Titans game

[Lydon]

We need to win by 2 points on Sunday to earn ourselves a top 4 spot,which is remarkable considering we haven’t hit our straps yet this year..
Hope we go out there and make a statement as it’s a really important match to start our run to the finals!

Robbo is crazy if he rests Teddy this week, already without Cordner/Napa/Radley now isn't the time to rest Teddy.

I don't expect any of the origin players to play on Sunday. Robbo is actually quite smart and always planned to give them a rest after SOO 3.
It really is time for Mr. Cronk to stand up and deliver. He is getting paid to do a job at a high standard and his performances so far have been far from that.

listening to Robbo's press conference from today, it certainly sounds like he has prepared the team for the last two weeks to play without Teddy/Latrell/Cordner/Napa/Radley.

That’s If Cronk actually pays,apparently his wife is expecting their first child and he may miss the game..

Cronk/Matterson took part in today's captains run, no sign of Teddy/Latrell, Fergo had his knee heavily strapped.

have to think the team will look something like this.

Fergo
Toups
Maubs
Manu
Ikuvalu
Keary
Cronk
JWH
Friend
SST
Matterson
Liu
Butcher

Baptiste
Collins
Tetevano
Tupouniua

Interesting to see if the Titans rest Jai Arrow and Wallace from the game also..

Thats the updates squad, this game is gonna be pretty tight. I can see he young guns standing up though.

[The Axe]

Can see Fergo play fb

[The Axe]

Anyone know what happened to Robbo’’s love child, Reece?

[The Skeez]

Well, half the Chookpen would be stoked to see Faamausili get a run. From the preseason game where he went hard and straight, he finally gets a start from the bench.

[ChookMaster]

Not happy with that bench. I would start Tets and place either JWH or SST on the bench. Also baptiste should come out of the team... aubo in the centres again yikes

[Johnny Brass]

We still have a handy side with the Rep boys being rested, Robbo like Bellamy realises it's more beneficial to let them get over origin rather than burn them out. It's a gamble but one well worth taking in the long run. The titans have been good recently besides the last start flogging from the broncos but I think we can grab the chocolates.

[bondi.boy]

This is a game we must win. Not the time for gambling. We might win, if we play like the Rabbits. Lose, and it's down the ladder we go. Down, down, down.

[milanja]

Shame manly could hold the storm off, they rested everyone and won, can’t see us winning this with everybody out, seems trent isn’t overly concerned with a top four finish. 5th or 6th home semi may be his focus.
