**** weekend to be a Gold Coast supporter. Suns �� Titans ��

Magic day out on the hill for us Tigers fans ... ... couldn't have been any closer with us winning it with 10 secs left !

Poor quality game though - either side could have lost it ..

Yup ...the hill is an interesting spot to study humanity .. and a proper pub crawl to get there too

indeed, especially being in an area that has become so gentrified in the last 15-20 years, to see all those oldies come out of the woodwork for the league games is awesome

Leichhardt is such an awesome ground to watch a game, I'm super jealous

I’m really hoping Benji Marshal can turn them around. He’s always come across really well and a likeable guy. Only his first full season though but there always seems to be trouble behind the scenes. All that carry on about Galvin recently too, hopefully they can settle down and stabilise a bit.

I've had "that" hope for at least 20 years since we won the damn thing ... .. Benji does come across as a top guy ... but as you say there's always some damn BS going on behind the scenes and we have had so many good players jump ship over the years ...Benji is the key to a rebuild

What else do they have now?

I know they have union. Do they have the champions league matches there? Can’t remember where anything was apart from Optus having the premier league.

Nice deal.

Yeah they’ve got CL & the two comps below it, FA Cup, PL & Women’s Euro’s

Also Rugby, tennis, motorsports & cycling

Optus sport have sold the Premier League & FA Cup rights to Stan Sports as of August 1st. So from now on Stan will have PL FA & CL all in one place. Minimum cost is $12 for the basic Stan plus the $15 Sports up to $22+$15 for 4K & multi devices version.

So as an Optus sport subscriber I’ve transferred over to Stan for $9.99 pm until Jan1 & that includes Stan premium & Stan Sport. Winning big time.

I'm headed to the Titans next game v's the Tigers at Leichhardt - surely we can at least beat you guys

Put off the form reversal another week please. We’d like to offload the wooden spoon to Parramatta.

Yeah he’s got a big reputation as the next highly rated assist to break into a top job soon. I know plenty of Broncos fans wanted him to take over from Walter’s either as the main guy or as an assistant for a year or two under an experienced guy before taking over.

Yeah I’m not sure if he’s ready for the **** show Titans yet. It’s the Bermuda Triangle for coaches.

Yeah I went there once back in the 80’s to see Western Suburbs vs Balmain. Who’d have thought back then they’d be forced into merging.

One name I heard mentioned was the ex Cowboy Josh Hannay who’s been an assistant at 2 clubs & apparently highly commended so far. We played much better yesterday despite losing by 12 points. We got it back to 6 late on but couldn’t go on with it.

Any suggestions about who will replace him?
