How do the Dolphins look to you, SB?

[SB]

The Titans bounced back in our final trial today beating Dolphins 26-18. Both sides were pretty much full strength so it was super pleasing.

The Matilda’s are getting spanked in the She Believes Cup 4-0 by Japan. Their form has fallen off a cliff recently.

Some big scores in the Rugby

Yeah only a preseason game so can’t judge too much. But the broncos looked really fit and organised which is a nice change from last season.

How do you think the Titans will go this year? Second season under Hasler so he’s had time to implement his system.

We could just sneak top 8 but it’ll be interesting to see how the bottom 8 sides perform with numerous teams seemingly strengthening. Wests with Luai, Saints with Gutherson, Parramatta with Lomax etc We depend heavily on how Foran leads the team & yesterday he looked ordinary. It’ll be interesting to see how Carter Gordon goes after looking promising in the centres. He’s the rugby convert we got from the Wallabies how plays in the halves.

Watching it right now. Have the Titans got a few starters in there?

Good start for the broncos.

The Broncos played a trial last weekend & this is our first hit out & it shows. We did have quite a few starters but also missing 5 players to the Indigenous Māori match.

NRL trials have started on the weekend. My GC Titans have our first trial match in Toowoomba vs the Broncos this weekend. Several players missing due to the indigenous match

What did you think of it SB?

Not a big fan tbh. Way too much BS going on all over the place. Mind you the right team won on the day. They played fantastic & the first ever Aussie received a winners medal. Oh & I’ve never seen so many grown men skipping around a field when they do something half decent.

Roll on the NRL season though

Super Bowl on today at 10am QLD time if anyone is interested. I think this’ll be the first one I’ve watched. Starting to enjoy NFL a bit more but not totally sold on it yet.

Good point re moving to 4 teams - with the Wallabies made up mainly for 32 private schools in NSW and QLD, hopefully it helps raise our standards a bit

Same problem in most of the sports where they’ve tried to add new team. You could look at the difference between the top and bottom teams in both the NRL and AFL with the recent additions and see the same problem. Take a couple teams out and the extra quality could bring the top and bottom closer together.

I’ve seen the Drua but not Moana & yeah they weren’t bad to watch at all. I think the lack of quality players to sustain 5 sides is the exact same problem the A League is having.
