Now you guys know why the dogs won’t make the 8,if the teams above them win few games just makes it alot harder, example is knights and manly winning recently
Knights ain't doing shit mate

Believers..give yourselves an uppercut.
Always, things can get frustrating and being stubborn can be the worst thing you can do.
They can instruct the public or comp but if you know you have been had you can back yourself.
There's nothing stopping this team having a strong run to September.
I still believe they can score three tries in six minutes.
Sink the link, destress.
Sorry for the bullshit bestowed on thy .

We have the bye this weekend coming and then 8 more rounds to the end of the season. If we win ALL those games we'll be on 26 points and that should be more than enough to make the 8.

Last year the Titans scraped into the 8 on for and against with a total of 22 points and going back to 2019, I didn't worry about 2020 as the season was stopped and rounds were lost, the Sharks made the 8 and were on 24 points.

So if we were to lose one or 2 at the very least, we are still a chance of scraping back into the 8.

We'll be fresh after the bye and meet Souths in a fortnight who have to play Newcastle next week so we have a big chance of an upset in that game.

My prediction if we maintain our form and continue improving:
Souths W
Titans W
Knights W
Cowboys L
Warriors W
Eels W
Sharks L
Manly W

= 22 points

Top 8 is a stretch if I’ve ever seen if we beat Cronulla I would’ve backed it but I don’t feel we can go head to head and go 4/5 against the likes of cowboys, cronulla, manly, south’s and eels. 24 points meaning we can only drop one more with teams above us dropping a few games is the only way we get top 8.

Next 3 games defines and will provide insight on the rest of our season. Questions arise regarding our attack, we have the strike undoubtedly and we’re an improved side however a lot has to fall our way to make the 8. Time will tell.

Our lack of first grade depth especially in the backs was exposed against the sharks and is why I think we will win just 4 of our last 8 games. Reserve graders like morrin docker clay and kiraz have come in and done a great job for us. But if we stack our team with too many reserve graders and fringe reserve graders including the likes of Casey Stimson, Waddell, patolo doorey we will struggle with the big sides no matter how well they play.

A slow wet game suited Latrell if we put points on early keep Latrell pinned we could fuckin smash souths
Cody Walker, Graham, Johnston will eat us alive out on the left edge especially if we are playing duds like Casey, Okunbor, Burns at wing. Need Allen back desperately. Wing is a huge problem for us, if only cotric wasn’t so overpaid here :confused:

Is that the Knights game? We can beat them maybe Warriors and a chance again against Parra and no more id say.
Nope will only beat Warriors in our final 5 games.

Final 6 has Newcastle in it. If Knights are full strength in Newcastle, they will beat us if TPJ and Thompson are out injured.

To be successful we desperately need at least one "no nonsense" prop forward. Apart from Vaughn (which we havnt re-signed?) we dont have one.
We have a lot of backrowers filling in for a prop. King is going OK as a fill in but is basically another back rower.
Thompson, TPJ, Waddell, Jackson, are all back rowers. Patolo and Seumanafagai have not made the step up.
Time to bite the bullet.
