I'm going home 😕😳😭
Sorry to say but Daines isn’t up to NRL standards. His constantly out of position, drops ball at crucial times, let’s the ball bounce etc etc.
The errors continued in the 2nd half and that’s why we lost
plus we had klemmer ball playing 85% of his carries. Dumb ass drop balls don’t help. But seriously where does this team go to from here. Imo Marshall should front the media tonight. Cause it looks like he’s calling the shots.The errors continued in the 2nd half and that’s why we lost
That was very poor. They have been practicing passing but forgot the catching part. Some of those errors were just basic skills. Titans weren’t that good they just held the ball.
Well we should have won that game. Silly silly mistake killed any advantage. Frustrating night for all.
My thoughts
- Started very well but couldn’t execute on their line
- Too many silly errors
- Brooks is still a worry. His passing under pressure just isn’t good enough. I say that as a Brooks fan
- Looked far better in the second half when we played more direct
- Defensive lapses are a worry but hopefully will improve with conditioning
- Laurie just doesn’t have the all round game to be an NRL fullback. A real worry as we have no obvious replacement.
- As poor as we were, we looked far better today than we did at the start of last year. I can see what Sheens and Benji are working towards. Last year, after Round 1, I didn’t think we would win a game all year
Also Papali’i needs to go back to the right side he has a right step, runs out of room on the left.

Agree on a lot of those points. We won every stat line there is except completion/errors. I understand that that is always going to come with a more expansive style of play, but some (most) of those errors weren’t under pressure and were pretty basic.
Overall I can see us winning more games than we lose if we lose the sloppy handling.
The gc try off a bomb that we didn’t even go for though was horrendous and deserving of a demotion for Laurie. How did bula go in reggies I wonder?
The Tigers, they promise you the world and you just get an atlas........
Angry Frog
We have such a slow backline, Naden is the only one with a bit of zip
Did anyone happen to see NSW cup game? How did Bula go in the win over the Roosters.
