I agree with some I actually think tonight was probably our best game so far this year. Titans are one of the form sides of the comp and have the current best player in the comp and he was the difference.
I do thought our defence was better. We went down by 8 points in a very close game against a good side, we didn't get flogged. And a couple of tries bombed and they had some crucial plays that were game changing, notables the 40/20 and grothe being trapped in goal.
Timmy must improve but he was better than last week, much better. The grand question with any player is the alternative better. If we do drop timmy, we need to find another guy of first grade standard, for the moment knowing what he can do I would be sticking with him.
Our outside backs each week have fallen foul because they fail to defend together in times of crisis, one goes up one goes back, one stands still. Jeffries showed us they rushed up and in and he got in the way a few times. A classic was hayne missing campbell, TT stayed put, Hayne rushes forward gets stepped and massive problem. Prince scores next play.
Just wonder about Hauraki and Paulo, they are just too slow around ruck. If they make the tackle it is danger for us as marker defence is almost non existent. Their attack is fine, but their defence is why at 23 and 25 they have spent most of their career in lower grades, need to find their feet soon.
But I still think overall much better than last week. If we had won all 4 to this point the criticism would not be so harsh on this performance.
