Was thinking ACL but it did look a bit odd shaped to me too

Trainer was pulling on the leg a little, might have been trying to get it to pop back
Didn’t look pretty that’s for sure.

Whilst I don’t like him (at all), definitely wouldn’t wish a dislocated knee/knee cap on anyone (even him).

Yep was just about to say I dislike him immensely but hate kneecap injuries enough more


equally glad I missed seeing it live though

Didn’t look like anything when it happened, but hoping off it looked distorted a bit.

Don’t think they have actually admitted what the issue is (unless I missed it).

Said believes to be meniscus so most likely a flap of that’s folded over and got caught, locking up the knee.
Maybe some swelling started quickly? It did look weird.

Might be fine to ignore it if it doesn’t keep catching, otherwise just arthroscope trim probably

D.Fifita is useless

Is he the next Tony Williams?

Did a fair bit of work in terms of runs and tackles (apparently not his norm as he prefers to be the Latrell of second rowers) which seems to have blunted his impact plus some bad passes/errors

I'm sure the Titans don't pay him the big bucks just to be solid or a worker, better value players out there for that. Would think they are after that bustling game changing impact he made his name on. But who knows if he isn't David Fifita maybe that big frame of his doesn't rack up those metres or make all those tackles and draw in those defenders when he gets the ball.

Tino is out meaning more work and responsibility for others and who knows what Des has told him he wants from him

Still not great value or consistency from him, wouldn't swap him for our Jacky Williams

Thought it was going to be kikau but the way the past couple of seasons have gone it's David Fifita.

Kikau looks to be coming good again after a ho hum first season with Doggies

I wonder if David Fifita will activate the last 2 years of his Titans contract or look to move on. Not sure how motivated the guy is to stick it out with the Titans or play the kinda role he is right now.

Some club out there would take the $ gamble on him and hope he gets back to his best.

Titans worth a cheeky fiver with odds over $5 for the win. Cows are silly short odds

This comp is wide open, hard to get a read on teams, not alot of consistency, upsets happening every round anyone can beat anyone on their day

I know Tits are in a bad spot and Cows are going ok but the Tits have to win a game at some point would think and they usually turn up and have a crack when playing other QLD teams - at least for the obligatory 30-40 mins

As for refs - they are not corrupt, just humans under fatigue and pressure working in a bad and complicated system
Titans have fundamental problems. Cowboy aren't convincing me - they have something a bit off. Cows can fix it & challenge for finals (my early call is they miss the 8) but Titans are too far off the pace required.

Dave Taylor another big lazy slug
Dominated every grade until FG. Then it became harder & he didn't want much to do with hard work. Coulda been anything. Imagine if he was smart & committed like Billy Slater. Taylor & Milford probably 2 biggest wastes of talent last 20yrs.
