Titans wasting their time driving to the airport.

[Warrimoo3]

Titans have proven to be a tricky opposition for the Warriors in the last few years. And their forwards might all lift with Tino out. And they’ll haven’t been far away recently.And they’ll all want to have a long hot shower after the game without being interrupted.

Banana skin game for the Warriors even though Des has lost the dressing room.

Titans to respond to Dessy losing his shit.

Wahs 50-4

 

[Warrimoo3]

This sums up Des’ coaching career :

 

[Warrimoo3]

The Titans have indeed been well and truly under the radar this year. Like a Fokker Friendship stalled on the runway waiting to take off.

Mate, every game is a banana skin game for the Warriors, we are well accustomed to subverting expectations

I just hope we remember 66-6 and don't get all "Leka will save us" again!

Jeez, I just long for the no-heart-attack games again, like that Sharks one a couple of months back. Sorry Titans, but I hope we absolutely annihilate you for the good of my emotional wellbeing, I was feeling rough on Sunday night even with the last minute WTF-just-happened win hah!

The Warriors are a different beast this year. More likely to win the grind. And their fans bring a great buzz to the game. Just need to do something about their right side defence otherwise it’s going to get shredded in the finals.

The Titans play with great width in attack. And Campbell has been in great form. That 20m left to right pass to put DeGroot in for the opening try last week was a thing of beauty. Nobody else in the NRL could have thrown that apart from Katoa . Not even Lachie. If Galvin’s pass last week was a 7 out of ten , Campbell’s was a ten. And his cross kick to DeGroot was just as good. But you wouldn’t have read about that anywhere in the media.

Pencil in tries to Kelly/Sami/DeGroot /Jojo Fifita for the Titans .Jojo Fifita has some serious wheels . Chris Randall for anytime tryscorer. Has looked good recently .For the Warriors RTS will like his chances against DeGroot and DWZ might score either from a cross field kick or as a result of Kelly rushing up out of the defensive line and leaving a hole.

Titans going to respond or not?

Des should shut off the hot water if these bozos dont stand to today.

Des hasn't lost the dressing room. He's lost the shower room. The players have lost the dressing room.

 

[Meth]

Titans are a banana skin for us. I think I heard they've won 5 of the last 6 against us.

 

[Fangs]

66-6 last year at Cbus. Warriors might seek retribution here.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Titans are a banana skin for us. I think I heard they've won 5 of the last 6 against us.

Probably because the Titans play the width of the field and the Warriors like to compress their defence.

 

[Warrimoo3]

That BIC Mac is looking really small in the hands of Tallis

 

[Warrimoo3]

Apparently it’s Des’ 500th match if you didn’t know.

 

[mongoose]

what is 'top blokes'

 

[Warrimoo3]

So many empty seats in the stand.
