I am a bit surprised by the rating of LG's performance to be honest. I thought it was about a 5 out of 10 but if this is rebuilding year he must be persevered with as he will only get better. You could see that he has it.

Definitely. All things considered it was a solid debut and it's clear he offers more than Morts

Agreed! Yeah wasn't the ushering in of the newest NRL superstar but its a kid getting a go proving he can hack it in the NRL. Still alot to do but the only way he is going to get where he needs to be is to keep giving him a go. I'd rather see him fail and learn then watch Mortimer fail knowing that we have no future with him.

5 out of 10 when compared to our overall performance tonight as a team is fantastic. Not trying to stir the pot, I mean, we won, but we were awful. We are getting murdered up the middle because we can't control the speed of the ruck.
 
In press conference Henry confirmed that we are in negotiations with LG to extend his contract although there is interest from other clubs. Fingers crossed we can lock him down.
 
yeah LG was about a 5. a few nice touches, some nice runs at the line, and looked like he was just testing out his new car, seeing the limits and judging what he was up against. He will improve. He did miss a few tackles, but they put it on him to test him, and most halves miss tackles in msot matches... we were just looking at him closely cos he is a small kid on debut.

Myles was Myles better. Bird was strong in play, but off the ball he was a mess giving penalties on our line. Its really frustrating me. In other sports, or maybe just teams with better accountability, your team mates would have pulled you up by now asking whether you're helping or hurting.

Roberts was pretty poor early, and got no good ball still, but managed to get 2 tries. Wade graham hit him on the chest better than any Titan has in his year with us.

Zill did us proud by playing his 150th game true to the fashion he has played the other 149. i'll let you all decide if that's a compliment or not.

Taylor was strong early. really strong actually. in defence especially. probably why he only lasted 20 mins. but anyone who says he is lazy doesn't watch football.

We got the win, but at 18-18 i wished we got to see Moseley there to spr=ark something.

happy for Paasi. good fella, well esrnt try and had a few good carries.

James hurts as much as he helps i think.
 
A win is a win. Played very patchy, i thought Elgey played well, yo could see he was nervous but thats to be expected. Give him more time and the right guidance and he will be a star, Bird played strong with some good carrys, Ryan James needs to go back to Qcup and learn basics and show some discipline with the ball. as we all said Zillman needs to be lost in the desert some where never to be seen again.
 
Wow!! I'm amazed by the sentiments on here tonight. I thought people would be more excited by what they saw tonight. I totally, 100%, understand the Zillman frustration but after those heartbreaking losses v the Tigers and Knights I'm just so happy. Especially with a big Friday night home game on deck!!

Elgey didn't really do anything but that was always going to be a very, very tough place to debut - I'm really excited about seeing him with a full week of training and in a more open and flowing game v the Broncos.

Roberts is a jet. He actually makes an opposition team defend him.

Think about where we were at after the round 2 loss. Think about where we were when it looked like Gordon had scored!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL at Ennis!!

In no year like this, I really think we have no choice but to really enjoy moments such as these. I know I am!!!
 
I think the James on the edge experiment can now be considered a fail … he can't run holes at all and LG hit him pretty fairly a couple of times and James had nothing. He also seems to play like that when Bird is around. I wouldn't send him back but I would have a word in his ear and then put him in the middle where he belongs … he is a Kite type player with poor discipline.

I just can't imagine how we would look with a real left centre. I just can't imagine how Roberts would go with some early ball and apart from his goal kicking, teke and MT are welcome to Sezer - when he's on the left we have nothing out wide and when he's on the right, well … just the same different side.

Loved the win but now reality will kick in - I hope the Warriors smash Waynes' girls badly.

I don't want him. His kicking game today was back to it's woeful worst. Can he ever find the ground with a distance kick - straight down a players throat every time. I have said for a while now he is too slow between the ears and he obviously never looks where the opposition fullback and wingers are as he always puts it straight to them.
But I don't want to take away from the win. We have deserved to win before today so I'll take it.
 
we are a missed tackle against the knights and a chancey field from Pat richards from being 3-1 out of four games, while we have played with very poor execution for large periods and given silly penalties like crazy.

saving grace is our ability to remain in the contest and fight till the death. good traits to build on while we establish some form of an attacking plan. there are glimpses here and there. you see every now and then there is a passage that was obviously rehe****d but it needs to be more often.

Will take it, but remember it was the sharks, one of the only teams playing worse than us so far. We need a big rise to compete against even mid tier teams.

but if we fight hard, compete and slowly improve while getting games into LG and Mosely, im ok with that.

also, sign val holmes. a few of us on here said it a few weeks ago...but you give him twice as much as you would give Alex Johnston. He will be a star
 
Excellent win & very happy with LG's debut his game will improve 10 fold by next week & Paasi will now cement a spot in the 17 , let's hope for Mosely to return for next week as Falloon will be outed for a few weeks after his lifting tackle also agree with most that Myles played very well tonight along with Simpkins..

Bring on the Donkeys

We get Brisbane off the back of a five day turnaround and a trip home from NZ, that's pretty brutal scheduling for them. I hope tomorrow's game is hard, bruising and fast!!
 
I'm not to sure why people don't think Ryan's doing a good job he made 36 tackles he had to make a lot for LG which is expected I think with LG there they were looking ok together I say give them a few weeks to gel, Ryan's only just getting use to second row, he made a try saver for us at one point. And wow didn't nate have a go tonight? Of he brings that every week we can actually start to compete that's what we need from our captain
