Welcome to League of Titans

Round 8: TITANS vs SHARKS (2018)

I saw that game and yeah, Elgey / Brimson combo was dangerous but it's not as if the Cutters threw much at Tweed tbh. It looked more like a training run for them.
 
Defensive oriented game tonight and the sharks basically out defended us (they scrapped better). In saying that we were light years in front of how we defended against the cows.
After an average first half we were pretty unlucky and could have won the game with around 2:41 left on the clock when Ash put a bomb ending in an unbelievable flick pass from Cartwright to James whom wasn’t ready and went straight thru his fingers.

The negativity being sent Cartwright’s way is unwarranted IMO. Even though he was far from perfect he had a pretty good game and for those who say he did’t run enough he ran for 76m to Moyland's 80m. I think Ash ran for 7m.

We need some bloody second phase play for goodness sake our offload number were pathetic at 9.

Also our all round kicking game was crap and we only kicked for 276m to their 422m.

Even though Arrow was off for some time he ran for 194m wow! Thats right we have a gun.

All in all not the result we wanted but I personally think this was a step in the right direction. They will certainly improve on that for next week if its any consolation.

We’re not out of the fold yet Bodsy.

No Gallen, no Lewis, no Graham and we still lost at home.

Just not good enough whichever way you look at it.

Agreed, I am not surprised we are favourites for wooden spoon. We played a half strength sharks team at home, and still lost, didn't even look like we would get a try in their red zone.

Atay has been piss poor, he goes missing in games, he doesn't command the ball, can't manage the team, barely even went for a repeat set.

Cartwright didn't set the world on fire but we also didn't look as suspect on our left edge whilst defending.

Koni, proctor also been poor this season, they are suppose to be senior leaders for our young squad. Koni is just dumb and and makes silly errors in crucial periods, proctor is lazy and never sets in the defensive line.

Thank God we got Jai Arrow, Hipgrave, King, seems they are the only ones putting in. I didn't mind Elliot in left centre as well, made a few mistakes but looked solid defensively.

I hope at the end of this season Brennan puts a broom through the squad and only keeps the players which put in each week and want to be here. The rest can jog on, I dont care how big a names they are.
 
Good close game between 2 teams that will finish near each other at seasons end.

Once again there was little running impact from the back 3 and even less from the halfs, all the running was left up to the overworked forwards who are doing great work.

I am fine with LG being dropped, he was in cruise mode in the Q Cup today and showed he was a level above when he ran. I personally dont think this club is going to get the best out of him, he needs to move on and I know the perfect place :D

Taylor, LG, Carty whoever in the halves...just test the line at least once plz
 
The only thing more frustrating than watching that game is watching the press conference. Was Garth watching the same game?

Couldn’t agree more re testing the line......just once would be novelty . Seems like they both either lack confidence or are scared of being hurt in a tackle.

Just switched it off. I'm at a loss. He has a pet and he takes precedence over local products apparently and he won't waver. There are only two people on the Gold Coast that think Cartwright did alright tonight and I don't have to unignore one of them on this forum to know that he'll be trying to justify his comments earlier in the week.

Teke, if you want LG I wish him all the best and get out of the club. Go somewhere you'll be appreciated. It'll be another Keary IMO.

Not according to Brennan, Cartwright tested the line by taking a couple of hit ups (because he's a got a bigger body). Probably had something to do with everyone over running him because he plays at the pace of Nate Myles.
 
I really hope we aren't seeing another coach/pet relationship develop. But for me we aren't there yet.
 
If we lose this week then it’s 4 losses in a row. That’s when a coach starts to find out who his friends really are and when fans start to really turn feral.

Well after 3 consecutive losses it’s pretty safe to say that the Brennan love is fading away.

Nah I'm still hanging in there. He at least started to drop players. Just hope we don't see a Zillman Effect happening.

It's only Round 7.
