Post Match Titans v Warriors - [Round 25, 2025]

[Beastmode]

You just reminded me of wrighty’s point that a decent win shows Ford costs us

Yeah @Wrighty
Full credit to you sir.

You’re not wrong.

For once……

Barring the last 10 minutes i thought that was a solid win and hopefully the team can build on this performance.

It felt like our gameplan was to play more expansive with our carries and not just relying solely on one out hitups; with that being said, it still seemed fairly controlled and deliberate rather than ad lib footy.

Having Berry back was massive and the kick chase and defensive line definitely benefitted from having him there - hopefully he pulls up all good.

Overall, I'm absolutely thrilled that the lads are back in the top 4 with 2 rounds to play; this season is in their hands and considering all of the injuries and disruptions that is an achievement in and of itself.

Up the faaarkin wahs!!!!

That Ref was excellent, it just goes to prove how crooked pricks like Klein and the Dog Ref are.

 

[snake77]

Can't we have one game where the refs are good and Brandy isn't a bellend.

I'm not a programmer but I think the NRL programing language can't handle an "and"

It works with an if/then not and if/and.

If the refs are good.
Then
Brandy is a bellend.

If the refs are good
and
Brandy is ...............................System Crash.

EIT put in a big shift. Almost 150m in less than 50 minutes. Would like to see if he can emulate it next week. Since Barnett went down we've really needed another reliable 100m+ per game forward to get us rolling in the middle.

 

[Piltdown Man]

Aye, anyone miss Jackson Ford ???

OK - Fairs fair - no one missed Jackson.

You can have one or the other - not both!

Agree on the last 10. I reckon they got ahead of themselves. The razzle-dazzle off loads nearly came off but twice they coughed up the ball and never quite got back to the same level intensity… and ended up looking a bit silly and a little bit disrespectful. But that’s as critical as I could go. Great win. Great to watch- who knew Tanah dreams of being running half?

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Fuck those losers reckoned we wouldn’t win another game before the Drags game, guess what fukas

A good chunk of this forum didn’t think we’d win another game, I’m half expecting to see posts about how we can still miss the 8.

At least we can put the mystical powers of the Gold Coast titans to bed.

EIT was mean! Adds some size to our middle, with a log jam of 2nd rowers i hope he stays prop

 

[snake77]

Ieremia-Toeava played at centre in one of our trials and looked pretty good. I was hoping he'd debut as he could cover second row / centre.

Those are hard position to defend. But thought we'd see some minutes there due to injuries.

Instead he's been in the middle. That might be where they seem him best suited, or it could be to simiplify things.

Still crazy he was playing centre in the trials and didn't look off the pace.

OK - Fairs fair - no one missed Jackson.

he's limited minute player 40-50mins MAX IMHO prob good for him to have a rest prior to finals footy .. but hard to push out these young guns

 

[CWC]

Hypothetical, if toeava continues playing like this, Does Laban come back in?

Laban might be touch and go R1, but I fear they both lose out to TSS when Ford returns We really need size and power against the top teams

Apparently Dez threw a tanty in the presser. I’m currently watching the other game, but can’t wait to see this….

 

[MrFrankWhite]

EIT has a massive upper frame. Would expect to see him a few kgs heavier next season.

Grabs the popcorn and heads straight to NRL.com

Rookie refs are tight!

 

[Noitall]

Was really impressed with Tanah Boyd, one criticism would be pushing a couple of last tackle chips too far causing 7 tackle sets, one that shouldn’t have been but will be costly again top teams. His goal kicking and on field kicking is solid though. Nice to see him taking some runs in the last couple of weeks. Really have thought TMM’s defence has become really physical since taking on the utility role

I heard that and thought I'd listen to it.

3 minute press conference on the NRL site.

If it is what I watched he didn't go off at the refs. Said they were poor and made too many mistakes. Complimented us. Said Kini might start next week but they are slowly introducing him.

The closest he went off was at the end when asked about David Fafita.

Basically said this isn't the platform to answe that. He's signed for 2026 and this isn't the platform to talk about recruitment.

I thought he was actually pretty good.
