Round 27: TITANS vs BULLDOGS (2023)

Discipline and Defence; the two things we just can't get right. Hopefully Des brings some extra mongrel with him.

Was very pleased with Weaver and his kicking game today. Need's to get a bit more involved defensively.

Say what you want about Alick, but he played 3 different positions for us today. Very useful player for us when others went off.

Do not understand why we had Stimson starting...

BK again had a great game (albeit his usual BK moments).

Kini had 28 runs today for 227m. Loved seeing him just run with no fear.

As always, Fifi, Tino and Moe all had great games stat wise (i will forgive Moe's dropped balls on my own bias and love for him). Once Fermor is back in the mix we will again have the big 4 together again.

I personally am sad to see Leeming go. He showed so much pride in our jersey today. Ran for 109m and made the most tackles out of everyone in the team with 31, plus scored a try.

Schoupp should be released by Nov 1, and I will take up some sort of religion to see / make it happen.

Other than that, that's another season in the bag, and we move on towards next season. Hopefully next season we see results and don't give up big leads, and actually fight.
 
If there was ever a moment that will stick with me yesterday was not the 80 minutes of footy it was after in the 10 minutes that people are allowed on the playing field.

After the game the Titans staff put up a small barricade in front of the players tunnel. After about 15-20 minutes all the Titans player were ushered into the enclosure and then the call to the fans that it’s time for Kick to Kick to happen. It’s what happened then that filled me with hope for the Titans going forward. There were hundreds of kids mainly rush from everywhere to get to the enclosure to get a photo or autograph. The screaming of “Tino, Fifita , AJ , Lofi “etc was echoing all over the place. Such a heart warming think to see but more importantly how the next generation of fans see the team. I must admit this year looking at the crowds the amount of kids coming to game has increased and I would say that this is largely to at least to the 4 players I mentioned above.
