Already? Cows with 34 tackles in the GLD 20!

Great cover by Don and he takes the Coote grubber on the last... now the Titans MUST complete their set.

0 all

Hurrell with the error again! Cows 20 out.

0 all

Winterstein kicks off the Cows set before Bowen takes a hit-up. A big run by Asiata follows and Winterstein takes advantage and streaks down the side line and Morgan takes it on the last, kicks for Feldt - he's... NO! Amazing defence Titans but the Cows really bombed that, if Feldt passes to Linnett they score!

0 all

Almost called it! Asiata with a wonderful short ball for Taumalolo who is just denied! The pass on the last is a poor one and Lowe has to kick and it's an easy take for Hayne. Titans survive!

0 all

Again a very nice kick by Granville. Roberts is forced to take it dead. Feeling Taumalolo or Asiata may run over the top of someone soon to kick the scoring off.

0 all

Asiata is looking very dangerous to kick this one off. He spots the space and runs through and is just tackled. Granville grabs it on the last, pops in a grubber and Elgey can't escape. Another set for the Cowboys.

0 all

Now Hurrell messes up the play the ball on halfway. Cows go back on the attack.

0 all

It was building very nicely... but Hurrell rushes up and Coote drops a pass by Morgan, their shape was looking a bit flat on that one. A big wrap to the GLD defence.

0 all

Looking good... Taumalolo making good metres and the Cowboys spread it off the back of his break... Thompson throws the cut out ball but the Titans knock it down, looks like Don.

0 all

Now Ryan James concedes the penalty for holding on too long. Cowboys begin their set 35 out from the GLD line.

0 all

Linnett with a sloppy high shot on Roberts and the Titans get the opening penalty and kick off their 2nd set on their own 30 metre line.

0 all

A strong start from the Titans with Greenwood trapping Coote 10 out from his own line off the Taylor bomb.

KICK OFF!

Very tough call. I had actually tipped the Cowboys in my pre-match preview but I'm going to go out on a limb and make a sudden switch and take the Titans 30-22.
