Think we can win this if Mullen plays. Titans have a short turnaround and a heap of injuries. If we can play some decent football off 2nd phase play like they did in the 2nd half against the Raiders then we should get over the line.

 

[Spot On]

A few blokes need to pull their fingers out to help the 6, who should be better for the run, if we are to win this.

I really hope Gids is not wearing the 1 this week. He really looked slow last week returning the footy. Put Tyrone on the bench (not sure if Levi is out??) if he has to be displayed for potential buyers and Gids in the 7. Not great but surely Mamo deserves the chance to play the rest of the year at fullback.

 

[aqua_duck]

Gids is just too slow for fullback, all those tries they scored from grubbers, Gids was just a yard too slow every time

 

[Jono078]

Two worst defensive teams going at it, both on average concede over 25 points per game.

Get your money on there being over 48 points scored in this one.

 

[Apey]

One of our (very) last chances to win another game this year so I will probably go to this one. Unless there's the slightest bit of cloud anyway :lol: So difficult to be enthusiastic about our games.

 

[Swarzey]

One of two games we have a chance of winning but Titans will bounce back. Roberts will carve us up and "out of form player A will be played back into form" ala Ben Barba almost every time.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I know the Titans got walloped tonight, but they have shown this year that they can really play for each other unlike us. They have had a lot of injuries this year (still do), but have pulled off some gritty wins against good teams this year and narrowly lost a few by giving their all.

I only really give us a chance against the Tigers, who's attitude is bad like ours.

 

[Jobdog]

If we can't win this they may as well just give us the spoon on Saturday night.

 

[Jono078]

What goes through Stone's head when naming the team?

How would Pat Vaivai feel being named 18th man after arguably being the best forward, perhaps best player of last week...

 

[Sydney Knight]

Titans have just named the same team as last night as usually happens after MNF reports that Elgey and Zillman may be back.

He deserves to be there somewhere but Smith, Snowden and Tapine especially all played better than him on Friday.

 

[Rolla]

Gids is just too slow for fullback, all those tries they scored from grubbers, Gids was just a yard too slow every time

And out of position, and air swinging at the ball. Pace is one of many issues he has

 

[Rolla]

There are invertebrates with better spines than ours.

 

[Wizardman]

Big game for the knights...in a spoon kind of way.

If you win it (which you should), I think you'll avoid the spoon. If you lose (which is entirely f**king possible as the Gold Coast can be gritty), than it is definitely a two horse race between you and the Tigers.

 

[Loose Cannon]

There are invertebrates with better spines than ours.

Zing!

 

[Noname36]

If Gidley ends up playing fullback come Saturday Stone needs to go. It was blatantly obvious last week he's too slow to play fullback now and he made so many errors I'd go as far as saying they made a huge difference to the score line. The Titans players are also much quicker than the Radiers so their outside backs are going to have a field day chasing grubbers with Gids back there.

Move him to halfback and piss off either Roberts or Randall. They're not up to it either.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Hearing House could be a late inclusion for Tapine.. If so, f**k off Stone.

 

[Allstar Knights]

If true than Stone has zero clue about football, or maybe just that it's very clear he picks his mates before anyone no matter what.

Surely Mataora would be the one to drop off, though (which is still ridiculous).

 

[Swarzey]

Ha. Nice troll...

oh wait.

Nobody should be dropped for Houston. Nobody. Ever.
