Looks like we will be playing the titans rd 1 2016.unsure whether its up there or a home game. Speaking to staff at the league's club today and said its on the money to happen.
This would be a deliberate attempt by the NRL to publicise DCE and Nate Myles lining up for the Eagles...booing and all.
If we don't spank them hard then that will be a very bad sign for the season. They should be nothing but terrible.
An underwhelming match up to start the season but a good opportunity for Manly to belt a team first up. I guess it will be a Titans home game so their 5 supporters can express their outrage at DCE
Will the titans be able to field a competative team? Strong runours that the cowgirls are close to signing James Roberts
Last year they gave parra the home game to give them an advantage over us for the first round and no doubt they will give the titans the home game for the same reason. I wish it was a home game for us as it would be a good crowd (15,000ish if a sunday 2pm spot) as the fans would be keen to see our new team as opposed to struggling for 9,000-10,000 halfway through the year.
We should win by plenty, 2 points in the bag you'd have to think. It's unlike the NRL to do us any favours and that makes me slightly nervous....
I wouldn't bet on the new squad firing anytime pre Origin. If we are 5 and 5 after 10 games we will be sitting pretty if we have most troops on deck.
Yep it's not just like adding in say Myles and the rest being the same, this is a whole new era, zero culture, zero combinations. I'd agree could be a tough start.
