I have never gotten over the disrespect shown by the Warrior Fans in the disrespectful behaviour they displayed when asked to be silent for a few moments after David Mead’s Dad passed away.
Also I don’t recall us ever beating the Warriors at home, certainly not with me in attendance and their fans really rub our noses in it when it’s clear they have it wrapped up.
It’s becoming a sh*t sandwich this season and I’m not ruling out yet the possibility of us getting the wooden spoon.
Gee it would mean a lot to me if we won this one.
The Knights showed that a flat pass on our goal line to a hard running big guy is lethal against us.
NZ through Luke and all their athletic big guys have those ingredients in spades.
Brennan and our team desperately need to address this.

i don't think we will get spoon bods, the teams below who have won 3 all year would need to win 3 from 6 which i cant see one of them doing let alone two. and that's if we are win less on the road home.
Funny you say you don't recall us winning there because in refreshing you i will put out one flame and enrage another - LG went sick scoring 2 i think, set up another 2 or 3 and we won in a high scoring game where they came back late.
I just want to see improvement, commitment to some sort of game plan and a little bit of respect for our jersey.

^^^^ really??? How can I not remember this. I believe you I’m just stunned I don’t recall it.
Does anyone else remember this?? Wonder how we can look up the history of games between us and them at Robina
PS would really appreciate someone posting evidence or a link to our last win at Robina against NZ if there ever was one.

Sorry Bods, i thought you meant away from home. we did that over there. sorry i misread it somehow.
although we did beat them at least once i can recall, in the first semi of 2010 to gain a week off before facing the Roosters in the GF qualifier.

Good to see latu dropped. I felt watching live he was responsible for the last try the Knights scored to win the game. Ball went 2 wide of the ptb he stopped / slowed his run then realised he made a mistake once they passed back inside and was half a metre short of making the tackle. Game was at 24-24 and we're defending on our line.

Agree he was looking better but still has these lazy parts of his game, especially in defence.
My only concern is replacing him with Matthews who shouldn't even be in first grade. Bring Boyle in.

What the hell is going on with Boyle?? On recent selection evidence Latu, Matthews and Whitbread are all ahead of him. A year ago when he signed a new contract we were doing cartwheels about him.

his form for Burleigh hasn't really warranted selection IMO

And that in itself is puzzling. The guy should have come on in leaps and bounds and he’s floundering.

You can't make this stuff up.

Taken from the Courier Mail article....
THE NRL has left itself open to more claims of nepotism by sacking two officials from the Canberra Raiders-Cronulla Sharks refereeing debacle but retaining Gerard Sutton in first grade.
Sutton, the brother of referees boss Bernie Sutton, has had a slight demotion to handle the New Zealand v Gold Coast game despite the fact he ignored a touch judge’s flag and refused to stop the game.
If you don't laugh you'll break something.

^^^ yeah and Sutton was the referee when we were robbed in that semi final against the Drongoes in 2016
He’s an absolute cheat and it’s a disgrace we have to cop him

There is a limit and that’s it! Whoever said that should apologize to both the Titans and the Warriors. That’s totally uncalled for and any spin on ‘I was referring to the scheduling priorities’ just won’t wash. What an ar$ehole.

Brennan at his press conference today once again dropped his “we’re a young side” line. He’s now offering excuses pre-game. I don’t like it. He’s covering his bum with this mantra.
