Nah, I was pretty close. The Broncos were terrible but I reckon that was as much down to us sticking it too them. Even 12 in front it was not until 3 to go that I stopped swearing. I was out on the back deck so the neighbours sure got my worst tonight. In hindsight they were the best beers I have had for ages.
But we must keep it going. We had a great win against the Storm last year and we saw what happened after that. But tonight, you fvcking ripper.

News corp headline will probably try and play it down as an April Fools joke.
Yeah about the swearing. Reckon I was about the same - 3 minutes out but let a few celebratory ones go on the hooter.
The beers won’t stop here for a while !! And every one is like honey!!

All about the Broncos and not the Titans. Typical.

James, Wallace, Arrow were huge tonight. The half’s really stood up but by far the most impressive for me was Sami. He is shaping as a real gem for us. Just kept looking for work.
Great TEAM effort tonight. Yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh

Wish we had the thumbs back. That's gold.
And for those little insecure Broncos supporters that will have a look at this forum to see what the winners aresaying, a few home truths.
1) You beat the Cowboys because a goal post saved you.
2) you got a ridiculous call last week to get a penalty and beat the Tiges. The ref got dropped that's how bad it was.
So the Broncs should be on a fat zero. That would be a better reflection on how they are travelling.

What makes it even more sweeter is the 4-11 penalty count against.
The refs tried bloody hard to get us beat but we were to BLOODY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

5 things we learned from Gold Coast’s 26-14 win over Brisbane

A MARQUEE MAN goes missing, some former Broncos stand up and a nice headache for Gold Coast coach Garth Brennan — it’s all here in five things we learned from Broncos-Titans.
1) THE Broncos underestimated the Titans.
Brisbane was out-enthused by the Gold Coast, who were coming off a 54-8 hiding by the Dragons last week.
The Broncos were never in the contest, made poor errors and lacked defensive starch in their first loss against the Gold Coast at Suncorp Stadium since 2007.
2) BRISBANE’S $3 million recruit Jack Bird went missing in his first home game at Suncorp Stadium.
Bird didn’t make a run until the 33rd minute.
The ball may not have gone his way much but he needs to go looking for it and do some hard yards.
3) RISING Broncos winger Jamayne Isaako came crashing back to earth.
Isaako has been a star of Brisbane’s start to the season but was caught out in defence, sent a kick-off out on the full and made two errors in a tough night.
4) EX-BRONCOS forwards Jai Arrow and Jarrod Wallace stepped up in a big way to help deliver the Titans victory last night.
Arrow was outstanding, particularly in defence, while Wallace improved on last week’s performance and returned to his metre-eating ways.
Arrow made 35 tackles and missed none while Wallace ran for 107m. What a statement.
5) WHERE does Bryce Cartwright fit into the picture for the Titans?
The Gold Coast recruit played just one minute in the win, coming off the bench when Kevin Proctor was sent for a HIA right before halftime.
He did not return after the break and after the performance of the other Titans forwards it’s hard to see how Garth Brennan will use him moving forward.

2) Titans LG silenced some of the haters with a great game
3) Rising TITANS star Phillip Sami tore the Broncos apart.
4) TITANS players Jai Arrow and Wallace stepped up in a big way!
5) Titans coach Gareth Brennan has some selection headaches with everyone standing up and vying for their position.

Agree with the posts on here. Awesome feeling. So glad to beat those entitled turds. McGuire, Thaiday, Roberts, Bird and save special mention for Corey Parker and his awful commentary.
So happy for some players on here who in my opinion are unfairly singled out. Copley and Elgey were great defensively tonight and Kane looked to have some confidence back in attack.
Arrow is quickly becoming my favourite Titan and Max King has been awesome this year too. Both great motors and both technically excellent in defence.
Finally, really happy to have a coach who is not afraid to make tough calls and seems to be able to read the flow of the game. Good call dropping Latu. I watched Cartwright closely when he came on (albeit for a couple of minutes) and he fell off a couple of tackles with flimsy arm grabs and wasn't putting his body on the line. With 20 to go it was about defending our lead so agree with not giving him a run. Then for Nikorima's try he beat an obviously gassed Morgan Boyle on the inside and immediately Boyle is taken off for James. I don't think Garth will tolerate Hurrell's defensive lapses for too long either. Almost cost us another try by shooting up out of the line.

The Chitans are having a very good day as it seems are the rest of you. I'll comment tomorrow after the beers subside but I will leave you with this message:
Some of you need to go back and read your comments after last week's game ... we are 2 from 4 in a very much rebuilding year. Our coach, owners and players need your support and understanding not knee-jerk freaking out. I have selected a 13-16 finish but will treasure wins like this.
Oh by the way .... Yeehah, take that right up your djin Bennett you fugging twat!!!!!

I think officially CartWright played for 1 minute. As Brennan just said in the Press conference, he's young, he's 23 and the staff will work with him and get him to what they feel he is capable of.
Agree with this and wasn't having a shot at Cartwright, but more so stating Brennan did what was needed. I am really happy we have Cartwright as his ability with the ball is something we have been missing in the backrow for a long time. Just needs to improve his defence.

We're on the same page. I think I could have worded my reply better, wasn't meant to come off as an attack or a "as a matter of fact". Sorry. Brennan pretty much eluded to the reason he didn't come back on was due to the defensive effort was required and didn't want to upset it. Speaks volumes.
Titanic, had a look at my comments from last week, I'm happy. Singled out Latu, LG, Hurrell and Cartwright. Brennan took care of two of them, LG stepped up and I'm still harping on about Koni this week.
Onwards and upwards to a depleted Manly next week.
