The 8-6 scoreline was probably fair at halftime. I thought we were doing a good job to stop them from getting their game on. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were doing a good job on us and then there\u2019s probably a turning point there in the second half, which I\u2019m sure I\u2019m going to get asked about. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish that moment was different because I think it would have probably been a game that went down to the wire and then we just dropped our heads and they smelled a bit of blood and put us away.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n<p>\u2018DON\u2019T HAVE TO BE A BRAIN SURGEON\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-craig-bellamy-press-conference-harry-grant-melbourne-storm-vs-penrith-panthers-round-5\/news-story\/a1b1696fbdddb3ab4efdcd4f9ac51398\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bellamy\u2019s reserve grade threat after rout<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2018TAKEN THE WHISTLE\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-cameron-ciraldo-press-conference-stephen-crichton-bronson-xerri-kurt-mann-bulldogs-vs-rabbitohs-round-5\/news-story\/c038dbd20fd8e365f13ed979f425a05b\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ciraldo fumes at Bulldogs penalty count amid Crichton blow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2018ARE YOU NOT BAFFLED?\u2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com.au\/nrl\/nrl-premiership\/nrl-2026-stephen-crichton-suffers-shoulder-injury-for-bulldogs-update-cameron-ciraldo-keeps-bronson-xerri-on-the-bench\/news-story\/b47c2b42bd7580e49f749376687f61b3\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ciraldo answer raises eyebrows after strange Dogs call<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Josh Hannay and Tino Fa&#8217;asuamaleaui.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n<p>Hannay was clearly annoyed with the momentum swing that saw his team go from potentially pushing the Broncos for a win to chasing the game for the rest of the contest. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating, it\u2019s a hard game right and you\u2019ve got to work hard to earn your opportunities and so when you earn your opportunity and then you ice it and it gets taken away, it\u2019s frustrating,\u201d Hannay said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating for the players, you\u2019ve got to understand the psyche in that moment.

It would have got the crowd into the game and I thought we were playing well enough. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were working hard enough to be in it with 20 to go and then it was taken away.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Despite their fourth loss of the season, Hannay is still proud of his team and believes they are on the right track, but conceded they need to get more line ball calls go in their favour. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really proud of a lot of what they\u2019re doing,\u201d Hannay said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the effort and grit is obvious. I think anyone who\u2019s watching this team play can see that and that is going to hold us in good stead over time. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment and I\u2019ve been through this, there\u2019s a lot of effort and hard work and preparation going in and there\u2019s just not a lot going our way. There\u2019s not a lot of bounces of the ball calls and that\u2019s not a whinge. <\/p>\n<p>Broncos pounce after &#8216;Titans Heartbreak&#8217; | 00:42<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the game, right? It turns and it will turn because of how hard they\u2019re working. They\u2019re not out there looking for shortcuts or cheap options, they\u2019re really trying to work through a contest every week and I\u2019m really proud of them for that. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not going out there and looking for an easy kill. They\u2019re doing it hard and they\u2019re just not getting the reward at the moment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenge for them is to stay at it and for us to stay at it because I do know it will turn and when it does, we\u2019ll go on a run.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I Understand&#8217;: Shane responds to Booing | 05:03<\/p>\n<p>Titans skipper Tino Fa\u2019asumaleaui challenged his team and himself to take more ownership of their individual performances to close the gap and win more games. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re improving every week,\u201d Fa\u2019asuamaleaui said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of things that we need to work on, but still not happy with probably some of the things during the game, the little things that matter, that me personally, that I need to fix up. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there is a lot of grit and effort like the coach is saying and I think Moeaki Fotuaika has really set the tone for that, even when he came on today, he made some big plays. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll keep getting better as a pack. We\u2019re still striving to become a powerhouse forward pack and we\u2019re working really hard, so hopefully every week we can get better and improve on it and then we start to get our rewards.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Titans coach Josh Hannay was frustrated with a forward pass call that denied AJ Brimson a try, which&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[18743,64,63,71039,4428,286400,4612,18387,241346,4746,761,762,158,20429,26107,13391,4583,85,186900,53259,92326],"class_list":{"0":"post-585255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-adam-reynolds","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-ball-calls","12":"tag-brisbane-broncos","13":"tag-broncos-pounce","14":"tag-gold-coast-titans","15":"tag-josh-hannay","16":"tag-line-ball-calls","17":"tag-mark-st-john","18":"tag-national-rugby-league","19":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","20":"tag-nrl","21":"tag-pass-call","22":"tag-penalty-count","23":"tag-reece-walsh","24":"tag-shane-flanagan","25":"tag-sports","26":"tag-team-play","27":"tag-tino-fa","28":"tag-turning-point"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
