Average half tbh. Some rubbish defence in the middle that Craig will be furious with.
Ref isn’t helping with inconsistent high shot calls.

It looks like we're playing just expecting to win - the Titans are looking dangerous with the ball and will expose us if we don't stay switched on in defense.
That, and some of these bullsh*t six again calls from the amateur ref for hands in the ruck when clearly our guys are just trying to pull their arms out from the tackle.

Craig won't be happy with Dale after the offload.
Dale had a couple of minutes to forget. Just before he went off I said he was close to a hook...

Hynes effort at FB in defence has been very disappointing IMO. No urgency at all.

The Titans are playing at a completely different speed & intensity to us. Our forwards have been pathetic tonight.

Also, I've never seen Olam so ineffective with his tackles. He's had a terrible night.

Did we have a captain out there tonight? Could have fooled me.
Alot of reports which aren't good. Alot are due to Peachy putting on a show or massive height differentials.

Horrible effort. Forget execution. Effort was lacking which is disappointing.
There was no fighting to get to their feet for a quicker play the ball.
Tough to watch virtually the full 80mins.

Hynes has been like that all season. It really sticks out once you notice.
Second half was disgusting, honestly. Too many errors and poor discipline. Defence was ok but a better team probably beats us by a couple of tries.

Wow can’t believe seeing every comment On here being negative and rubbishing our performance. We were great. And now 10 wins in a row.

It was pretty dreadful to watch but weirdly even with a man up and a heap of goal-line defence I just never felt like the Titans were going to win this.
This performance was probably coming for a while though. Some of the scrambling efforts on defence were decent.
All things considered the guys probably did quite well given they had little more than 40 per cent of the ball and had to rack up an extra 60 tackles.

It was a sloppy game but we got the two points. Move on to next week, most likely without Kenny, hopefully Tom is back.
Hopefully, not many of reported brigade get suspended.
