We have done a Q & A with a few of the Manchester Titans players to get there take on there team and there season and who you should look out for today .
A word from the GM of the Manchester Titans Jon Homer
“ This year was really always going to be a transitional year for the team with a new management team and coaching staff coming in . Having said that we ’ re pleased with the majority of the performances on the field ( still in the hunt for the playoffs ) and we ’ re in a much more stable state behind the scenes with a new Sponsor in Manchester Printers and being involved in lots of PR events at Manchester City , the Rugby League World Cup , etc .
Coach Dias is starting to put his mark on the team but it ’ s next year he ’ s going to expect the team to really step up and play at the level he expects them to .”
