Loved the Tigers game.

So many death riders of Benji, but if anyone can bring them together its probably Benji. Will they win the comp, unlikely. Can they restore some pride in the jersey? Lets hop so .

Bula
Api
Seezer
Papalii
Utoikamanu

Surely they can mould the base of a decent team from that.

Seeing Luai as surplus to requirements if they can keep that up}

I dont mind Luai. If you want heroes, you have to have villains.}

They don’t want to lose Galvin and Sezer led them around well. Olam was huge for them}

And Sam Fainu. A few Manly fans will be watching his progress with mixed feelings.
Tigers and Dogs will cause the odd upset for sure, Dragons already have, but inconsistency will keep them out of the 8 I think.
Knights could be in a bit of strife too!

Good problem to have
Sezer can either be injury depth or they put one of their spine into the centres.}

They’ve got Adam Douehi to come back yet and I’d be putting him into the centres personally. Think they floating Sezer to lock as an option}

Yeah but Douehi isn't a team man "I want to play stand off or I refuse to play drama" maybe they are better trading him to some other team. Thoughts? Or am I alone with reservations about him.}

Eels v Manly should be a cracker. I'm leaning slightly to Manly but those Eels out up a good showing against Penrith with a number of injuries.

Knights should have enough to beat the Storm. At home, better forward pack, storm have both halves out.}

Koroisau was good. Siezer didn't overplay things, came in and kicked them into position.}

No I agree with you, need a team to take him though is a conundrum too. There are better halves there now so he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on in demanding the position, either play where we want you to and to the best of your ability or leave}

Don’t think it matters really

They’ll have a point to prove after we knocked to em out of the finals last year

If I had a choice - hope the Storm flogs them at home}

Indeed. I thought Des might have had that short term spike in performance and results that he usually does when he takes over. Titans gave looked terrible in their two games so far and must be in the running for the bottom 4 and spoon?}

Draw a line through the Titans this season.. they are done

I have been contemplating Management's and the coaching staff's reaction to this news.
I think there are two choices
1) Confess they need to put a line through this season. Forward pay some contracts. release some players, and make this year about blooding in some prospects
2) Be emotionally intelligent and realise the fans will not accept a quitter mentality and keep trying and striving and believing they can make the playoffs until mathematically ruled out.

OF those two options i see them going with Option 2. Option one is too risky for a coach like Hasler who has just joined that organisation to recommend.

They will figure they are getting back Campbell and Fifita and they will boost them this weekend. And that overall it is important and healthy to think positively.
I personally wouldn't recommend either strategy if I were Des instead would develop a strategic options paper and present to the board and the CEO and let them choose this important strategy and then I would implement whatever they chose.}
