    Pretty rare to concede a try off your own 7 tackle restart lol. Tedesco and Manu wtf was that on zero tackle?

    That is a fucking disgraceful rule. Regrip my arsehole. How can anyone look at that and think he hasnt scored.

    Lol good on Mitchell. Stick it right up em. Haha.

    Anyone else not a fan of the interpretations of one on one strips now? The whole 3 people going into a tackle and a couple dropping off being ok just doesn't quite seem right to me.

    And how long do we think Madge has got? I tend to think Doueihi is there best player so maybe he improves them a bit. Surprised they didn't make him solo skipper.

    He didn't score, if that was anywhere else on the field it would be a knock on. You wouldn't get away with playing the ball like that, so why should you be allowed to score a try like that?

    Easy enough to score a try these days as it is, let's not go back to ridiculous interpretations on control where a blurred fingernail was good enough. Just hold the ball.

    Think they missed a big opportunity to get rid of Brooks in the off season and refresh their halves pairing.

    Looking from the outside in just looks like there's so much pressure on that club and they really lack leadership at all levels of their club.

    The pokies story was such a stitch up too and watching all the fox pundits go along with it was a fucking joke. I don't even know why I tune into 360 anymore, you would think having that many ex players around someone would've at least called the 2 idiots out.
     
  9. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    He had his entire hand on the ball and planted into the ground. You absolutely would get away with playing the ball like that.

    The idea that you need to regrip because of prior possession but not if youre say, chasing a kick is ludicrous. It is the exact same action. What comes before that is irrelevant. Thats been a try for 100 years.

    Ray Stone scoring a match winning Golden Point try whilst doing his ACL in the same play.

    Tall about bitter sweet.

    Nonsense.

    You're emotionally connected to what the game used to be and you're right that used to be a try and probably was for 100yrs but we're over 110yrs old now and the game has moved on. As you love to say what's the point of consistency if it's consistently wrong?

    Don't drop the ball.

    Titans have scored 13 tries this year only 2 of which have been in the 2nd half and one of those 2 was a minute after half time.

    Nah mate. Messy play-the-balls in every game.

    The game has moved on? Yeah but you can still score a try multiple ways without gripping the ball at all....just not if you already had possession. Makes zero sense.

    Same old Titans fade. Happened plenty of times last year.

    Blows me away. Thought the 5 captains thing epitomised what you're talking about, no one prepared to go for a diffrerent direction.

    Though my gut tells me they're more likely to sack Madge, have Sheens come in as coach, announce they've signed a 40 year old Gareth Ellis for next year and Tedesco on a 7 year deal from 2025 or something

    Looks like Dearden had a good game against the Broncs?

    Thought he looked good last week Vs the Raiders, real conviction in his running game and his selective passing down that left edge was a lot better than I had seen from him in previous seasons.

    This is probably the best side he's played with so we're getting a better idea of him.

    Kicking game was also pretty good. Little effort area improvement I want to keep seeing.
     
  19. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Dearden is still a dud.

    Still think it's madness that Drinkwater isn't in the team.
