PRE-GAME Round 5 - Titans vs Broncos

[Foordy]

Those who have been to Skilled - where is the best place to sit? Is there any undercover seating if it rains etc?

It is actually the same design as Lang Park, just minus the top tier

I hate Thaiday at prop ... Is our forward depth really so bad that we have to play Thaiday at a position he has always sucked at.

IMO, we would have been better of playing Parker at prop. He doesn't play any different any way. Thaiday could then start at lock.

I don't know why but when I hear Parker at prop I get a painful ringing in my ears.

Hoping Milford breaks the shackles this week.

The Titans edge defence is very brittle so he might be able to crack them with some deft little in and aways there..... be great to see.

I'm also really hoping we get to see Garbutt play some serious minutes. We're still really missing a big forward that can dent the line, so fingers crossed Garbutt fills that void.

Just looked at the Intrust Cup teams for this week and Garbutt has been named for the Magpies...just seemed a bit weird.

They usually announce the teams on Thursdays so theres less time to confirm the side. Souths have named 19 so theyre expecting some changes.
Vidot was not listed with the Jets for the first 3 rounds yet he played them.

We have to start backing up the line breaks every time. Not just half the time. Too often someone will go looking for an offload only to find no one.

Speaking of Vidot, did anyone catch footage of him deep in conversation with Bennett at training on 7 news last night? Would love to know what was said there.

Was it stock footage or was it recorded yesterday? I didn't see it myself but could it have been from weeks ago ?

 

[K-Style]

He might also need longer minutes than he is getting in first grade every so often Ari. I don't read too much into his demotion

Facebook has just confirmed this.

The voiceover mentioned something about it being yesterday. Can't recall the actual wording though.

Anyone remember Milford's game against the Titans at skilled last year? Best game he's played in his short career hands down. Some freakish passes and runs with the ball, please repeat milfo

Not sure if this will work but do you mean this game?

Reed up against Roberts could be bad for us. If the titans are smart Roberts will get the ball at least once every set in our half.

Good huh! Great FB play from the back and coming up into the line at the right time. Nothing like a FB who is also a great 2nd 5/8 in your side.

I'm looking forward to Kahu doing it more too as he regains his confidence, and his step as mentioned in other posts.

If the titans were smart Roberts would be fullback.
He'd be better than both Zillman and hoff IMO, even though that knowledge is based on little proof.

Nice clip. Some good face balls from milford, but Croker deserves some credit for running good lines for two those plays. Anthony needs a combo with Gillet glen or Copley.

I said the same thing to a mate who supports the Titans last week. He's almost their only attacking weapon and he doesn't get the ball enough. I read the coach has told him to roam and effectively play as a fullback in attack at times, and u can see that worked with his try off the grubber last week, he was actually on the opposite side of the park

 

[Mitch06]

Milford looked a lot quicker in that game than he has been in his last few.

Roberts' is a knuckle head. Huge attacking skill if he gets quality ball or too much space, otherwise nothing. He won't go looking to make things happen.
