Pre-Game Titans v Manly [Round 22, 2022]

[Ryan]

You truly are the merchant of doom !!

You don't think they've mailed it in?

36 pumped past us against the Eels
20 pumped past us against the Chooks
20 pumped past us against the Dragons
........an average 26 per game, and players pulling themselves out of games.

Haven't won in a month.

Happy to see Keppie still not in the team

But you are still on the bench Ben Not sure why

100% certain that the photo is of the 1972 Premiers. Both Dennis Ward and Allan Thomson (2nd Rower) were replaced by Johnny Mayes and Peter Peters in the 1973 Premier's side. Both teams were magnificently coached by Ron Willey.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You’re not far behind.

I’m not that bad , but yes I’m a pessimist at times !!

Titans 13+

easily we are a divided team and will not get close on Sunday.

never have I been more disinterested in a footy game than this one coming up

That bad? Cheers mate for the support
This boards becoming as splintered as the team.

I note you posted the above, so perhaps not that disinterested.

Just reading Schu's sign language, I think it means I'm wearing 6 this week ?

 

[Cameron]

If foran isn't right.
Schu has to be at 6.

Didn't like him sitting out, haven't like the sound from his management around where he should be playing and he's forms been down on last year.

However I give the kid a massive tick for turning his back on the World Cup to get himself fit for next season. Very Smart move because I think he has 1-2 seasons to cement himself in the half's before Latu Faniu comes thru.

Isn't Schu suking his belly in for the photo?

Haumole is on the phone to the Titans to follow Foran and Des to the Titans.

My observation of that pic:-
Olakau'atu disinterested
Schuster not happy
Marty miserable
Tui not happy
Guy top right red t shirt not happy
Harper not happy
Guy next to him not happy
Guy in green hoodie not happy
Davey not happy
Where are Aloiai, Koula, Paseka.....this photo worries me?

 

[ALinda]

Wait… Is there another game? Does anyone even care anymore?

Yes and yes. While there's still a faint hope, imo the fat lady hasn't sung, yet.

Guy next to Harper looks like Koula
Aloiai is at the court supporting Fainu (and taking selfies)
Paseka (my guess) is getting treatment for his knee injury
The guy next to Foz looks like Tom Symonds

My observation: the players in the above 72/73 GF team photo in #41 don't look any happier!

 

[Hibyemama]

whos the guy next to schuster? Wheres Reubs?

 

[Budgie]

whos the guy next to schuster? Wheres Reubs?

It was an RLPA thing they did, so maybe they didn't all have to be there.

 

[skeagle]

Reuben is next to Harper

 

[manly al]

Josh [ shu ] still looks like a solid unit and next to Haumole who is definitely a big unit . actually had the impression that Josh had dropped a little weight recently but maybe not that much . Harper seems to have a quite unique look with his Mo so prominent , might be trying to make it his trademark . Looks like Koula on the left of him . Good to see Tommy Symonds [ if that is him ] in the front section , really committed type player in his playing days and a good example for the current squad to be aware of

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Could be the pessimism of another lost season kicking in, but I'd say the Titans are a big chance of handing us another loss. Even though the Titans are just the kind of minnows we usually like beating up on, they're due a win and we're… not. Rabble vs Rabble; winner TBD.

Don't think that ranga is big enough across the shoulders to be Tommy…
