Game Day: Game Day - Titans V Manly [Round 7, 2024]

[eaglebuzz]

Holy crap Titans have 57% possession, we are doing well to be only behind by 2

 

[The Royal Soup]

they better get a huge fuking rocket at half time!

that was utterly pathetic

 

[Ryan]

Siebold taking a leaf out of the Tigers 05 playbook.

It's not a long term winning strategy.

What do you mean ?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Siebs needs to admit that the Garrick at centre experiment is over, we should swap him and Talau.

Yes, the Reubon Saabrick cross-connection has been a dual weakness.

 

[The Royal Soup]

yea

Holy crap Titans have 57% possession, we are doing well to be only behind by 2

through our own stupid
mistakes and poor kicks

 

[davohan123]

We are missing Aloiai, Brown and Sipley. Lodge first game back. Never going to be easy.

And even though slow woods is playing his role ok

Yep agree never going to be easy
Interesting half awaits

 

[HoldenV8]

Saab pass to Trbo was so far forward as he passed it on the 20m line.

Saab and Lodge are so underdone

Just saw the replay ... that pass wouldn't have been out of place at Allegiant Stadium.

And the ref was right in line with it. No offence to him but if he couldn't tell that was forward then he should hand in his referee's ticket and go find another occupation.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

We have enough points in us but can we defend this half

History would suggest we cannot. But I'd at least like to see them try.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Garricks defence is brittle and I hold my breath when they go to that side. I am shocked they conceded 24 points in 40 minutes. Poor defence.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

What do you mean ?

Just guessing, but I reckon it's the "bugger defending, we'll just score more tries than the other team" approach.

 

[The Royal Soup]

defence wins premierships

we are miles and miles and miles off

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

And even though slow woods is playing his role ok

Yep agree never going to be easy
Interesting half awaits

From what I've seen possibly Woods best game for us.

 

[NYEagle]

We are missing Aloiai, Brown and Sipley. Lodge first game back. Never going to be easy.

These are the perfect games to give those blokes a rest . They do a ton of work each week and we need them at the back end. It’s a long season.

Nice gut on Lodge but he is doing fine.

Today’s game is purely a speed game. I think the forwards are much less relevant here.

Yep. How does Siebold address this awful mentality? Or is it coming from the coach himself?

 

[DanielTurbo888]

So I would rate our performance so far around a 2 out of 10 and we are behind by 2 pts against the wooden spooners.

We are playing like a Reserve Grade Team.

I expect major improvements.

I expect the final scoreline to be 48-30 in our favour

 

[Eagle 1]

Only 43% possession for us. Even share, Tommy will be running riot.

 

[LeonardCohen]

It’s getting to the point where the club are not going to have a choice but to move Garrick back to the wing. Maybe Talau could move into the centres?

It’s fine to give someone time to learn a position but it’s not as if he’s having the odd slip up here and there, he is literally being exposed on every occasion.

 

[mave]

Just guessing, but I reckon it's the "bugger defending, we'll just score more tries than the other team" approach.

I thought that was obvious...

 

[Waz13]

To be fair the Titans actually completed well in that half yet we still put 22 on them. Dce doesn’t kick those two rubbish kicks and we are probably comfortable right now.

Garrick is not a centre. It’s clear for everyone to see. I cringe every time the opposition head to our right side defence. Put him on the other wing and bring Talau into centre until Burbos back. Right now we have two indecisive wingers defending on that edge and it shows.

 

[Chunkytuna]

defence wins premierships

we are miles and miles and miles off

We will never be a serious threat playing like this. We’re trading blows with a bottom 4 team. That does not win premierships or even finals.
