What do the Gold Coast bring?

[Colk]

Watching them tonight they've get talent but are a bit soft in defence.

That’s definitely their biggest problem. That’s why you need to recruit some workhorses and hard nosed players just to give them more of an edge.

They have enough blokes who can score points they just need some more toughness and fighting qualities.

 

[Colk]

@Colk i think you’re right, it’s an easy fix to sack the coach but much like the Warriors or Tigers, a change of coach doesn’t necessarily bring results. A decent medium to long term plan needs to be in place and stick to it

Thanks Diesel. I occasionally make sense. The similarities just seem pretty strong. They need some toughness and experience. Foran will hopefully bring some of that for them but they need a couple more.

The defence is a shambles and has been since Brennan’s time.
Haven’t heard great things about the amount of time they spend on defence at training or the set up they use to work on defence.

 

[Generalzod]

Nearly 6 million people, nine clubs. Do the maths.
Cronulla are sitting in third and can’t get more fans than titans when they’re playing another sydney club!

I think you should be telling the truth here, this is due to the redevelopment....

What will the capacity be when it is finished? I find it strange that a club sitting third are happy to be playing at a stadium which only holds 11-12k at the moment

When I think of the Gold Coast I think of the mighty General Nediym winning the Magic Millions in delicious fashion

Yeah that’s about right. Who is your defensive coach btw.

is it though?
2017 (fresh of a GF win the previous season) Cronulla finish 5th, Titans 15th. Titans bigger crowd avg
2018 Cronulla finished 4th, Titans 14th. Titans bigger crowd avg.

Was Dymock, but he got the arse.
I don’t think he had full control of the defensive system anyway.

Still a fun thread to read with a coffee in hand. I would say the Gold Coast brings 2 points to the opposition but my bunch of shit merkins can't even beat them.

haha, GC get bigger crowds despite terrible form. That's the facts and it aint got anything to do with Shark parks current capacity, as you claimed.
To say kick GC out because of crowds is nonsensical unless we are going to apply the same criteria to other clubs with worse crowds, like the Sharks

Not by alot, according to the statistics...

tbf though if titans were sat in 4th and 5th and sharks in 14th and 15th it probably would be.

 

[myrrh ken]

The GC brings a bit of insight into what happens when expansion doesn't work.
