Nope it's a two for deal.

The point being the broncos fans were whinging about injuries to their back line in a game they won. Obviously the raiders played like brainless turds but both halfbacks is about the worst injury to cop.

Yep it happened to us last year, and much of the rest of the team as well, and look where we finished. One win behind your mob.

And who were the Titans missing?

C'mon, use your brain mate.

Half and hooker i believe. Ive got no issue saying the titans were the better side on the day but you are pants on the head geniused if you cant see how losing both halves in rd 1 is a massive loss.

Well Titans definitely had 14 on the field when play resumed.

Will be interesting to see what the NRL does here.

I've really not been a fan of his decisions to go for penalty goals recently.

He was a poor choice to begin with. The problem was there were no real better options.

We were attacking too so its not like they can argue it was inconsequential. Obviously we wont get points lol but the titans mignt lose them

Yep, Roberts was right on the wing and Shillington was defending in the middle of the park. If Roberts wasn't there was an option to run down the left.

It makes it all the more frustrating watching a guy like Hodgson busting his arse and getting us into winning positions only for a deadset genius like FPN just f*ck it all up. Obviously there was a lot of stupid stuff but nothing that intentional.

Hes being forced to do everything in attack. We know wighton isnt a ball player but jesus sam and jack try something. The other option is a backrower

Anways now that ive managed to avoid a stress induced heart attack the raiders have serious issues with defensive line speed. We are in slow motion compared to other sides. With the amount of ball we had i reckon at full strength we might have done a bit better but jeez we are the worst in the nrl for pushing up off the line.

Titans were very good mind. Especially on their own goaline

Yep. And Leilua and FPN are proving me right. We'll probably try to sign packer next.

BJ is verging on acceptable dumb imo. If he could manage to not get suspended all the time i think his output has been pretty good for us. A few of his runs against the panthers probably won us thr game.,im fine with dumb football players. Fergo was one of my favourite. Its not fpn dumbness but his poor output on top of it.

As i said when we signed paulo though he was the best prop on the market and we needed one. Do you think we should sign a less good white player.

There's dumb, and then there's dumb thugs. We're leaning towards the latter unfortunately. It's a shame to see a proud team start to look like the eels or Knights.

As for who we should sign - no one. Bring a local up. Front towers are dime a dozen. We wasted money on front rowers for far too long. White, TLL, shillo - all white, all far too expensive for what we got in return.

We have the spine locked up and a bunch of important players. Why not sign a good prop if ones available lol. I would always lean towards signing the best players possible if the space is available. Paulo will just be a straight swap for fpn or lima anyway so dont worry we wont be up a brown person

Excellent.
