Anthony Griffin going from coach to commentator seems weird. Some excellent insight no doubt but he just doesn't sound fit for the job.

Relieved to get the win but that was brave from the Titans. We were not connecting our final passes and you never want to be in a close game with Ben Cummins reffing. He is easily the worst match official across all sports in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm not sure he doesn't have the blood of French union refs running through his veins.

Titans have a few injuries so I guess from their pov it's a shame they didn't play this well earlier.

International Coach
Is Johnson better than Stacy Jones?
I’d be inclined to say no, even though I’m a much bigger fan of Johnson than I was of Jones. Johnson has all the skills whereas I always felt like Jones was pretty much a nippy, run-first guy who wasn’t really a well-rounded playmaker like the top Aussie halves and was probably a bit overrated by NZ fans.

I still want to say no though because Jones was basically Jones for a decade, whereas Johnson has had some good patches (2011, 2014-15, 2020, 2023) and also been really **** a lot of the time. There’s an argument as to whether he’s genuinely been **** or just **** relative to expectations, but to me Johnson has actually just sucked quite a lot.

Hoping the Eels give them a hiding so the Sharks still haven't actually beaten a top eight team.

Yeah Johnson is a genuinely odd player for a bloke so obviously gifted. He really does seem to mail it in for whole seasons at a time, but when he’s switched on he’s next level

Missed the Warriors game tonight (there was a certain other game captivating my attention at the time), but it sounds like another nervy performance.

Hope we can shake off these jitters before the finals roll around.
