Threats in this game are 1) they have a plan that exploits our weakness 2) they ain't scared of us anymore 3) The Warriors are yet to prove this season that they can maintain intensity against lesser lights in the NRL.

It is vital we control that ball both sides of the ruck.

I am looking forward to seeing how we get on tonight, the Dolphins almost beat the Panthers last night, the mantra "anyone can beat anyone in the NRL" has become more haunting than Taika Waititi's - "No child left behind" "No child left behind".

And lets hope none of us are uttering the other immortal line from Hunt for the Wilder people "USELESS Warriors"

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Our forward (and CHT) just need to smash em bro and the win will follow.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

looks like it will be a wet track which should nullify the titans speed. Bomb to Kini all night and be up in his face with the kick chase and he will eventually fold

 

[enterthewarrior]

I just wonder how much energy has been taken out of us after last weeks physical game against Melbourne. Will we be able to back it up? I have a feeling CNK will be last minute inclusion in the team but hopefully not for AKP. I expect Leka to have a good game after being quiet last week.

 

[Inruin]

Not sure why people are thinking the rain will be good for us. A little bit of dew on the ground has been used as an excuse for us losing previously. Didn't we struggle in the wet previous seasons?

Boyds kicking game and our physicslity are going to be crucial.

Just hope there isn't a lot of slipping in to tackles resulting in penalties, HIAs and bins

 

[John Nick]

The boys need to totally forget about last week.
This is a whole new challenge .Get on top early & keep up the pressure & intensity both sides of the ball.
Titans offer different type of attack so be alert. Kick chase will be important in the wet.
But as usual 110% effort please. And no late changes please Webby,

 

[Bluecat]

Warriors 12 and under
The Tits won't be easy beats. I think they will fancy their chances.
Please Webby. No late changes to last week's team.

Dammit.

I'll leave the super soaker at home then

 

[miket12]

Need to back up from last week to show that wasn’t a game against a team on the slide.

Strangely, I’m more nervous about tonight’s game than I was the Storm…. probably because I didn’t expect that performance last week but expecting a win tonight.

And, to all those brave souls going tonight, stay dry and warm, remind the ref he’s in our house, and enjoy singing our song at the end.

 

[Cces]

First game day at Mt Smart for me thanks to a brother in law to be.
Land early enough to catch the back end of NSW Cup for first time too

 

[Lord Gnome of Mooloolaba]

Let's gone eat up da Wahs etc.

 

[3rdstriker]

If we have really turned the corner then we should win comfortably tonight.
The Titans are the classic banana skin game for us a bogey team with good pace.
I reckon up the wahs and 13+ today.

 

[PNG Kiwi]

The Titans have become a bogey team for us but in this competition you must show up every week.
Dial in earn the right to win, win the grind and everything else will take care of itself.
The other key element, is the chemistry in the team, a winning team shouldn't be changed.

No easy games in the NRL

Got to turn up and give 120%

Hopefully no mucking around with the team list this week.

 

[juju]

The Titans is always such a strange fixture.
They're one club that doesn't seem to have much passion surrounding them, they have no fans. - it's hard to feel pumped to be playing them.
That's despite them being a decent watch regularly.

AKP has to play, would be mortified if CNK came in for him which could only mean CNK centre and Roger back to wing.

If CNK is to come back in, it can only be at fullback. I'm not sold on either option. Actually with AKP in and Dallin in great form, that gives us the option to play Roger at fullback as well. He would need to do better under the high ball but especially once Rocco is back that becomes a real option.

I don't think we'll match last week's intensity because that was something special but we'll do enough to get the win today
