It took us till round 9, in 2001 to get going and round 19 2009 yet we made the grand final both years so why it differ this year? We look as strong as Eva. Parra look da goods early then went in a shell where da refs exploited. We just need to get back to basic and control the ball. We missed Corey's kicking and direction we could of won it with robson just need to be more patient. Don't listen to that kebab that says you past you score. It aint always the case build pressure first. Takka been one our best for the past 2 season dont mock him after one game. Where were the support when he made those breaks? Hoffman got injured early then played like crap lol. They will get better and learn from it. Another positive gutho got 3 from3/ right in front though, ive seen players miss from there

Work mates were paying me out about putting 5bucks on parra to win 09 grand final after getting smashed in round 6 by the bulldogs. We at least made the grand finals. The refs are a concern though. Better 5th tackle options could or eliminated the refs though. We just didn't give the titans the respect

I am not saying we are going to win the premiership but your talking like we are going to win the wooden spoon, if that's the case get ready to wipe the egg off your face

Taka is a very good attacking player but a massive liability in defence, i'd move Auvua to the centres and stick him on the bench until edwards returns.

Agree think BA needs to make the hard selection calls. Fellas Titans had 8 first graders out and 3 debutants.They played all over us in every aspect of the game for 60 mins.Its not just this game it's what we have in front of us. We got worse as game went on. I think the Sharks will expose our weakness even more. Let's see how Taka and Gutho go next week,good players in wrong positions.

I like Taka and think he's a good player, but he is no where quick enough to be a centre.

I was a bit more upset with Hoffman. Started good seem to get a knock and wasn't the same. I like takka and semi reunite and have the Jennings brothers together see what they can do. Semi will prob be with us till may then won't see him again so auva and Hoffman's chance will be there then. But I'd say brad will keep same team other than kaysa through injury and Rory for peni or vave cause he will give em a chance to redeem themselves and I say they will

Thinking about it takka was slow in attack. Made breaks but couldn't keep running. Better for bench and maybe come on to hooker position? Just a thought, when he played 5/8 he was quite creative

Taka is way to tall/big for hooker. Taka has one bad game and everyone's calling for his head. He can be a little injury prone but when on the field for us last season he was one of our best. Leave him at centre and Gutho at 5/8 until mid season, then judge them. Norman is the key to us making the finals and definitely winning the big one. Norman is our Thurston. We have won 2 out of 3 games so far. We keep going like that and we make the finals. No need to make any major changes just yet. We still have one or two good players who aren't playing for us currently so we should only get better.
