The Titans have plenty of strike power in them, but if we turn up with today's attitude it should turn into a pretty competitive game.

It's their last home game and I'm sure they want to send their fans home happy with their performance.

Titans 32 - 20.

 

[Nuke]

It'd be nice to get a win, wouldn't it?!
Up the Knights!

 

[Zoidberg]

This might be one of the most lol inducing games of the year.
Could have half the game with both sides competing well, with good sets and strong defence, the other half could be a circus.

 

[Yosh]

Why don't we try Jesse Southwell at 7 for the men's. Literally can't be worse than Clune.

 

[Old dog]

Why couldn’t the Cup and Flegg v Parra have been played Fri/Sat at same ground for both sides fans

Titans at CBUS?

Titans by 200

I considered driving down for this one at halftime yesterday even had tickets in my cart for the kids too.

Fun fact. I've never seen us win live at CBUS. 2015 was our last win there. Only surviving player from that game is Gags.

I wasn’t at that game but I remember it. From memory we went on a 4 March losing streak straight after that win then went onto get the spoon at the end of the year.

 

[Zoidberg]

I was at that game and yeah, that was just before the start of the dark times of 3 spoons.
Just looked at our games that season and we won our first 4, then only 4 more for the rest of the year. We actually beat Cowboys (eventual premiers) and Storm (in Melb). If we happen to win our final 2 games this year, it will be the same amount of wins as that spoon year.

That year is the reason I struggled to have any enthusiasm after our first 2 games this year. We've seen it all before. It's the same old shit. Hell, there was even the year we lost Smith as coach when we were flying in the top 4 mid year and meekly limped into the finals.

This club has a lot to prove to me before I ever bother getting my hopes up again. Until then, they've earned my skepticism imo. We always find a way to shit the bed.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Jesse Southwell to train with the squad and teach them how to have fun.

 

[Knight Tales]

Channel 9 must have drawn the short straw this round. This could be lowest rated game of the year.

Has Gagai and Maps swapped sides, I thought Gagai was inside Young last week?

Just the numbers I’d imagine. Both edges looked good in attack on Sunday not point swapping them.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Enough with the Hotel Delaney rumours, already!

 

[Old dog]

If I remember rightly Lee got the 2 jumper despite playing left wing and it has stuck, might have been back in his first game so team generally reads 1, 5, 3, 4, 2 across backline

 

[Loose Cannon]

Most centres/wingers/edges stick with the same number regardless if it matches their same-side teammates. Hasn’t been any uniformity in numbering for years.

 

[Jono078]

Like why are we persisting with Crossland?

He's not even contracted for next year and he's offering f**k all right now.

Really wish AOB would experiment a little more and give someone else a go there..
