Need to do something about those fade-outs. We look like a championship side at times and then a complete rabble at others. Pretty ordinary reffing again though both for us and against us.

they broncos hate from the ch9 is really wearing thin. they deliberatly ignore shit calls against us and blow up over ones that go our way. its pathetic and unproffessional

 

[Danoz Direct]

We got the win, but we definitely have a lot to improve on.

Was a pretty good game. Titans finally starting to look like a football side. I'm impressed. They just lack the ballplaying and some strikepower a bit. Mead is a tough and courageous runner and tackler, but he's not really a ball player. Bird isn't either anymore. Taylor tried hard, but he's still young and needs backup.

It was a bit disappointing to see use let yet another comeback happen. Parker was very strong as was Roberts again too. Hunt started well, but his last 50 minutes were ordinary again. Milford had his worst game of the year.... which is impressive, since he was far from terrible. Oates seems good for a dropped ball every game, but he's so valuable anyway.

Got the two points, Roberts scored to shut the crowd up, James nearly lost his cool. All in all, a positive gain.

I'm afraid those fade outs happen to coincide with Niko coming on.undeniable impact when he came on but not long after that we are in trouble. I'm not sure where his place in the side is.

I've been saying this for years now, but you can bring him on and still keep McCullough too. Dummy half running is so valuable late in the game, especially with reduced interchanges (probably)

Happy to get the two points but I think Big Pete was on the money about his prediction of the game with what he expected from the Titans and they delivered a real grinding make you win for it effort. For us our slowdown in the second half is a real concern, we worked hard early on in the second half to dominate only to let it down with a lack of concentration, gave them a sniff and they put on two tries quickly.

i have to agree with this i love niko and his excitement he brings more then ever. but honeslty think we are a better well rounded side when macca is on. im sure hes more then capable of playing the full 80.

 

[Broncoman]

Wasn't that much of a performance but we still got the job done. Hope Roberts isn't going to miss any games he was awesome every time he came into play and is really playing to his potential. I didn't think there were to many standouts and there is room for improvement.

I had a successful night at the Leagues club, had a win at the TAB and Roberts has given me $200.

thaidy hamming it up on ch9

kind of a good sign..? lol

Good to see Parker get the square up with a nice cheap shot to James head after the got in Reeds face earlier

 

[Morkel]

Did Erin Molan purchase herself some expanded jumper monkeys?

 

[Unbreakable]

Sloppy performance.

Our forwards played well, McGuire, Parker, Thaiday, Blair. All commendable efforts. Roberts looked dangerous every time he touched the ball. Hunt improved slightly from previous weeks, Milford had his worst game of the year.

I think Wayne needs to give the boys a week off training, we look really tired in the last 20 minutes of games.

 

[Danoz Direct]

One thing I know is that Roberts just needs way more early ball.

I've joined Cult3 in recognizing Maccas efforts and what changes when he is not there.
As others have said Hooker is not Nikos natural position but with reduced interchange I'm not sure how else we can get him some game time.

another question is if niko isnt in side cause we cant use him well who would take his place. another foward perhaps?.

it is all probably mute becuase atm niko is helping us win games so i doubt wayne is moving him any time soon
