[Big Pete]

Reynolds playing Saturday but not Wednesday?

Yeah, I think Madge must have been reading Freaky's posts on here.

"Freaky's onto something here. Game III is a pointless game! Right! I'm pulling Adam out and getting the Rabbitohs season back on track!"

Nah, I think Michael maybe optimistic, naming Reynolds in the faint hope that he'll be right to plant the seed of doubt into Brisbane. Otherwise, he'd have to rearrange the side and bring in either Angus Crichton or Dr. Doolittle and they'd get hounded all week.

Speaking of the Broncos/Souths clash, I find the Magpies team interesting. I wonder if that's a clue in of itself?

 

[Sproj]

But I want to see Eddie Murphy play, I hear he might be the golden child.

 

[Big Pete]

The Gold Coast are 1-17

St George Illawarra have made a raft of changes. With Dugan and Marshall out, Lafai and McCrone come into the side with Nightingale taking up the fullback role and Mann shifting to the wing.

Mike Cooper returns from injury, relieving Lui from the bench.

Once again, this is another instance of McGregor playing it safe. Lafai has been incredibly disappointing this season for St. George Illawarra and McGregor made the right call in dropping him. So to turn around and invite him back into the side has to be considered weak.

The selection of McCrone maybe even worse. Drew Hutchinson was one of the most talented halves of his generation, and yet he's been given little opportunity to impress at St George. Given the Dragons inability to score points with their current halves pairing, it boggles my mind that he hasn't been in serious considerations.

I hope the Titans give the Dragons board something to think about tonight.

 

[Tera]

My God Widdop is shit.

 

[Alec]

Nene MacDonald is pretty gun.

 

[vertigo]

I just want to apologise for saying we should've gone hard after Widdop when we were in a halves crisis.

 

[Super Freak]

I just want to apologise for saying we should've gone hard after Widdop when we were in a halves crisis.

We were all desperate.

I believe some people even wanted Sandow.. That's how desperate we were.

 

[vertigo]

Sandow :laugh: good god.

 

[Big Pete]

Good to see the Titans get up.

They're an honest football side. A few too many stop-gaps to be taken seriously but Henry is building a nice foundation. After a forgettable couple of months, Bird was back to his best for the Titans. If they're to play finals football, he needs to make his presence felt.

The Dragons learned nothing from the Sea Eagles game. They looked absolutely clueless and I feel sorry for their fanbase.

 

[Morkel]

The Dragons looked like they were still at training. Going through their set plays slowly, one pass at a time, to get it right. No one practised it at normal speed.

The Titans are the complete opposite of when they first went downhill. Back then their games were dominated with dropped balls and they consistently fatigued under the lack of possession. Now, they respect the ball. They don't have the superstars to struggle a top team at their best, but if their opposition is just slightly off their game they can grind them down.

I didn't like the Titans when their fans were dominated by bandwagoners who just jumped on board because they were new and exciting and everyone else was. But now if I see a fan, there's a bit more respect.

 

[Fozz]

Manly win 15-14 in golden point.

Terrible conditions but still a hopeless performance by the Warriors. Why couldn't they play like that against is?!?!

 

[broncoboy]

While paying close attention to manlys return to form over the last couple of weeks ive put it down to a few things


Tom Trbojevic return to fullback

The return of one of my favourite players Jamie Buhrer

Daly cherry evans form

and the main one for me has been the form of the most underrated player in the game, Darcy Lussick

this week lussicks has 17 hit ups, for 210 metres (about 12m per run), he also made 30 tackles.

 

[vertigo]

Yeah I reckon Brett should call it a day, Tom is their long-term fullback.
