2018 R14 Fri - Titans 16-18 Rabbitohs @ Cbus Super

[yobbo84]

First time we've won the penalty count in 6 weeks and only the 5th time alk season, about time we got one go our way.

Honestly the Titans came in with a game plan to smother us - you could've penalised most tackles on our forwards. It nearly worked.

not sure why we bother tbh

whenever we try we get screwed.

if you don't want us in the comp then just kick us out already. f**kwits.

I sympathise, I truly do, but your avatar name is ironic

Our next month: 16th, 13th, bye, 15th. Boy oh boy, we got a lot of wins against top teams and now we get to cash in against the cellar dwellers. If we don't piss the bed we will have top 4 all but sealed after that.

 

[Rabbits20]

Ugly win for Souths, much like Penrith's earlier. However good teams find ways to win while for others they just don't know how to get it done under pressure.

Nailed it!

Absolutely after the calls we've had against us previously this year.

Like Seibs said in the presser the Titans came to slow the ruck down and niggle in there as much as they could and he thought the penalties were justified.

We have been winning and winning and it's natural to be down after such a high against Cronulla last week which was our fifth in a row at that point.

Come end of regular season it doesn't matter how you get the W's. They all count when you're a good chance of a go at the top 4.

I f**king hate this name, but since the admins on here are so anal when it comes to name changes, I'm stuck with it.

The Bunnies past few penalty counts against them have been 8 (8 for), 15 (10 for), 10 (9 for), 8 (8 for).

The Titans past few penalty counts against them have been 11(8 for), 11 (10 for), 10 (10 for), 10 (9 for).

A 13-4 count seems an anomaly amongst these teams.

It’s almost like the refs didn’t realise the teams swapped at halftime when delivering the square ups.

 

[Life's Good]

He's not really taking that next step as one would hope.

He's never had a quality team around him which doesn't help, but still Taylor doesn't show much on field leadership to me.

No doubting his talent but I'm still a little weary as to how good he'll be.

People still talk up his best asset as being his kicking game which isn't a good sign imo. You wanna become a gun running half that takes on the line, not the next Luke Walsh or not to sound too harsh on him, Jamie Soward.

Ok, I’ll bite on Sowie.
I’m sure you meant - A premiership winning, Origin playing Jamie Soward.

Haha well there's that - he had a couple of great years.

But I'm more talking about the Soward that played in a dinner suit. The one who was lightning quick but was anaemic to taking on the line because he didn't like being tackled.

When I think of Soward I think, "fabulous kicking game but could have been much more." I hope Taylor doesn't go down the same path.

And remembering that Taylor is being paid superstar money; not good player money.

The Sowie debate will be for another day.
For now we share similar thoughts on Taylor. I hope he can deliver or he will become another one of the many prodigiously talented ‘nearly, but not quite, men’.

The Titans didn't get a fair go in this match. How many times have I typed these words this season? Several.

If Taylor turns out to be as good as Soward he'll have done all right. A bit rough on one of your junior products from the days when you were so flush with quality kids you could just let them leave. The Gus days.
