Hopefully we can grab another win.

 

[Fozz]

Hopefully Ning doesn't sneak in and out undetected.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Damn I wish it was at Skilled Park, I would attend and we would be assured of a win, every Titans game I have gone there the Titans have lost.

[Kimlo]

I hope we get a huge win. We haven't got a big win all season so this would be a nice time :)

+ If we win this game we are guaranteed a top 8 spot :)

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hopefully Rogers is playing so I can see his dumb face lose again... Broncos by 30+ hopefully icon_thumbs_u

 

[pennywisealfie]

oh snap, Titans? **** yeah. My first game against the Titans as a Brisbaneite. we are gonna kick some monkey ass.

The attack still worries me. The timing isn't right yet. Timing is everything.

Our 2nd man plays aren't timed properly. By the time the runners are in place, the defence has moved up to kill the space these plays are supposed to create.

The short passes inside and out aren't being timed well overall. The support gets the ball before the carrier is at the defensive line giving the defence the chance to move up on the receiver.

Last night, the Moi Moi offload which led to their try is how it's done. He hits the line and off loads to whoever it was running at speed off his shoulder. That was perfectly timed. Led to a good try.

And when was the last time anyone saw Hodges get the ball on the run with space? He always seems to be running either from dummy half or with the defence in his face.

So far, as one commentator said last night, our defence wins matches. Against Souths, our lack of timing in attack was exposed with the inevitable result when you play a team whose defence is equally good.

Our tries last night were mostly due to individual effort rather than structured team play. The Gillett try was sheer individual brilliance. It came when the attack was lost in space. Even though Gagai's 1st try was set up well, Walker is hardly a good defender. Gagai should have been wrapped up and put into touch.

When/if the timing and execution in attack returns, this team can win the premiership no worries.

 

[Charmamba]

Nope, we are in a position to aim for the top spot or at the least a top4 spot. I would prefer all players on board from next week on.

 

[jarro65]

I think the rep players will have had enough of a rest before this game .... .they'll have had almost 10 days rest, plenty IMO

We can beat the Titans without our big 3.

Not worth the risk we already have the bye. Let's go all out for a top 2 finish

 

[Big Pete]

Not a bad suggestion Rocky but I'd prefer we establish some rhythmn before such a big game.

Of course this could all change from now until the Tits game where players could be struggling to back up. It all depends if ideally they come through Origin unscathed.

The only time we should rest any player at full strength is Lockyer against the Cowboys.

 

[Steve]

With the bye we should definitely play our best possible team for this game.

Yep no way should Locky play in Townsville.
