early and Thompson goes within a whisker of scoring.

Eels will go right back on the attack.

 

[Big Pete]

Good try from Dylan Brown and it's nice seeing what he does best running the ball.

A bit soft from the Gold Coast defence, Taylor goes low on Matterson and Fifita is too late to stop the offload. Then on top of that Kelly didn't come into close the gap allowing Brown to go through a yawning gap.

He did show good pace to turn Brimson inside out.

 

[Wolfie]

Thats not a bin

 

[The Don]

Did Matterson knock on? I've seen 4 of Proctors tackles not be bins in the last 2 weeks I reckon.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

May the footy gods help the Gold Coast Titans

May the footy gods help the Gold Coast Titans

I think you can say this about the NRL in general to be honest.

 

[Wolfie]

Thats a hell of a kick from Gutho

 

[Fozz]

Jesus Christ, is there a chart of acceptable haircuts in the NRL or something? How the hell do they have so many shit chops?

 

[vertigo]

Fifita has gotten worse the longer the season has gone on.

Hooked after 30 minutes.

 

[Midean]

Not sure what to make of that, Tino was def milking, but he did have Parra hands on him.
50/50 went against him i guess.

Matterson trapped his leg and tripped him while he was getting up.

Rubbish call.

 

[The Don]

Thinking of joining you @Sproj

 

[Battler]

Fifita has gotten worse the longer the season has gone on.

Hooked after 30 minutes.

Obvious through out the contract saga that he wanted to stay here. A smart club would have backed off when he initially turned down hundreds of thousands more.

 

[Sproj]

How entertaining are all these games! I for one am loving the suspense, close contests, lack of knowing who is going to win inside 5 minutes and the excitement of back and forths...and then I realised I was watching the AFL.
