Round 5 - Titans vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[Big Dave]

You do it out of spite and pettyness. In fact, you've been back 5 minutes in this forum and you already have given more dislikes than anyone else!

It just shows how passionate I am about my footy.. and not many people have my knowledge

Nah mate, it really just shows pettiness and arrogance. And that, you have plenty of!

Anyway, end of this discussion here. This thread is about the next Broncos game and I'm making myself guilty of derailing it.

Any possibility of Kahu as a long term fullback. Juniors at fullback but could not dislodge Gagai in the 20's

Probably none after signing Dugan.

What about after we sack Dugan:biggrin:

 

[Splinter]

I would like Tallis to be our part time forward coach. Rev the lads up every week. We lack fire in the belly most weeks. Tallis is the man to fire the boys up

I will agree with you on this one. Tallis would not pamper them he would tell them straight if he was not happy with their performance. Shame Henjak lost us Peter Ryan, another straight shooter although Cowboys defense is leaving a bit to be desired yet

 

[Mr Fourex]

Unfortunately I disagree tonight. If not for Wallace's organization of the attack at times tonight we would have perhaps scored one try.
I am still not convinced by him either but am prepared to concede he played well tonight.
My comments at the start of the season were if Prince played like he has done for the last 18 months we will struggle, at this stage he is not improving. Bring in Hunt to half and Wallace to 5/8

Pfft ....yeah well, I won't lose to much sleep over not gaining your respect after reading that bs. :001_rolleyes:

Prince and Wallace have been as equally bad as each other. My problem is that I know that's the best Wallace can do and I have seen Prince do a lot better.

My other reasoning for moving Wallace out of the halves instead of Prince is because I think Wallace can add something more to the side from dummy half.

In fact the player I want out the most at the minute is McCullough.

I won't be arguing with you over dummy half being a problem

See, this is why I can't take you seriously about anything you say when it comes to Wallace. That's just plain dishonest seriously!

Now this I can agree with!

Equally as bad the first 3 weeks yes tonight no. Prince was awful

Just win FFS.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We have Marketo on the books? **** me, if that's true it's a crime that he's not playing.

He plays for the Dolphins. I liked what I saw in the Dolphins televised game. He seems to be a hard hitter in defence as well.

 

[Old Mate]

1. Norman
2. Kemp
3. Reed
4. Hodges
5. Maranta
6. Wal
7. Hunt
9. Macca

14. Any hooker

We play that and insta win. I don't see why people want to drop Maranta for Kahu, it was only Kahu's first game, I'd let him have a few more before bringing him up full time.

 

[rnabokov]

Prince ought to be given at least 2-3 more games, and his goal kicking did keep us in this match as much as all the other good things we did.

I disagree with another poster who thinks the Titans pack are better than the Storm. The Storm pack are as good as any of the best - well drilled, disciplined and play for each other. Mind you, the Tits pack is also very good.

In any case, our forwards matched the Storm which is truly excellent, the momentum was what kept us in that game as well.

The key now is too get the halves deeper, the outside backs deeper, Norman to move into the line as much if not more and play the same quick passing game to running support.

Macca is not all to blame - the halves are standing too flat which compounds Macca's slow service and needs to be fixed ASAP

I thought Kemp was out injured at present. We are going to be short in our back line with all these injuries

 

[rnabokov]

Kahu to wing if Hodges is back?

Not many people are as up themselves and delusional as you either

Does every thread have to be a b4l vs Big Dave e-penis argument?

You've got blinders on when it comes to Wallace though mate. He has been all over Prince this year. Not excellent but much better than Prince. Still, happy to seem him push to hooker.

So many of our lackluster options came from awful dummy half passes last night from macca. The ball thaiday dropped was below his waste and I could count how many times Wallace or prince got a pass at face level. and the dart out of dummy half to realize he had nothing only to turn it back into Wallace then get in his way? We looked so much sharper with Hunt giving a decent pass out of dummy half.

we've never really seen the Wallace/Hunt combo but I reckon it could be a winner...
