Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Gold Coast @ Cbus Super Stadium, Robina / Yugambeh

[Nutz]

I'm hoping that we'll see a rampaging Stefano Utoikamanu tonight. He needs to really show what he's made of.
During his development there weren't many better than the ute but he's been a bit disappointing since resigning. (taking injury into account)
He was great in the Cowboys shellacking but we need more from the big fella.
I hope Sheens has had the boys training hard in defusing bombs because with our improved "D" opposition are resorting to bombs to score.
The boys must get the arms up high when opposition players are attacking their bombs. Because the defender usually gets outleaped due to momentum if they try to catch the ball normally it's all over. We must get bodies around the catcher too.
Our poor kick chase has been highlighted in the media and it's so true. We can't win running on our heals.
Nevertheless, I'm expecting a good win today...+13

 

[Nutz]

Be positive, we've got this. I need the +13 result to pay the rent

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

This is a game we should win running away.

I'd be shocked if the game plan wasn't centred around trying to target and isolate some of our bigger guys running at Campbell all night long. A nice mix of hard running lines and turning it inside to Bula on the charge would be good.

As long as we contain them in the 1st half the mental demons will hit them during the half time break. Go tigers!

 

[Nutz]

I'd rather be leading at halftime than just contain them. I'm sick of trying to come back like the last game....not good for my health.

You must’ve been living in a tent the last decade then hahaha

Surely... SURELY this has to be the game plan. Stefano, Klem, Bateman and Ipap all charging at him all game.

Yeah, we’re travelling for 3 months atm, great way to live.

Good for you cobber, I envy you guys.
We had to give it away due health reasons. Gee I miss it.
We never got better to fullfill our dream of travelling around Oz, however our little cameo trips were awesome.
My missus finally worked out why I always wanted to get back home by Thursday..any guesses?

 

[Nutz]

Has anyone got latemail on whether Stef is definitely playing, apparently he missed training due to a knock he received late in last week's game.

 

[Nutz]

The Gold Coast may have won their past four games against the Wests Tigers but at least the Gold, Black and White still have the wood on them, well at least the wooden spoon that is.
I believe the Titans got the spoon in 2011 and 2019. (Keep that one up our sleeve for ammo in case we need it later on)
Noffa seems to find the white stripe every time he plays the Titans. A few more tries tonight might help him secure a new contract....with whom though

 

[Perth Tiger]

Talau having a mare. I would rather have a Naden for three or four weeks before he is suspended again than Talau’s missed tackles and drops

Yep. Absolute shocker in every way.

 

[simmo1]

Talau is horrible. Drop balls, missed tackles and never passes to Tupou. Wish he'd f**k off to Manly.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Talau is going that bad it's almost mavin-esque. Shit we were average. The only saving grace is that if possession turns around we're only 10 behind.

We'd have to prove out of sight in the 2nd half though

 

[simmo1]

I like that we are trying Bateman in the middle, but why did we move Papalii to the right as well. Just completely ruins any combinations we had.

 

[Das Hassler]

The energy walked off with Api

 

[Das Hassler]

His first hit up of the second half and Tino lifts his forearm into Pole's neck

 

[Ned Kelly]

This is a total nightmare.

 

[Ned Kelly]

To use a fatty quote This is a mistakeathon.

Wooden spoon is not out of the question after all.
