2026 R1 Sat - Cronulla 50-10 Gold Coast @ Ocean Protect

[James Rick]

Titans do they add value to the NRL?

Titans maintain a Rugby League presence at the highest level on the Gold Coast which is an area the AFL are throwing the kitchen sink at in their best attempts to take over. If the NRL get rid of the Titans and have no team on the Gold Coast they'll basically hand the AFL the keys to the city.

Toss up for the best player for the 3 2 1.

In the end I have Trindall the 2 and had to give Lachlan Galvin the 3

Billy Slater gets 1. Just shaded Kennedy and Ramien.

If I were a Titans fan I'd feel bloody sick watching the players hugging and back-slapping the opposition on the final whistle after a loss like that. Does anybody care at all ?

It is a strange psychology. If I get pumped in a pool competition fixture, that upsets me. I'll shake hands and not act like a petulant fool. But, losing badly is not a good feeling.
I think a lot of players genuinely treat the game like a full time job and not a passion by the time they get upto NRL level. The only time you see players genuinely upset is when they lose an origin, international or finals game.

Good luck Titans. You'll have to beat the 13 on the field plus the man in the middle, the 2 on either side of it and the bunker.

And the block of cement between your ears

The Titans offer nothing to the NRL

Not entirely true.
They serve as an example of what happens when you have a team with no heart, no passion and no pride in their performance.

All the over hyped teams in the off season (eels, titans, roosters) having shockers to start the year.
