Our best side is great but our second stringers have always looked sub par to me for some time.I thought we would beat the titans tonight for the sole reason I thought they had given up the ghost mentally,not because we had a better side tonight.They had 4 origin players in the pack,2 highly rated centres and wingers that always give us trouble.On paper they were better than us but the surprise was their attitude.
Robinson,Harrison,Skinner,Mauro,Liam Foran and co would not get a start anywhere but thats what happens to teams who are successful under the salary cap.The senior players got us home last week ,the rest provided effort but no real class.Whare and Buhrer are the exceptions.
Dont let this loss fool you-we are still capable of beating any side with all players on deck,tonight doesnt change that.But the nasty flipside was also revealed.We have absolutely zero immediate depth and need immense luck with injuries for rest of year.And we are not the only ones-take 4 internationals out and it is game over at most clubs.
On a foot note- i have been saying for years- when are the fans who pay money going to get a fair deal and see the players in the programme play?.Cost a lot to take kids to see Brett Stewart and Foran play.Forget the ducks and drakes.Most on here knew they wouldnt play but your average fan who doesnt deserves beeter,
