Anyone see the Titans game as a massive danger game

[Basil Brush]

I know the game is still 3 days away but this games is ringing alarm bells for me.

3 main reasons.

1) Titans will be desperate being 0-2. On the flipside, could we have any possible complacency, especially with their injuries. I doubt it with BA as coach but you never know.

2) 5 day turnaround worries me in terms of preparation. It may mean we rest any forwards with any slight niggles. Thinking possibly Matagi with his concussion.

3) Titans may be more unified without Hayne. They certainly played better last year without Hayne than with him.

To start the season 3-0 would be great, but hopefully the players don't just think this game is in the bag.

 

[Gronk]

I don't see any game to be easy in this comp. Anyone can beat any side on any day.

If you don't turn up and be ready to roll your sleeves up and work for a win, you'll get your pants pulled down.

 

[The Engineers Room]

I like our attitude in the first two games but I agree that this is a danger one. Titans will be keen to show their home fans what they can do.

Yes all 5 of their home fans.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I don't see it as a danger game.

Parra: $1.37
Titans: $3.10

Anyone putting some 'danger money' on the Tits?

 

[forward pass]

I do - we have a pretty poor record against the Titans for some reason. They seem to be our bogey team.

But one thing I will say about this current side, is that they are putting a lot of 'hoo doos' to bed. The one I really want to get rid of is to beat Canberra in Canberra. We have only won there once in 17 f**king years - and that was ten years ago !!

Very tempting.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Tempting, but I think FP summed it up nicely.

This is a different team. Yes we will lose games and have disappointing results at times but I don't see us rolling over and pissing ourselves in games we should win. For the Tits to beat us they will need to play well.

 

[Malabar Eel]

Losing Hayne is in their favour, but we'll smash these muppets.

 

[strider]

13+ for sure

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I saw last game as a danger, but I agree with Gronk every game is a danger no matter how poor the opposition is.

Titans would definitely be desperate chasing their first victory for 2017.

Our attitude under Arthur is good, plus he said there's room for improvement which is a positive.

Hayne not being there probably might help the Titans a little bit, but their halves need to improve from the last game.

 

[Incorrect]

I tipped 1 from 8 last weekend and the Eels are my Lock of the Week for Round 3...

So Yes, Mos Def, this is now a danger game for the Eels....

agree mate

Plus the lure of Melbas nightclub, Movie World and the topless chicks at the beaches

Titans 13+

 

[Oscarman]

We're a powerhouse aren't we? Should be winning these ones.

 

[Snoochies]

NRL owned team, quick someone put Grants face up, Titans in the bag.

 

[hindy111]

5 day turnaround and a sunday night game = poor organising by NRL. It also effected how BA limited our players vs dragons.
All that said unless we have a far superior backline and should be able to win even if not at best due to there injuries. If at full strength id lean to titans.

yeah, nah... huh?

 

[Eelogical]

How the wheel has turned when a team is seen to be stronger when Hayne isn't playing. However, after two rounds the Eels are playing great, relatively injury free and look to be far more driven since I can ever remember. There is purpose and belief and I expect them to put the Titans to the sword. If this is one of those games we are supposed to win then we'll win it.
