21 MAN SQUAD v TITANS

[SamKerrSimp]

I'm almost as nervous for tonight's game. I think Storm will be too hot, but we need them to be.

Don't want to be requiring a straight sets out for the best team of the year. Very unlikely. May have never happened.

Can beat Manly though.

Funnily enough since the finals format change the only top 4 teams to bounce in straight sets are Melbourne, Manly, Parramatta x 2 and us and two of those (Parramatta, us) happened last year and both results typify Vlandys ball: Parramatta scored 24 points in both losses while we scored 28 and 18, bit of a joke what the game has become.

Melbourne were 3rd in 2013, Manly were 2nd in 2014 but as we all know they completely fell apart in the back end of the season so I'd say Melbourne 2013 were the best team to get bounced in straight sets since the change in 2012.

Justin Holbrook must be delighted to see Fumbles named on the right wing.
did you notice the Iku fumble in the first 5 mins against Canberra.?.his error, trying to play the ball , put the team under immense pressure..the Raiders were first to score

if Copley is fit and well, he is a much better option on the right wing..

if not the Titans will bomb Fumbles at each and every opportunity

what's the point going into a finals match with an obvious weak link

What do u expect,, a squad of 30 superstars to fit under the cap? Most know Matt Ikuvalu is a rocks and diamonds player....so that means sometimes u gotta expect rocks..

U gotta have players like Icky, Lam and Hutchinson to create a strong squad of 30...all of them have done a very good job as backups.

Happy to have players like Icky even as first choice wingers or 1st backup.
