Round 6 - Titans v Broncos - Post Match Discussion

[Unbreakable]

so just let me get this straight ... you want Kodi Nikorima,, the player not good enough to be 5/8 in the 20s (if he was he would have played there) to be the NRL 5/8.

he played alright in the 9s with less players on the field and he still hogged the ball as much as Hoffman does.

if anyone is going to replace Hoffman it has to be Duncan P. he is in the best position to do it

We all know you're a Hoffman fan Foordy, which is fine, but it's honestly at the point where I would take ANY of the NYC and most of the QCUP Five-Eights over him at the moment.

Paia'aua, Strasser, K/J.Nikorima, Kahu (On one leg).. just someone other than Hoffman..

 

[Rabbir]

I really want to take the day off work and go down to training and give Griffin a piece of my mind. Won't achieve anything and I'll probably get kicked off the premise but I don't care.

Stupid fucking useless slow talking dimwit. I can't stand him. But hey, we are 50-50 so no need for changes then.

I would go through why I hate Josh Hoffman and give examples of the last 5 years of why he's a worthless asshole but I couldn't be bothered. Can't even fucking pass the ball. Does he have a brain? Never registers in his fucking idiotic, self entitled head that with 5 minutes to go and needing a try he should pass it? He must have had a concussion against the Roosters.

 

[Brocko]

Changes should be made.

Maranta was dropped and he was one of our better performers in the early rounds.

Why should under performing backs not be replaced by Maranta when he has had his best few games for us this year?

I have said this before but in case people missed it i will say it again ... I don't want Hoffman as our 5/8. I just don't see the point in rushing our young halves into first grade before they are ready. especially as i don't see us as a genuine premiership threat this season.

FTR, I am a Hoffman fan, when he plays on the wing/center

just because Hoffman is a terrible option at 5/8 doesn't necessarily mean he isn't our best option.

I wonder if Ayoub told Broncos management that Milford had an iron clad release clause in his contract and that is the reason the allowed Wallace and Prince to leave

Hodges is F'ing useless. 3 knock ons and 2 shit hand over passes. The 2 or 3 times he didn't **** up and drop the ball he only made about 5 metres.

BRING BACK MARANTA (-:

I'm sorry to all the hodges lovers out there but he just needs to retire. Offers nothing.

 

[ANT_GTV6]

IMO i thought reed improved. Thaiday, Mcguire, Glenn, Gillett were good. Hodges was 50/50 half his runs made good metres but then the other runs he dropped some ball.

Who is this Kennedy fellow? I hope Dodds is back soon.

Im willing to give Hoff some more time at 5/8th. Barba needs some confidence which i think will come with time just not as quick as some of us hope. Maranta would be nice to have back for some safety under the high ball if Barba is struggling with injury.

1. Barba
2. Vidot
3. Reed
4. Hodges
5. Copley
6. Hoffman
7. Hunt
8. Mcguire
9. Mcullough
10. Hannant
11. Gillett
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Glenn
15. Hala
16. Kennedy/Dodds when hes back
17. Oates

Parker to front row after Hannant goes off. Gillett to lock. Glenn to second row. I just hope Griffin uses the whole bench.

Im not for wholesale change just minor tweeks. It was a stressful game to watch, alot of dropped ball by us

what time do they train and where do you want to meet ?

 

[DropBear]

Of course there wont be any changes ..... Griffin will plough on ahead as usual.

Fucking pathetic really !!

Kahu is likely back... Sure he will slot in somewhere and the reshuffle will be interesting.

 

[JMG87]

Proud of the defence for the majority of the game. Attacking though we're playing like a bunch of nancies. We got no mongrel in us. What happened to the footy we were playing the few games of the season

Please... Hodges had an off game, that's all. Match fitness plays apart of that.

 

[Nashy]

Hodges. What a game!
Barba. You little rippa!

 

[nopatience101]

The last couple of weeks you can almost see them hit a wall during games where they are on top and manage to blow it.

They started very flat with a terrible set and it really setup the mood for the rest of the game.

The use of only 16 players is starting to get old, Oates could have added some much needed impact off the bench.

The ruck hasn't been as quick as the Broncos probably would have liked the last couple of weeks and its hurting our go forward.


Titans aren't world beaters but they are resilient.

 

[Rabbir]

I was joking.

I'm not best buds with the boss so unfortunately I have some standards to adhere to.

Griffin doesn't though.

 

[winslow_wong]

if Hoffman can't play 5/8 then he can't play centre. twat just won't pass. his only position is wing or nothing.

 

[DropBear]

I really want to take the day off work and go down to training and give Griffin a piece of my mind.

Yep sure that will turn it all around.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Its not Hoffmans fault, he is filling a position, he has clearly being told just concentrate on running, its griffinball....... passing is not permitted only one out running.

 

[Bull Shark]

I was joking.

so was I

 

[mrslong]

I don't fault Griffin for these losses.

I would have pulled Barba after second Titans try.

Oates to right centre, Hodges fullback.

You don't blame griffin? We were leading with 10 to go. Fatigue got us, thaiday was hooked and we didn't use Oates. Whose fault is that then if not the coach..
