Round 12 | Knights 14-24 Titans @ Hunter | Sat 5.30pm

[Yosh]

Very unhappy Hilder has kept his place over Adams... I would love to have seen Adams given another crack at the interchange spot..

 

[IanG]

Saturday 5:30 Pm is a gate take killer. Hate this time. Too many families still running around with sports and shopping on saturday evening and as a result are to busy to attend. That whinge aside this game is traditionally open and a good watch so it should be a close one.

I hear ya'. Like yourself for Night games I prefer the 7:30pm Kick Off One up side is I don't ahve to choose between the game and a mate's birthday party. I'll be able to go to both.


Also Darius will have no excuses for not having a blinder on Saturday Night

 

[Jobdog]

All three Titans origin reps and Prince cleared to take their places tomorrow night.

 

[The Showstopper]

Darius was on the end of two stellar try setups on Wednesday night. Hopefully he will show his confidence is back. Last two weeks look like he is mentally back where he belongs.

Last I heard prince was a very very slim chance.. I predict he will break down in the first half.

Bird had a monster game on wednesday so hopefully he is flat tomorrow night.

 

[Jobdog]

Yeah was a bit surprised when I found out he was playing.

 

[Spot On]

Yes apparently Prince is a big chance to play.

 

[perverse]

I don't know if you are using that as a figure of speech or being serious but that's a big call to make if you are being serious.

If anything, I think Sau should be used like Tony Williams. He is too one dimensional and we aren't utilizing his best attributes. I wouldn't even use him every game. He'd be a tactical player who would be used in the squad rotation policy for games against teams who have outside backs who can't defend very well. Bring him on the last 15 minutes of each half and get him running decoys and lines off our halves straight at centres. Thats the answer.

I purely meant it in the respect that he would deserve to be picked by NZ. i wouldn't invent a position for him, he can be a centre. what's wrong with trying to train a player into a position that actually exists? players do have the capacity to learn, particularly when they're willing and motivated. not every player needs to be everything we need from them in their current state. it's especially the case with our squad.

 

[The Showstopper]

Junior has improved his game remarkably this season. I think Wayne knows exactly what he wants from him and the limits of Jnrs game are not as restricted as we have come to expect. In fact he could prove to be quite the weapon.

 

[Jobdog]

Yes apparently Prince is a big chance to play.

He's more than a big chance of playing ... he is playing. That's what the Titans twitter said yesterday arvo ...

 

[Jobdog]

#NRL late mail - #NRLnewgld Knights have Uate in doubt (head). Boyd OK, Buderus OK. Titans all 3 #origin stars clear to play, Prince to play

The game is meant to evolve. You're right though, if anything he should probably play centre but I highly doubt he'll become anything special. I hope i'm wrong though...

He's still mediocre despite all the supposed improvements

 

[Johns Magic]

Yeah I struggle to see how he has actually improved at all this year. And I don't see why he is being touted as a player Bennett obviously sees a lot of potential in. It has taken injuries and a horrendous spot of form from Naiqama for him to get a look in.

I think he's seen as the best of a bad bunch at the moment more than anything else.

 

[aqua_duck]

This NYC performance so far has been beyond pathetic

 

[Tom155]

agreed they were terrible, extremley lucky to win

 

[Whats Doing]

Not playing as well as they were earlier in the season.
( The titans under 20's are second last and have been playing like that all season)

 

[Tom155]

one change edwards starting, zeb to the bench

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

sau sets up Uate, gotta be a first!

 

[Johns Magic]

Ha, I think I would have screamed if he didn't pass that.
