They are the worst defensive team in the comp. And being undefeated at fortress Brookie, (sounds better than 4Pines Park) this season, we will want to maintain our winning ways at home.

I feel like we wouldn’t loose much if we replaced Keppies bench spot for John’s to cover injuries. Bulle and Sips have been awesome and give us enough grunt in the middle. For me Keppie has been lacking discipline and not making much of an impact. I still rate him but think the spots better suited to a utility. Love the idea of persisting with Fainu as Kelma struggles to play 80 and I think Fainu could be really dangerous on an edge when the defence tires.
Would love to see Garrick at centre as he wants to play there and I think koula and Garrick would be our strongest centre combo with sabb and vega/tippy on the other wing.

At the end of the press conference as dce was standing up and walking out someone asked him about Parker and I though I heard him say “he is gone” implying season done. Could of miss heard it but won’t be surprised to see poor Brad ruled out for a while

Titans are similar to the Dragons [ or tend to be ] in games against Manly , for some reason find it hard to get the better of them . Not sure how the collapse against the Dolphins will influence their play this week but were quite competitive for a good while against a generally in form Broncs outfit recently . So in no way would underestimate them , and a some big match players in Fifita and Brimson and Tino when they are on . Have some confidence with a fairly stoic defensive effort against the Tigers and if a match fit one and 6 is picked for Manly , should have the all round game for another very handy 2 points .

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Schuster to cover hooker and Haumole to 5/8.
Put some fear into them.

Was at that game
It was a bull**** penalty.
Was at that game , with a massive contingent of the old MWTS crew.

It was absolute and utter bull**** , and to his credit Preston Campbell came out a week later and said “ I milked that one and it won the game for us but to be honest Manly deserved the win”.
If you were there you’d remember when the Titans players came around and gave us the bird , and the crowd went ape **** !!!
The Titans have a very good side , with some very good players , but have lapsed in their concentration at times in games.
I think the home advantage will win this , but they need to get this complacency bull**** out of their game.
You’d expect Sandwich to be at fullback, Tiopytoes at wing , John’s at 5/8 and Weekes to the bench.
Keppie to drop out.
Or it might be both Keppie & Woods and add Fainu in.

Who takes Parker place at centre?
Garrick to centre,Tippy to wing and Weekes to fullback.
Ah yes I’d forgotten about Hank
Yeah maybe , if so who slots onto the bench as a back up ??

Morgan Boyle is keen
Can we have Millie instead ?
I guess this is where they’ll have to ask for an exemption and bring up another player from Reggie’s , maybe Myers !!
Fulton. He is in the 30. We need to use him.
At centre ??
