This is the performance we had to have to win me right back baby!!@@!@!!@
Might be the best thing for these guys, learn it early in the season and stand up, we're not a bad team... Just Holbrook cooked us and hopefully learnt his lessons...

I just want to recognise the efforts of Jojo, Stimson and Randall. The unsung guys just keep on giving.
Ps. Let’s sack the coach … lol.

Even if we lose games.... this is the team I want to support.... Good smart footy, working for each other and doing sick things with the ball occasionally, Just earn the right to...
I'm proud of the way they've bounced back after brutal losses, this shows me enough... This was a big game just to not let this crap happen another time. Still have to prove it to me 2 more times till the bye but this was an incredible bounce back and honestly
**** YES AFTER THE **** WE COPPED (Deserved) but this is the team we are.... This win showed character like our other wins we've had this year... Holbrook needs to sort his subs..
We still went down to 2nds house and smacked them... We're good and need Holbrook to stop making bad subs...

Agree with Titanic Jojo, Stimson and Randall have been all effort and haven't put a foot wrong, really good on the defensive side
Also agree with psmitt, JC locks up the fullback spot and AJ plays centre or 5/8, both need to be in the starting 13. JC is a consistently electric and has improved his defence from last year.
David Fifita and Mo were stand outs this game.

Who do you think can that's available?
Haha let's celebrate a win against the 2nd rank team down at their home ground, Holbrook made the right subs and I'm critical of him...

JC needs to remain at fullback, He is just so talented and AJ is just too injury prone with the amount of running required at fullback.
Holbrook learnt his lesson and had his starting side on for most of the time, although he did leave Mo on for too long and he was just cooked in his attempted tackle on Sipple.
Fifita was immense and for me the best player on the field.
The first carry by Klese was so impressive making 20 metres and his speed on the edge just gives us more firepower on that right edge.

It did seem like a sign from whoever and whatever is above Klese scoring on his first touch, He should've played the whole time... hahaha
Tannah Boyd looks so much like Butters from SP, I can't believe I've never seen it before tonight. He was really good as well tonight, some of his subtle playmaking really impressed me for the first time, He's had it but he was legit holding up defences with random running for a second or two and dummies... Very impressed. F Vossy for cursing his goal kicking.

I really love David Fifita. I think he is my favourite player. His skills but also his honest personality.
Here he is speaking after the game. At 1:20 he speaks about the fans.

It was a nice touch from DF, love to see it.
Genuinely good win that, we all need it. :thumbsup:
Onto the Eels, a win against them at Suncorp will just about forgive all wrongs from prior weeks.

I don't think I've ever changed opinion on a player as much as I have on David Fifita, I didn't dislike him but I was a bit angry at some of the efforts.... He's turned into a Tino effort player with all the pizazzzzz but also re-signed on unders and loves the club.... Quickly become my favourite player in the team and not because of random great stuff. The way he talked about the fans after it is..... :salute:

Ok... What do you want??? haha, Manly were second, we were at their home ground on the 700th game there, We got a try against us and fought back...
I honestly think if Holbrook can figure out how to use our bench and we get healthy we're not that far off...
It's easy to keep saying "I'm a realist".... There's 2 coaches every year who get to the grand final and it's been hogged between about 4 teams for the last 7 years.... Panthers, Storm, Roosters, Eels and Raiders are the only teams who made it since 2017. Who do you want from them??? Flannigans the assistant at Manly who we beat... Maguire?
4 coaches have won comps and one of thems Wayne hahaha. The others are assistants for reasons...
If Holbrook can learn from his dumbass errors like today, we should be winning... We've been in every game this year and should've won all of them if not for injuries or dumb subs and calls.

No more or less than any other “young” coach. I am as emotionally critical of him as most people when the team underperforms and forgiving when we win … that’s the joy of following a team. I would hate to have Bennett or most of the others except for Bellamy. And I wouldn’t swap our Board except for adding a godfather now that PB has passed. We can’t have everything from other clubs because we are the Gold Coast Titans and have to build our own culture. If I had a magic wand one of our own system coaches progresses to head coach.
