Hey Titans friends. Sorry I've dropped off the face of the earth. I went to Japan for a couple weeks and then ended up getting some sort of flu that I am still trying to fight off. That said I did manage to enjoy the two wins we got lately. And saw the first half of yesterday's match. I'll be catching up with everyone's comments and the remainder of the match, as well as this press conference from the coach. Thanks to every for starting the new match threads.
 
This group needs to get some credibility and respect back. At 2W 5L that’s all they have to play for and if they respect Brennan they will deliver an 80min effort this week.
If they think Brennan is a nuffy then we will see the usual indifferent slop again which is “our brand” these days when we play Brennan-ball.

For mine our “mini GF” was round 3 v Souffs and we are nowhere near playing another one.
We need to stop being slop and nothing else.
 
Why doesn't the Captain have to go to the presser after the game with the coach? What should happen is the press gets to ask the coach to turn up with a nominated player ie Ash Taylor. Make these numptys answer for themselves why they seem disinterested. Put them on the spot. Maybe the club after the open training session could open the floor to fans to ask questions. I'd leave work to go down there if I had the chance to confront them face to face.
 
What is even more shocking and confusing to me about Ash is that I thought for sure that having Big Mal around the club would fire him up and get him performing. Having an ex QLD coach and current Aus coach around, wouldn't you want to impress him and stake your claim (he's openly talked about his desire to play Origin) but he's not even in the discussions now and rightly so. He is actually looking fitter this year and has lost some weight but still can't make a tackle and even his kicking game isn't leading to points now. He's gone so far backwards and looks like he'd rather be out at Surfers rather than playing footy. No longer can he use the excuse of "being young" or "not having stability in the halves". He's got his best mate alongside him and he's now 24, he should be leading the side and we built the club around him. But instead he's throwing the towel in and not giving a crap (he's not alone but he's on a million bucks so deserves to wear the main of the criticism). All I can say is thank god we have Tyrone.

I had this image in my mind of Brennan wiping his brow and saying "phew" when we are able to bring back injured players so he doesn't have to make the hard decisions that, at this point, probably need to be made.

At least LoLo is on the extended bench again.
 
Brennan is incapable of making a tough decision
He is an indifferent players (Taylor Proctor) best friend
 
How Proctor makes that starting side ahead of any of those blokes in jerseys 15-19 is beyond me.

Hopefully the inclusion of Brimson can make a difference.

Agree 100% with you but having said that I don’t think at the moment the make up of the 17 is all that relevant. Our squad has an attitude problem and that’s the only issue that needs addressing.
 
Anyone know which 2 players have been culled from the list of 21 so far?

Just googled and found it’s Matthews and Arthurs

Taumalolo is still in the NQ squad
 
Don v Hampton in the air would surely be a target. And then out to the left, could get some rewards bombing O'Neill
 
Runours floating around the SuperCoach realm is that Arrow will be out this week with a knee injury. Anyone hear anything more than rumours at this stage?
 
^^^ on the website there’s photos of him training freely with no strapping on his knees. Find it highly unlikely.
