Titans got out of jail there.

Bad luck roosters.
Titans don't really look that good when the refs stop giving them penalties to get good field position.

 

[Eelectrica]

Needed a rear shot of Walkers try to be sure. I guess they didn't have one therefor BOD.
Tough luck Roosters. Should have won.

Titans need to address their second half collapses if they want to be a threat in the finals. Not that they're quite yet, but they really should from here.

 

[sass]

They need to look at some of the options they're taking in attack, and how they dropped their guard at the end of the game where a good defensive set would have seen them hold on. Kenny-Dowall was nowhere on that last play, should have known Prince likes to throw that pass.

exactly .... the put-down was amazing but if the roosters were more focussed in the last few minutes and didn't make stupid mistakes the titans never would have been in the position to score the last try.

SIGH.

I wanna give SKD a free pass though because he did so much in the rest of the 80 mins.

god that was a depressing loss. I thought foil fitzy might cry.

What an insipid second half from the Titans, but still there was much to like about the way they played those last two sets. No signs of panic, getting the ball from one end to other and earning the repeat set, then a magnificent put-down from Walker (which he owed his team-mates after the shocker he had the rest of the game). Sometimes you have to find a way to win ugly, and the Titans did that tonight. The jury is still out on whether they are a serious contender, but there are some encouraging signs they can avoid another collapse like the last two seasons.

Rugby League is a cruel mistress.

SKD was good. He popped up everywhere. And i'm pretty sure it was Ben Jones who tried to stop Walker.

Can't it be against someone other than us!!!

 

[Rovelli]

Titans away from Skilled Park - I just don't know - think I saw a stat somewhere that they had lost five in a row in NSW before tonight

I was at Robina on Monday night - please look elsewhere for sympathy. ;-)

yeah it was ... but skd came in too fast I think and created the gap.

 

[Titanic]

We've had our share of last minute losses too, so I commiserate but don't hesitate to take the two points. Game of two different halves.

 

[adamkungl]

the better team lost imo of course... gutted.

Yes it is , I am a little partial to some Dream Theater..

Bad luck roosters , if you had another halfback what could attack instead of one who can only do kicks and bombs and relying on anasta, the roosters probably would had won that game easily.

Get rid of pearce he is only a hindrance to the roosters attack

I can't believe this bloke isn't being mentioned as a possible roughy for the Queensland side.

 

[Timmah]

Roosters unlucky last night, played well enough to win just that last minute miracle from Walker. Things are looking a little better at the Roosters, Artie's helped them no-end, toughness is showing a bit more. Hope they can match it with NQ next week, as much as I hate em.
