Parramatta Eels 12-6

Eels with a poor last tackle option, Titans come away with it before a penalty gives them a further push upfield.

Parramatta look for an advantage down the right wing, eventually a pushed pass is squeezed out by the Titans and over the sideline so the Eels have a scrum 15m out from the Gold Coast line.

Metres down the left edge for the Titans! They get down inside the 20m on the last and probably could have had a repeat set after some deflections off the Eels, eventually Parra come up with it AND get a penalty for their troubles.

We're underway with both sides completing their opening sets.

We're not far from kickoff now - the visitors are as per program while the Titans have made a similar change to last week with Sarginson not fit to play. McQueen starts in the centres with Greenwood in the back row.

The #SeaAndSand take on the #BlueAndGold at @CbusStadium next.

Kickoff some time soon.

From Dunedin we shift focus to the glitter strip! Robina the venue for this one between the unbeaten Eels and winless Titans. The ledger is evened somewhat with the Eels missing Corey Norman, but the Titans' injury crisis means they'll likely struggle to contain the remaining attack threats the blue and gold men pose.
