Round 22 - Other Games

I'm staggered by the demise of The Plane. He's been back in the game now for 12 months and he's regressed so far since then.

He's biggest issue when he played for Parra was keeping him on the field due to injury or Origin or both. At least when he played he was mostly a gun. He's been nothing short of woeful for the Titans most weeks.
He's not been good but the criticism is mostly over the top. His agility and speed seems down and he's had more than a few brain snaps. The Titans have not gotten their money out of him that's for sure. But he has done plenty of good stuff for them.

One thing the Titans are doing for us is reminding us how good our forwards were against the Donkeys last week.

A player on that sort of money simply needs to be better.

If you watch him closely tonight he's not really interested for mine.

Come on mate. He couldn't run down f**king Corey Oates just now.

But most of us told you he was garbage after two. We must be good judges.
Just a lucky guess. Plenty of people thought Arthur was ordinary after we shit ourselves at the end of 2014 and then ran 12th in 2015. And those were much better squads than 2011-2012.

Most people thought Gutherson and Moses were shit too. Losers think everyone's shit.

If Hayne hasn't destroyed this Titans team I'm not here. They were such an honest, competitive team before he arrived.

My tip is that he will not last at the Titans and may not even be there in 2018.
My tip is he will get paid whether he is there or not. How much of his salary will the Titans subsidise to free up the rest? However much it is he'll hurt them. The last thing they would've wanted this year was for him to take up his 2018 option.

And if he knows that, which he probably would, it would go some way to explaining this shitshow.

I'll put odds on it that The Plane finds himself a minor season ending injury against the Dragqueens next week.

I think that's his strategy. How much do you think the Titans would be willng to pay him to play elsewhere? $600k??

Meanwhile the Tits are trying to keep Ash Taylor.

The only way forward for the Tits is tell Jarryd that he'll be playing for Broadbeach next year and urge him to go play in France. Better still, take Semi's contract at Toulon.

To be honest I doubt The Plane will lose much sleep being on $1.2 million and playing for Broadbeach. He only came back to Australia for the coin after his little mistake in the bedroom...

They're best bet is to offload him and pay some freight.
