Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Titans @ Suncorp Stadium

[The unknown]

The 'experts' are tipping the Tigers, Tiger supporters know better though, we recall games where we could have and should have but simply didn't. Plus there's the fact that,

The Titans have won five of their past seven games against Wests Tigers.

I read somewhere we’ve won our last 5/7 games against them in Queersland though, for some reason we struggle in Sydney

2018 Rd 16 loss - Leichhardt
2017 Rd 16 loss - Campbelltown
2016 Rd 3 loss - CBUS

2015 Rd 1 win - CBUS
2015 Rd 13 loss - Leichhardt
2014 Rd 2 win - CBUS

Fox League talent give their predictions for Round 4

We are in trouble, the whole bunch have picked us. Only Madge can save us now.

Man some of those were so disappointing, particularly the home losses. The 2016 one at Campbelltown was essentially an 8th place play off. Moses missed a penalty right in front 20m out late, then Hayne kicked the field goal on full time. The 2018 at Leichhardt was Farah’s return game, packed house, pretty ordinary Titans side and of course we shit the bed and got belted.

but a lot of little things went their way at crucial times.

They did . I suppose can say that’s mostly because of the pressure we were applying. Some luck as well. Actually probably a lot of luck but that’s ok

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

As you have all pointed out we should win and win well if we want to have a serious run at the finals. We should win 13+, but...........

I wasn't aware the recent history was so poor. I should of, but didn't. Thanks for the stats OTT.

What really scares me is the nightclubs have been closed, as has tourism. The Titans haven't been out chasing a shag, getting on the gear and getting blind. Thank f**k the pubs have re-opened. That might save us.

Benji will be the difference. He will chime in a control the game if we start to lose our cool. This will give Brooks the confidence to just play what's in front of him and setup a romping.

I have a feeling BJ is going to have his breakout game for us

 

[simmo05]

Tedesco wouldn’t fit this side.

This side is reaching up together, that’s where the dour resilience is coming from. Joint struggle. Everyone at par in some ways.

It’s why we should tear the Titans into shreds.

A team’s team, like no other in the nrl.

No spats or jealousies. No dickhead zone. Respect.

One game don't make a season. We did get flogged against the knights, and gave up a good lead last week. I live in hope, but Jennings? f**k me, surely Thompson is broken?

 

[simmo05]

If we win this, we make the top 4

 

[WA Tiger]

I’d play Thomson’s under the new rules this weekend just in case he’s Taylor made for them.

Some big guys are going to go out of favour and some little guys in.If we don’t see anything special from him against the Titans then let him go..Id hate for him to be a star after he leaves ...

But the Stefano Transfer for the last spot is also pretty important...I’d still play Thommo this Sunday....Nothing to lose right?

 

[WA Tiger]

All things being equal. I don’t think Madge would let him go for $170k odd per year ...just yet

I thought BJ played pretty dam good last week in the 2nd half, his carries got us on the front foot nearly every time. People aren’t going to be happy until he starts scoring and setting up tries tho

Correct, he did make the statement he was the best (and I believed him) he just hasn't shown it yet.

 

[WA Tiger]

Was he on the field?

 

[The unknown]

Was he on the field?

13 runs, 140 meters, 6 tackle breaks, nah he wasn’t

It will mean Benji has to put two good games together on a Trott..has happened for awhile

 

[WA Tiger]

Nofo might be making Joey L feel inferior on the field after seeing what Nofo can do...might be upsetting his flow...I think Nofo could prob take on some kind of mentoring role...Hahaha

 

[The unknown]

Maybe he could teach him how to play finals..oh

 

[WA Tiger]

Id rate Mbye a top grade kicker. That was a tough kick he nailed when Benji gave up..He seems to nail the long kicks more times than not..I don’t even know if he practices..

 

[WA Tiger]

I’m pretty sure he kicked it ..
