Titans vs Tigers

The Gold Coast Titans have narrowly avoided one of the most embarrassing defeats in club history after snatching an 86 victory against the Wests Tigers in ...

The Gold Coast Titans have pulled a rabbit from the hat to deny the Wests Tigers in a game rugby league fans have absolutely savaged.

AAP’s Ed Jackson added: “For everything that has been eye-bleedingly bad in this game, Marzhew’s carries out of defence have been pretty damn good. Early in the second half, Alexander said the Titans’ passing had been “horrible” while the Tigers just didn’t seem to be able to get any momentum. “There are great games and not so great games and there are memorable games — Brandy (Alexander) we’re not going to forget this game in a hurry,” Ginnane said after yet another mistake. “I think that was a Titans hand that got a touch to that ball,” Alexander finished. He said it hit a Tigers hand in flight and went forward, despite the ability to send it up to the bunker and check his hypothesis. But Atkins ruled it was a “double knock on, touched in flight”. And gave the ball back to the Tigers.

Can Wests Tigers break through for their first win of the season? Or will the Gold Coast Titans inflict more pain on Michael Maguire's men.

The Titans are running out of ideas. The Titans are now 2-2 for the year. It’s all over and somehow the Titans have won. They’ve fought, and scrapped, a little harder than the Titans so far. The hard work needs to remain in place and everyone needs to find that little bit extra. The Gold Coast players are celebrating in the sheds.

The Titans have scored the only try of the match in the final minute to steal a penalty-laden 8-6 heartbreaker from the Wests Tigers at Cbus Super Stadium.

There's a lot of hurt in the change room at the moment. To find a way to win at the end, I couldn't be happier or prouder of the boys tonight. First points finally came two minutes from half time when the Titans took two points for a crusher tackle penalty. To see my change room like that, I'm actually really proud of the player son how they continually stay at it and work and I'm finding out a lot about my coaching and dealing with players through these periods and I couldn't be prouder, they're rock solid. "We expected a really tough game and obviously got that. It could only be the late try.

"It was a pretty sloppy game, a lot of dropped ball," Brimson told Nine. The man of the moment, Brimson, admitted the Titans probably didn't deserve to win the game. The Tigers looked certain to score their first win of the season when they led 6-2 in the final minute of the game at Cbus Super Stadium.

A chaotic try to Gold Coast's AJ Brimson has got the Titans out of jail with an 8-6 NRL win over the hapless Wests Tigers at CBUS Super Stadium.

The Titans host Parramatta next weekend while the Tigers travel to PointsBet Stadium to play Cronulla in their next fixture. The winning play was fitting for a largely forgettable match that was low on quality and high on errors. A chip kick by Titans halfback Toby Sexton hit the upright and bounced inside the penalty area where it was fielded by Jock Madden.

'Cannot write a more devastating script!' Tigers blow it, 29-year first avoided: Big Hits.

“Early on both teams had plenty of opportunities on the goal line, but five opportunities blown. Tyrone Peachey spent 10 in the bin, but no damage done. Three for the Tigers and two for the Titans. “Can you believe that the Titans went through a set inside the 20 and they didn’t give it to David Fifita?” Alexander said. Greg Alexander blasted the Titans for their inability to find their most damaging ball-runner for a full set in the red zone. “That is the first tryless first half of the year.” At one stage during the game the Titans had a full set inside the Tigers 20 metre line and didn’t get the ball to Fifita once. The Titans and the Tigers nearly became the first teams to play out a tryless game in 29 years in a dour affair on the Glitter Strip. “The Titans have stuck a shiv in the Wests Tigers,” Ginnane added. A crusher tackle allowed the Titans to sneak in a penalty goal for a 2-0 lead. The Tigers spilt a Toby Sexton kick that bounced off the goal post with a minute to go in the in-goal and AJ Brimson pounced to steal a crazy win. The Titans have come-from-behind to score a match winner in the final minute as the Tigers let their first win slip through their fingers in a devastating 8-6 loss.

Wests Tigers have suffered a heart-breaking 8-6 loss to the Gold Coast Titans, despite leading with less than a minute to play.

That performance there is how we want to go about things.” However there were also two errors and some suspect end-of-set grubber kicks. Kelma Tuilagi was arguably his team's best in the first half in his return from a HIA, but was taken off at half time due to a separate knock. We’ve shown what we’re capable of doing. The first half was a real struggle for points for both sides, with each clunky in attack and prone to errors. The match appeared destined to become the first in the NRL without a try scored, before the match-winning moment at the death.
