Great win but could have done without the Tigers tries at the death. I look forward to the day the Titans can strangle a team and really ram home an advantage. That said, I don't know what the score would have been in the first twenty minutes, if Friendy hadn't been desperately tackling Tedesco as he came through the middle with daylight in front of him. I am warming to the team, and look forward to continued improvement.

Great game tonight after easily our worst opening 20 minutes of the season. Like we did at the start of the game against the storm last week we look like we will be able to hang in their and settle down and complete sets. Ash and Roberts kicking games also helps by getting us out of trouble. Great performance last night even though we left a few points on the table through silly errors. Like that we are building a bit of a fortress at home. If we keep winning they will come.

Just read in the Courier Mail that Ash Taylor was hospitalised during the week due to a car accident. He was apparently sitting in traffic on the M1 and a car rear ended him going 100km/hr. He said he had a bit of whiplash and soreness but was OK. Considering how he played last night, it is quite remarkable.

What a fabulous win last night. I admit I went to bed early and really didn't expect to see us get the win. I piked just before halftime so I missed the good stuff. What I did see though was Josh Hoffman being a turnstile. His defence is a massive worry.

I couldn't make the game, was working on the local election. But managed to make it home with a pizza before kick off.
We were just woeful in the first half, but it a much improved effort in the second.
And that is ANOTHER home win!
Was beautiful to score 30 unanswered points in 25mins.

Yes but at least in this game he scored a try and set another up.

He would make a really good winger. Quality finisher.

He should be on the wing if he's not at FB, I think even Zilly defends alot better than him at centre. Hoffy would be a big upgrade on Nene at wing simply because he does things alot more urgently, is safer and carries the ball back stronger.
We are a new style of team this year. We have several forwards who charge in and bend the line. Aggi is a star with the best yet to come. The improvement week to week from Levi Pulu has been outstanding. Birdy and Rhino are well down on previous penalty counts. Chris McQueen hangs tough and looks an ideal bash brother for Birdy and Rhino We have kickers who give us opportunity to score, Tyrone kicks them out of sight when we are in trouble and Ash has pinpoint finesse near the goal line. Ash also knows how to tackle something we have missed in our halves since Matt Rogers. Hopefully there will be further improvement from Nathan Davis and Nene McDonald ,they both are works in progress with huge upside. Olive could be anything, we are yet to see the best of Moseley and with the prospect of Brian Kelly , Lawton and G.L. yet to get a taste the future is much improved on last years roster.
I am cautious of this years prospects as it will be a long season for some in their first year, but super excited for future seasons.
Shillo has taken away Miles role of giving away dopey penalties assisted by Zeb.

I must take a huge amount of offence at comparing Shillington and Taia to Myles ... they may give dopey penalties away but gee they both have a real go, unlike the famed Ole Poopy Draws who was a salary cap sponge rivalled only by the big dope himself, lump of "Coal Brained Train".

actually i missed the bit about Zeb at the very end. still agree with rest of post, but am happy with Zeb's efforts and contribution.
Shillo is our 'most' myles like player, but not near as bad and not paid as much

Ash's defense has come to be one of the bigger surprises out of our new guys this year. I honestly thought someone would have to carry him in that area, but he has proven he can hold his own quite effectively. Though I do worry a little when he throws himself at some of the bigger fellas.

Biggest difference between Shillington and Myles is Shillington bends the line with his carries and plays the ball at a decent speed. Yes he drops the ball every now and then and gives away the occasional penalty but he has way more upside from the short sample we have already.
It was good too see myles drop a sitter today

Was that pun intended? :laugh:
First game of the season I've made it down for (I live in the land of the Donkeys!). Confusing game with the Titans looking like last years Titans for the first half and looking unstoppable for the second. Thought I might share some pics.
Happy 100th for Tyrone
Ryan starts us off in the second half much to Badge's amazement!
Mead gets the better of Naiqama
Hmmm...maybe this is why Mum always warned me to wear clean underwear...
We've had some good offseason recruiting with Chris McQueen, Tyrone Roberts Zeb Taia and Ash Taylor, but none better than Karlee!
