I agree with Macca that we blood players too early and I think that’s because they sign with us under those conditions. We just don’t have or haven’t until now had the creds to build a talent pool eg Pahulu: play me, pay me or I’m off.

Ok so the inevitable regarding the Great Wall of PNG has been confirmed and the debate will really heat up now. Here are ten considerations: 1. Can they recruit quality players/staff or only beaten-up hacks? 2. Can they develop local players in sufficient numbers and of competitive quality...

Yes they are our ultimate enemy but helping young people with how to deal with behavioural issues transcends sporting boundaries, imo. Also, the fact that he works for the Titans has been tagged within each article I've seen, which in itself places us in a good light. I wouldn't begrudge Presto...

NRL 2025 Season Observations 1. The NRL have really got their act together for Vegas '25. The Gronk promo is pretty impressive. 2. Looking through the clubs' new jerseys...

Won’t be bullied nor be thrown under the media bus by commission agents … the Club mightn’t be perfect but in what world does anybody think they can get what they want by publicly ridiculing their employer? That pissant amount of money won’t go anywhere in Sydney so it would seem Gus had done...

Yes I like it too ... toe in the water involvement for JTS, development for up and comers and t&t's for those a bit further along the journey.

As John Cleese would say: “well spotted Bruce”.

Fox has published this today with all clubs t&t players but it may not be complete. Both Ipswich and Tweed players are listed: TITANS Cooper Bai, Brock Gray, Sean Mullany, Josh Patston (Ipswich), Luke Burton (Tweed Heads), Jayden Wright (Tweed Heads), Kieran Hayman (Tweed Heads), Ethan...

Yes good point. It's a beat-up. He has painted himself as the victim to get out of the last year of his contract. Des obviously had other priorities. Mat Rogers spills the beans in new insight into Josiah Pahulu drama at Gold Coast Titans at 3rillszone.com JON HARDY DECEMBER 5, 2024...

There was a time when "red zone" indicated the level of agitation you reached before clocking someone.

Thanks for sharing this mdrew and I note that you classify back row as back row rather than edge and middle forwards ... thank heavens :)

Quite impressed by that against questionable opposition but has utility skills, good vision, seems to know how to dig into the line and put men away ... no idea if he can tackle though lol.

For what it’s worth. According to our own forum game threads: Round 25 rested due to abductor injury without a murmur from anybody except MT; Round 26 picked in #14 without a mention from anybody during the game and stats of 13mins, 31m and 12/1 tackles; Round 27 not selected and although Hungry...

That’s my assessment too Cow. He is a small forward with potential that we have invested in and he should be biding his time in the pecking order. Everybody sees him as a star and I hope that’s how he evolves but right now he is a kid learning his trade. His biggest danger is getting left at the...

Gus has been exploiting players and manipulating the system since the year dot, it's about time somebody manipulated his dot.

My gut says that his family rather than him have pushed or have been pushed by the agent. From my experience, emerging players are more concerned about building their reputations and not annoying the hierarchy while family see a pay package. He’s training with the group and I feel for him.

@Swoop: all those combinations align with a logic that, until now at least, has side-stepped the Club. Blind Freddy and the Ray Charles birdwatchers could have selected teams over the last decade to finish better than we have. For what it’s worth, I reckon 2025 is going to be more of the same...

Welcome to the forum Swoop, 2025 looms as another year of hope … can’t believe I typed that before Christmas. Let’s hope Santa get off his sled, drops a few kgs and slides into that centre role.

You’d have to assume Hau got something so the bite isn’t 40k except to Pahulu. This is a selection decision and probably not a well considered one but blaming the owners? Birdy you’re certainly right about jersey designs.

What’s crazy is here :)
