You little beauty!

 

[no name]

I won't say they're back, but that was a great win by the Titans tonight.

Really hung in there after a diabolical start. They need to back it up next week.

 

[Light Reflections]

Yes, Titans needed that win. Tigers were flat tonight.

 

[Apey]

lol FMD as soon I saw it was even with a few minutes to go I knew i'd lose the tip

 

[Charles Bronson]

not watching this commercialfest

can we get some cliff notes?

 

[gronkathon]

Just sh*thouse from the Tigers.

Sheens will never learn. Tim Moltzen is the single most gutless fullback to ever take the field yet he still plays him there. Marshall looked like he was being kept on a leash by tactics and Sheens replaces a prop on the bench with a f**king 89kg backrower and uses only two bench players. What an absolute genius.

That said the Titans got away with literally laying flat in the PTB area all night and slowed down the PTB and not one penalty was blown for it.

 

[Jason Maher]

Come on now. Do you think dragons wouldnt have taken that penalty kick ?

Of course we bloody would have. And the usual suspects would have bagged us for it. I'm a bit over the constant whinging about penalty goals and tries from kicks. Both have always been part of rugby league. One particular wanker Tigers fan (no doubt stil bitter over the preliminary final) trolls every Dragons match thread just to bag us for scoring from kicks. So call me immature (no revelation there), but I couldn't resist an opportunity to return serve.

Anyway, well done to the Tits. They were less sh*t than the Tigpies for most of the match.

 

[Big Pete]

Tigers are generally terrible to watch, can't believe people talk them up as such an entertaining side.

Glad the Tits won, I was worried the Tigers would come up with their usual arsey win. Otherwise a really poor rugged game.

Cliff notes version of the game
- Tigers own for the first 20 minutes
- Coast come back and take 60 minutes to put the Tigers out of their misery.

Utai has the biggest falcon you'll ever see.

That's it.

Didn't watch the game?
:crazy:

 

[gronkathon]

Yeah on live stream. Second half Friend, Bird etc literall stretching out as flat as a board at the PTB and players had to step sideways to avoid them. Thats a penalty every day of the week but the morons blew the pea out of the whistle in the first half and were gun shy in the second.

All this said the game was lost as soon as Sheens put Moltzen to fullback

Try to ignore Vossy's orgasm at this point.

Was hilarious but he overdoes it, as usual.

 

[Big Pete]

Yep, Vossy does ruin the moment somewhat.

Still a beaut.

Otherwise forgettable game as a general viewer.

 

[skeepe]

Titans games are always so boring for a neutral.

Happy with the Heighington try, but thought it was clear as day Zillman knocked the ball forward into Moltzen for his first.

Geez skeep-o vision must be a hell of a trip.

 

[no name]

Heighington def got contact on the ball, knock on.

Zillman's was much less dubious than Heighington's.

You'd be glad to see Zilly back in good try scoring form wouldn't you Skeepey?

 

[Big Pete]

Zillman still had some element of control when claiming the ball for me, easily a BotD try.

Giving Heighno BotD was stretching it to it's fullest. Nearly as much as they did for Folau against the Chooks last year.

 

[Tom155]

please CH's try was a clear try didnt touch it at all & Zillman clearly lost control of it should have been no try

 

[Geohood]

CH touched the ball with his left hand barely, but he still touched it IMO...

And Zillman kinda half smothered it in a try that we see given all the time so there was no issue there.

 

[jimmythehand]

is it just me or did anybody else smell a rat?

 

[Big Pete]

That's how I saw it Geohood.

The way the ball moved in the Heighno try suggested there were two types of contact, the initial contact from Capewell and then another faint touch from Heighno. I can live with it but it's still very dodgy.

Zillman still had a carry on that ball in the air and while very loose was rightly awarded a try.

Tonight's game is further proof that 9 should give us the choice to watch either the Qld or Sydney game.
