Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2864643, member: 1808"] [URL]https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/titans/mark-carroll-delivers-brutal-sledge-at-gold-coast-titans-for-shocking-capitulation-against-broncos/news-story/9765d7bddd9f57f9f2c338377bbb5487[/URL] Brisbane are well on their way to securing a top four spot, while the Titans are dangerously close to getting sucked into the scrap to avoid the wooden spoon. Former NRL hard man Carroll suggested they were already starting to think about packing their bags and heading off on holidays to start their off-season. So bad was their effort he compared their defence to arm wrestling a grandmother. “The Titans were ordinary. It’s like as a kid when you go to see your Nanna, and you put your arm up and you beat her in an arm wrestle,” Carroll said on Fox Sports’ [I]Gameday Live[/I]. “They had nothing. Seriously, they had nothing. “I think a few of these boys are thinking about their trip away, which is in four weeks, and I think they’re already on the plane.” With the under-pressure Des Hasler taking the focus off the problems of other sides, Titans coach Neil Henry has avoided any intense scrutiny over his position but with an underachieving roster sinking like a stone late in the season, the heat is starting to rise. While choosing not to point the finger directly at Henry’s coaching for the Titans’ struggles, Carroll expressed bemusement over their inability to put together a string of good performances. “It’s disappointing because they are such a great side on their day,” Carroll said. “It’s like the Warriors mate, you just don’t know which one you’re gonna get. It’s get a coin, flip it, ‘OK we’ll play well today, or we’ll play not that good’, so that’s footy.” [/QUOTE]
