That game was a case of one team fighting to be in the finals, and the other just wanting to get the finals started already. We look like we're going through the motions a bit at the moment, but purely because the games between now and the finals don't mean much to us.

I'd like to see Capewell come onto the bench personally. At the expense of Graham's mate. We need someone on the field full of energy and keen to impress.
I know you don't change a winning side and all that but I'd like to jsl in the squad if we're up against big packs

Our forwards were just as damaging in attack though. Wade, fifs, gal made strong charges and good meters. The issue in defense was the titan big boys running at chad and out wide. In the middle our ruck defense was still fairly solid but they had their lapses for sure.

Hurrel loves being a handful against us

We still do need that extra genuine prop.

Totally agree mate. Not that heighno deserves to be dropped but obviously someone needs to make way for him, but tagas been decent lately and we need his big body. Him and jsl our bench props

I don't think it was our worst game tonight but geez we really looked tired. A lot of that was due to the way the Titans played, as many have said, they really took it to us.

Wade was head and shoulders the best player on the park. Absolutely brilliant 80 minute performance.
Ennis competed until the end and Prior was again bloody strong.

As I've said in the 3-2-1 thread, Fifita was brilliant but geez he loses his cool way too often. Could have gone against us when he scored his try and there were other times the refs told him to cool it.
Stupidly threw the ball away at one stage too when we were down 18-12.

It's going to be interesting against the Raiders. Definitely will be no easy game. Need to freshen right up and be ready for it.
How many training sessions do we really need this week? What's the absolute minimum number?

I don't think we need to make any changes although I heard Lewis had a bit of a cork, maybe he needs to be rested.
Field goal practice for JM. I don't know how he missed so many.

It's a conundrum ! No one deserves to be dropped but that's why coaches are paid the big bikkies to make those calls

Yes agree JSL could add a bit of muscle... We are missing real genuine grunt up front The Titans bashed us, It will be interesting to see how we stand up to the Raiders.

Titans gave us a taste of our own medicine, right from the start. Bashed us, ran at Chad all night, kicked to Feki most of the time and not Holmes. It was a great game plan.

Tonights game proves what Flanno already knows. Next season we simply have to buy 2 big hard running bookends. 2 or 3 at different levels. Fact is we only have one player who is a prop through and through. The rest are converts and doing an awesome job, but maybe it's one convert too many in the side.
