Welcome to League of Titans

Round 9: TITANS vs SOUTHS

To me it was the Titans of old. We lacked motivation , enthusiasm and respect. We looked disinterested and a
Team playing on one leg. Game plan what game plan? To me it was crap.

We have been lucky up to now and the Bunnies really pulled our pants down. Also looked like that somebody did the math last night and said if we loose the worst we will end up is 3rd on the ladder. Ione , Taylor and Don were the only ones that had a dig the rest were passengers. Zilly. Didn't even notice that he was on the field so his jersey won't need a wash this week. Maybe just a spray with some deoderant to freshen it up. If we play like this the next two weeks we will have some more pain come our way against the Broncos and Storm.

Poor performances like that will well and truly hamper or crowd numbers going forward. Why watch us get flogged at home when they can go and watch the Suns win.
 
I actually thought Srama produced much better service than Falloon, I have always thought this. Srama seems he needs a few more games under his belt but I have him ahead of Falloon in hooker. Zilly was next to useless out there, his defence the real low light along with many others tonight just ball watching rather than wrapping up Souffs offloads. We were made to look very poor out there and almost set some new records for missed tackles!
 
You can highlight this person played bad that person played bad but when u have Ben Ikin chuckling before the game about the Titans woeful attack there is only one direction the finger should be at.

I think we know who that is. The one problem with our easy draw to start the season and us getting results that hid the real problems, is that the coach will survive - again. We may hover around the top 8 for most of the season and get a few ugly wins but the team playing the way they are is no threat to anyone.
 
Missed tackles, simple as that.

Forget everything else that happened last night, and if we missed only HALF the amount we missed then it would have been a close game. Nothing else other than attitude tonight. Sure our attack was the typical useless, flat, uninspired crap we are renowned for, but this was a game to be won on aggression, attitude and defence. We leaked tackles, which lead to offloads, which led to line breaks which lead to points. Lots of them.

I don't know what happened by who exactly, I will watch the replay, but clearly it was just a lack of mongrel in the defensive line. They just smashed through us. We were embarrassed by them.
 
No point commenting about the game, I just want to know if they at least hung around and greeted the Fans, post match?

Hopefully that wasn't a half-ar$ed effort as well.

P.S. I'm tipping Taylor to get a Origin recall this year. :)

Come on Souths missed 4 tackles too we only had 40 missed , can't blames Zillman he only missed 4 but he did make 2 tackles throughout the 80 while his opposed number scored 4 try's
 
I just refuse to comment on the game after watching the replay because nobody's opinion means anything to the people who matter in this … the players, the selectors and the coaching staff were equally responsible … Stuart may apologise but our Cartwright needs to take a good long look in the mirror.

he could have had 6 or 7 tries if not for some video ref calls.

I think Zill cleary needed a catch up game for burleigh before marking one of the quickest and sharpest 19 year olds ive ever seen.

Think James got the burgess guys fired up then didnt show up for the fight he called, and they just smashed us. Douglas made a huge difference when he came on. not saying we win, but i think the game wouldnt have been over after 15 minutes if he had have started.

Taylor is surely our second best player after Bird this year, and over last month its probably him and Mead (not a game for Mead to shine last night) who have led the way.
 
We are never going to score points if carty is still the coach. Was looking forward to this game..

At least my vcash is winning

James last night seemed to return to the dumb footy he was guilty of last year. Not only did he say some dumb things before the game re the Burgess boys, that penalty where he took the legs of the Souths kicker was equally stupid. But of course he was not the reason for that performance.
DB - I'll have to watch the replay to see what you mean about Douglas because I didn't really think he changed things. That said the game was already over and I had lost a lot of interest. It's lousy going to a game and find it's over after 10 minutes. Of course as soon as Souths had scored 16 points we all new it was over as even if the Titans had not conceded another point it was very unlikely we would score more than 16 to win, and that is against anybody, let alone a top side.
I must say though, for all my complaining about our attack and the teams performances, the Rabbits were red hot last night and would have beaten most, if not all on that performance.

Agree with the Douglas comment he was fantastic when he came on but maybe he had a few beers & a pie at halftime because he was near the worst in the 2nd half pretty much giving up 2 tries through poor handling

I don't think the fans bothered to hang around to meet the players.
Unless they were wearing crimson and myrtle.

yeah i wasnt watching as closely in the second haf, but watch his charges once he came on in first half, he ran hard, straight and bent the line. only he and Taylor were doing it at that point. then ioane had a dig when he came on.

someone else said rabbits were on fire...its true. they would have put 60 against some teams. we did well to hold out in the middle 55 odd minutes. after 20 minutes. it was 18 all for the rest of the game.

and lol to mexican titan you are 100% correct. once it got to 16, i thought, well we dont have three tries in us on most nights, let alone once we on our back like we were.

We only got back into the match cos Mcguire took Api Koroisau off maybe under the mercy rule. he was carving us around the ruck like ive not seen before. except round 2 against tigers...

also, we actually spread the ball from hooker to sezer to alby to taka a few times and made ground...but nothing near the line of course. its just 3 towards the posts once we get into the red zone.

should aim to play more away games, we play better on the road right now.
 
had a funny thought about Don. He is a genuine first grader now. He is as strong as anyone weve had under the high ball probably, and defence is alot better. can finish well. If he could kick goals like the classic 'good, but your not sure why' wingers a la Halligan, Chook Herron or Eion Crossan (****s me how you spell it) , he'd play the next 200 games straight and have godfather themed banners with 'The Don' on them. we can call him Big Tony then too.

start having some pot shots for goal at training mate, if Sezer goes down, we only have bird....your a chance!

I'm nit-picking here but Souths colours are Cardinal and Myrtle.

I read all the post-match comments on here, as I always do, and that was all I could be bothered to add... It probably took me more effort to do this than half our team showed. We have a top 8 spot within reach but the next fortnight - up at Brisbane and at home to the Warriors will be telling.

Our for and against has nwo dropped to -14.
 
I read on a forum that the only way we will miss out on the finals is if we lose 10 out of our last 15 games. So luckily for us a finals spot is all but assured, but we are never going to be a serious threat if we play how we did last night.
 
We'll need to win at least 6 of our last 15. Probably 7 with our for and against the way it is

Last 15 games
