[Foordy]

So Payten is moving Taumalolo again ... this time to prop.

I seriously don't think even Payten knows what the **** he is doing anymore. JT2 should have been the easiest player on his roster to manage.

p.s. what's with Val Holmes in the centers?

Some of the things i've heard gives me the same sort of vibe we had here with Seibold.

I don't think you need inside info to get that sort of feeling. The team is not playing like a team and he's throwing names at the dartboard and hoping something sticks or he gets really lucky, this is Seibold to a sleuth.

[Fozz]

Fermor looking more like Fifita than Fifita has all season with that run.

 

[Fozz]

Tino is the guy who should be on the big bucks.

Got interchanged on and immediately took the first hit up he could.

 

[Midean]

Great kick by Pearce.

 

[mrslong]

David Fifita is so lazy. It’s embarrassing. Milf at least played well his first couple of million dollar years. Gross Fifita, gross.

 

[Galah]

Wow I really enjoy those mid game interviews with players who aren’t playing, it really adds the the game as I can’t here wtf they’re talking about from both ends!

grow up ch9 you muppets

Was just about to say the same. Its actually shocking how much he is phoning it in. I've never, ever seen him do back to back plays in defence, and he constantly sits out on the wing. He's honestly headed for Dave Taylor territory. He's getting targeted by ponga in defence and pongas winning DESPITE fifita starting off the bench for more then 30 mins lol

 

[Galah]

Wallace, what are you doing champ!

 

[Bull Shark]

Tonight’s match has me wondering who’s been the bigger ‘bust’ in 2021 - David Fifita as a marquee signing for the Titans or Cameron Smith as a RL analyst?

Tell you what, Flanno is getting better on fox.

 

[BroncsFan]

Titans just not clinical enough.

Knights were horrendous for about 60mins in this game, but titans just never looked like putting them away... Titans just giving away 7 tackle sets with crap kicks early on (Rein and Fogarty)... about 3 or 4 high shots and penalties to give the knights easy territory, letting Ponga get out of his in goal after a good kick, etc.

It was only a matter of time before the knights clicked into gear and once Pearce kicked the 40/20 and Ponga started to up his running and line engagement it was pretty well over for the titans.

Pissed off mainly because I tipped the titans...

 

[mrslong]

Rein really is really rubbish. He makes Macca look like cam smith

 

[mitch222]

Reckon the knights will rest a few players next week now that game doesn’t matter

 

[Big Pete]

An ugly win for Newcastle but they'll take it. Their rushing defence made life difficult for the Titans and while it wasn't their best games Ponga and Pearce just had too much class.

Titans just got caught up going side to side and didn't much an understrength Knights through the middle. I thought the Peachey experiment backfired and he played for himself far too often and hardly anything came off.
