Probably not the most encouraging start for Des Hasler's tenure at the Titans.
Without David Fifita playing they're going nowhere in a hurry.

I know it's only the first game of the season, but having caught up on the Eels vs Bulldogs game, I have a couple of questions:

1) Who leads their attack? They have a 6 and 7, neither of whom seems to take charge, and an inexperienced no.1. Not a great spine.

2) Does Burton have a purpose at 5/8 apart from booting it roof high at the end of a set?

our pack is way waaaaay too small and our bench even smaller but that our spine isn't critta-burto-***bomb-mahoney is just so infuriating man
Might help if your biggest starting forward had a dig coming out of your end instead of Fifita-ing it up and only running hard 20 out from the other side’s line.

Yeah I think tbf it was Hutch’s first game at the club but would have been good to have him take a bit of charge. Then again they had very little ball til about 60 minutes in. I think Parra was completing at about 90% at one point and had over 65% of the ball.

I do think Burton plays too laterally though. I still think he’s really a centre, though it might even be worth tossing him to full back and tell him to run ffs.
I thought the Dogs’ winger was very game today. Small body but had a red hot go and scored their second try iirc.

Hudson Young is such a filthy mongrel. Only took 20 mins to get his season going in it's usual direction.

#That cheap shot on Ponga was about as blatant as you'll ever see.
this is a horrible take.

there was nothing in it until it was in super slowmo. Young was sprinting trying to catch up, Ponga got clipped, changed course/pace and they collided. Shouldn’t have been a bin.

tbf hard for burto to really get anything going when we’ve got such a small pack

we’re going to get dominated up front every game lol

Yeah but I’m still not convinced he’s a half tbh. Not sure why they haven’t bought a few big boppers tbh

Haha the tip of the round was surely the dragons at +6.5 to beat the titans, easy money. We were always going to win with Fifita out

Yeah I get the slow mo made it look worse but Hudson would have a cheap shot at anything given half a chance.

I think you’ll be alright once you get some decent big bois, but until then you’ll be bottom 4

It was a late shoulder to the head, new rules that’s always gonna be a bin

it does look muuuuuuuuch worse on slo Mo than it actually was in full speed
