Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Titans

[Next time]

Not confident, but hopefully the home ground helps get us the win...atleast klein not reffing nor in the bunker.

[eddie]

The Gold Coast backline is lethal, they're gonna tear us to shreds.

Easts- 64

Titans - nil

[Superdag]

We need to copy the warriors game plan from last week,
it will be a wet and slippery field tonite.
We cannot afford to be rucking the ball out from our owv goal line tonite .

[Rooster90]

Depends on what Roosters team turns up.

Either team will win this something like 32-16

If we lose by 16 points to GC I’ll throw someone off the Gap.

What was wrong with our game plan last week? If we held the ball we would have won.

[BraveTheWorld]

Kini being out for them is massive. Absolutely one of their most dangerous players.
Our bench doesn't look incredibly weak anymore, and if the "good" Roosters show up, we should win.
I feel like the Titans are a bit like us but just a lower tier version over the last few years. They're extremely hot when they're playing well, but have a really soft underbelly and are inconsistent.
I'm not sure how you can have Kini, Campbell, Fotuaika, Tino, Fifita, Brimson, Khan-Pereira and Liu (recently) and not be pushing for the finals each year.

Anyway, I don't think we've lost to these guys since round 1 2016. I expect we'll win. Might depend on if our passes stick. They did against Penrith, and didn't against the Warriors.

Enjoy the game, everyone.

They pinned us down in our own quarter , on the last tackle we were kicking from deep inside our own territory unlike the game against penrith where Townsend was bombing for Young and Tupop to compete for the ball.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

A stronger squad overall than last week, but Connor is a big out. With the drink around and and a likely soft track, Chad's kicking game is very important. We lost the territory battle last week, and didn't earn the right to get enough shots against the Warriors. We need good yardage and quicker play the balls. Congrats Nat Butch 150th I think?

Their halves pose the biggest threat. Speed and flair. Campbell is potentially one of the best in the game imho, would love him in the RWB.

Always maintained Billy is our first centre picked when fit this year. We'll know around 5pm how fit he is.

So your suggesting that was actually our game plan? Wow.

No Conner Watson is a big loss, we need some of the forwards to speak up, get some mongrel in them.

[HunchoRooster]

Titans are an underrated side this year me thinks. A really mobile forward pack led by Tino.

Their backs are inconsistent but when they are on, they can torch any team in the comp. Kink is a really big out for them. Interesting to see if Brimson spends any time at fullback, been a bit quiet at 6 with Campbell in the halves.

We were good defensively last week, with the ball we were atrocious. Fix that up and we are a good chance. Can’t give these guys much of a sniff though, very big momentum team. They pummelled Newcastle last week with some really good attacking footy. Hopefully Gus comes out with a point to prove against Fifita. Keep him quiet.

[The Lip]

Jayden Campbell worries me - always plays well against us.

[caz]

looking to see the boys bounce back. defend well and hold onto the ball and we'll give it a crack. need to bomb their smaller wingers

Was the game they beat us at Gosford that long ago? Jake Clifford touched us up like he was a Marist Brother that day.
