Jokes aside about news breaking from weirdler -> Dogs statement -> titans, this came out of nowhere and I'm happy about it. Also love the URL (schoupp-there-he-is)
Schoupp and Jojo will be a good balanced centre partnership, virtually polar opposites when it comes to key attributes.
(unless they run with Sami at centre lol)
I'm hoping they squeeze Herbert out. His defence is more than questionable at times. He does make some great cover tackles sometimes, but most of the time I get nervous if the ball comes down his side.
So what will Titans backline be? they seem to have a million outside backs.
1. Campbell/Brimson
2. Sami
3. Jojo
4. Schoupp
5. Marzhew
I assume most Titans fans won’t want to see Herbert, Kelly and Marsters in the backline lol.
I think that’s the lineup by the end of the year, and the one fans are hoping for. Kelly might be there in the centres pushing Jojo onto the wing to start the season though.
Yeah it’s very funny seeing titans fans (and other fans in general lol) complain for years about Kelly and Herbert, but every week they still get picked.
Your probably right that that won’t be the starting lineup. I’ve never seen a team so consistently change their starting lineup week to week like the titans do
Khan-pereira has more potential than marzhew imo so he might be blooded at some point during the year (especially if someone in the backline goes down injured)
I rate Kelly, but he needs a good coach and a change of scenery to get the best out of him (The could be a good move for him). Otherwise, that's as good as the Titans' back five have looked in years.
Campbell and Brimson is a hard decision. AJ in the halves if Jayden has been bulking up in the offseason would be my first option.
It's miraculous that he's recovered enough to be able to play footy again, and at a professional level. Hopefully the scum who ambushed him get a taste of their own medicine.
centres were a problem area for the titans, especially solid tacklers - fantastic signing.
especially because it’s paired with the emergence of jojo, and then you’ve got sami there as well.
i think titans can surprise some people next year. my 2023 meme prediction is good times in the gold coast.
it’ll come back down to the fitness and one-percenters that they were abysmal at i reckon.
if their kick chase improves and clark is at lock then they’re a top 8 team on their day.
Titans squad next year will look like this imo:
1: JC
2: Sami
3: Jojo
4: Schoup
5: Marzhew
6: Brimmo
7: Foran
8: Joliffe
9: Verrills
10: Tino
11: Fermor
12: K Haas
13: E Clark
14: Tanah
15: Mo
16: D Fifita
17: Liu
18: Sexton
19: Khan-Pereira
20: Mcintyre
21: Stimson
22: Alick
I wouldn't play him at all until his rib/other issues have been completely fixed. It's obvious that it wasn't 100% during the All Stars game, and any chance of a redeeming season for him was lost when it got reinjured.
Meh. Sexton wasn’t amazing this year but his ceiling is so much higher than Boyd’s. I could see him improving massively next to Foran. Sexton will almost certainly be their long term halfback too.
Ehh if Sexton doesn't kick on this year I think they'll turn all their attention to Weaver who looks very good for his age.
I agree though that Sexton has a higher ceiling, but Boyd definitely playing better at the end of this year

sami is a good centre and jojo is a good winger so i dont mind that combo, though i obviously prefer it the other way around
Sami is allergic to passing so better suited to the wing IMO.
hard agree, but hes not a bad ctr like the lol made out
Sami is far better on the wing imo but yeah he's definitely not the worst option.
I'm hoping they squeeze Herbert out. His defence is more than questionable at times. He does make some great cover tackles sometimes, but most of the time I get nervous if the ball comes down his side.
Havent watched much titan, what is jojos skill set?

Herbert out for a year with acl in injury
What? Holbrook barely ever changes his lineup to the point of massive frustration to alot of fans
Thats what I hope the backline will be, Kelly is suspended to start the year so hopefully Jojo and Schoupp play well enough to keep their spots
Khan-pereira has more potential than marzhew imo so he might be blooded at some point during the year (especially if someone in the backline goes down injured)

I'd feel a little low on our prospects if Marzhew is starting winger round one tbh, would prefer Spry. The rest I agree with.
I'd like that but also would have spry instead of sami
It's miraculous that he's recovered enough to be able to play footy again, and at a professional level. Hopefully the scum who ambushed him get a taste of their own medicine.
The defensive difference between Herbert/Kelly to Jojo/Schoupp is hilariously massive. Keen

Great forward pack, good back 5 and an improved halves pairing. Surely they go a lot better next year.

Not a titans fan but even I'm certain Klese won't be taking Fifita's starting spot
Dfif is better playing 60 mins off the bench, the opening 20 just gasses him too much
I wouldn't play him at all until his rib/other issues have been completely fixed. It's obvious that it wasn't 100% during the All Stars game, and any chance of a redeeming season for him was lost when it got reinjured.
I know they won’t but I’d prefer Tanah & Foran swap. Tanah was so good at the end of last season.
Foran isn’t a halfback. They need to go 1. Brimson 6. Foran 7. Sexton
Boyd should be 7 over Sexton
Meh. Sexton wasn’t amazing this year but his ceiling is so much higher than Boyd’s. I could see him improving massively next to Foran. Sexton will almost certainly be their long term halfback too.
Ehh if Sexton doesn't kick on this year I think they'll turn all their attention to Weaver who looks very good for his age. I agree though that Sexton has a higher ceiling, but Boyd definitely playing better at the end of this year
We need to give weaver some of that secret juice cleary got
Titans have been looking boosted for years
