Titans could roll Roosters

[kruT]

playing wrong players..

[Bahrain Rooster]

Yeah, nah. I don’t agree with that. The team is held together by tape at this point but we still have the best spine in the NRL. That and SST who’s been in great form should get us home.

The Ragtag Warriors proved last night that any team can beat any other team at any time. If the Roosters take the Titans lightly, they will lose.

[Bondicigar]

Never take any game light but this does present a chance to rest a few player who need it the most.

[chicka]

I am tipping Hall to bag a try against the Titans. I still think we should have too much firepower and hopefully Teddy, Keary and Manu can carve them open enough times to come out on top.

Agreed.

They COULD roll us because we're using a lot of 2nd/3rd string players but Robbo's made the right call in not playing people who are seriously injured. Most of them will return soon.

Titans will still have to control Teddy, Manu, Keary, Flanno, JWH, Friend, SST, Liu, Sitili, Collins, Butch...etc if they wanna win. IMO we have better coaching, systems and players than the Titans, even without some of our big guns.

I don’t think we will lose but $1.07 is ridiculous

[mattyh]

total danger game imo banana peel

[The Skeez]

Not with the side they’ve got. We will be alright.

This is the critical point for me. We should win but, if even a hint of complacency sets in, we could be in a spot of bother. I think we will get there, but it will only be by a margin of something like six or eight.

At the moment, under the circumstances, I will take that.

haven't been following em but watched their second half last week and they're no easy beats.

I agree. I would have thought that we would have drifted out to, say, at least $1.50 or more. I always get nervous when the odds are this lop sided!

If we make a lot of errors and the refs do their same dirty deed of pushing us to peel off tackles at a super human pace while letting them suffocate us, they'll be a chance (so long as they lift and play their best game of the season).A CHANCE... if all that happens.

This will be a good test of our systems. IMO the big difference between us and them is that Robbo develops players (e.g. Teddy and Keary weren't even rep players when he signed them, now they are the best in the business... other than that he's mostly got home grown stars and guys like JWH/SST/Tupou who technically played elsewhere but found form under our systems). Whereas thingamabob inherited Peat, Proctor, Peachey, Arrow, Taylor, AJ Brimson (who I swear should black basketball with a name like that)...etc and has done nothing with them.

I see no reason why Hall, Ikuvalu and Fifita shouldn't be up to the same standard as the nuffies the Titans are fielding. Don is okay at scoring tries. Hodgo reckons Copley is Origin standard. Whatevz... if we respect them we should be able to compete with them. Unlike last week, we haven't just had 5 days off so I expect a LOT better!!!

At least complacency won't be an issue for us today. It could be for them thought with so many of our regulars out. They will surely be thinking they are a chance in this game. Based on our recent form and their recent form they could be.

How unfortunate that this observation is true.
