So if the Titans come out and absolutely brain it and look like a completely different team without JH and win by 30+, it'll look a little silly turfing Henry on Friday.... wouldn't it?

Anyways, it's a big if.... Hoping we pile more misery on them and win handsomely and get our shit back together....

Well they did do that at the start of the season. That was another embarrassing performance from us last night.

Losing to the titans tomorrow is unacceptable

Agreed.

People can talk about the Dragons downward spiral from the top 8 as proof that they were nowhere near as good as their ladder position indicated and they benefited from an easy draw to open the year... But if we end up dropping successive games V the Knights and Titans, then the same innuendo can start to be directed our way...

EDIT - injuries have affected us more than the likes of the Dragons though, that needs to be acknowledged

We still beat Brisbane three weeks ago with the team we're going to put on the field tomorrow night. We can't really use injuries as an excuse if we get beaten by the Titans.

Agree with that...

The question is - which form represents the misnomer? The resilient and well executed game V the Boncos, or the one lacking focus and riddled with mistakes V the Knights? When you put these 2 games next to other recent performances where we've scraped home by 1 point V the Tigers and the Dogs I'm not 100% sure.... Tomorrow night's game/result will hopefully provide me an answer either way...

Realistically we should paste the Titans if we're fair dinkum....

No Hayne
Taylor and Elgey allegedly leading a revolt against the coach
Smacked in consecutive weeks
Nothing to play for
Huge injury toll over the season leaving them gassed at this time of the year

So naturally it's got all the hallmarks of a game Parramatta historically lose.

The Broncos game just proves that this mob has zero excuses for being able to get the job done in any given match and anything less isn't really acceptable at this stage of the season.

I just hope that BA took a different tact this week than he usually does when playing a bottom side, cause whatever he was doing doesn't work, it gets them in the wrong mindset.

He needs to really get up them and have them treat this game like a semi, we really need this one.

Hopefully last week was just "The loss we had to have".
