Looking at the Titans line-up, we'd do well to stay within 10. Up at Skilled Park, on a monday night, i just don't like our chances.
I rate this tougher than the Merge game, because at least Anzac Day fired the troops up.

I hope we see changes to our outside backs, otherwise, get your money on the Tits wingers for first try. They have the fastest combination in the game compounded by explosive centres.

First game this year where i really don't give us ANY chance - i'm open to surprises though!

smith has got to be kidding with that team.

frankpaul at lock, what a joke.

koupashitsas on the bench, what a joke.

fat moses on the bench, what a joke.

worst hooker in the comp on the bench, what a joke.

i can keep going but i feel sick now.

Actually, looking at the teams, i can't think of one area in which we are better than the Titans.

Backs - they are faster, more skillful and more explosive.

Halves - i think Pearce is one of the best young halves in the game, however against Prince, no chance. Bird is playing the role Anasta should be playing and brings more aggression.

Second Rowers - Nate against two of the best rep players in that position and one of the most explosive running forwards in Mini Mini. No chance.

Front Row - Ryles can match Bailey, but the rest of their props are so far ahead of ours it's not funny.

Bench - well, that's an easy one to figure out.



Here's to Titans having their worst game of the year!

why do we keep finding coaches that refuse to drop duds.

[Guest]

Good news - Jake Friend starting

Bad News - He'll spend the whole game tackling

[Vasco]

Surely Tom Symonds would be fit enough after two games for Newtown.

[Guest]

Not sure what Tom Symonds has done wrong?

Disappointing lineup, was expecting one change in the backline and Symonds to be back on the bench for Guerra/Koops.

The rangas curse!!

[Guest]

I'm not concerned about Symonds, our weakest point at this time is our backline.

Going up against one of the better backlines in the comp, i was hoping for a change or two there.

If Ben Rogers tore us a new one, imagine what Prince is capable of.

[novice chook]

6 days before we play and I'm hoping that's plenty of time for changes.

No 1 being Koopashitsme being dumped for Symonds. With Jaubs on the bench there's no excuse for Koupashitsme to have any part in our 17. Jaubs can cover hooker, halves and lock/back row.

At least Carney is now back at FB, which means that Mini can be pensioned off to the wing. And we we regain the organisation of Pearce in the halves. Neither Carney nor Anasta have shown they could organise a pissup in a brewery - which surprises me re Carney.

I think Mitchell Pearce is better than Prince.

I think Mitchell Pearce is better than Prince.

Maybe in a couple of years, not now.
