80min

FULLTIME :; Roosters take the chocolates.

80min

Inside ball went forward. Game is petering out now.

79min

PENALTY ROOSTERS! Hipgrave gets some of his own back on Ferguson, but drew the whistle.

78min

We've entered a strange passage of play! Taukeiaho with a final tackle kick, as the Titans recover it.

77min

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Blake Ferguson.

Now that Mitchell is in the bin, Ferguson takes kicking duties. The centre steps in, nails it.

Roosters lead Roosters 34 - 14 Titans
75min

Try: Roosters
Scored by Mitchell Aubusson. Kick to come.

That is the icing on the victory cake for the Roosters! Tedesco, like he has several times through the contest, takes an inside ball, swerving past defenders, probably could've gone himself but gifts it to Aubusson for the four-pointer.

Roosters lead Roosters 32 - 14 Titans
73min

That was in the final stages of wonkiest passes. Titans try to keep the ball alive, and it came back to the middle through a pass, as the Roosters now get the ball back.

72min

Now the Roosters have a man binned! Mitchell trots off slowly.

72min

Quickly followed by a second penalty... and further.

71min

PENALTY TITANS! They broke down the right, Don swerves left, right, inside and finds Brimson who is tackled. Set restart for the Titans now.

68min

Brimson throws a very flat ball as Brenko Lee burst through the hole and scores. On replay, it is probably forward.. just.

67min

PENALTY TITANS! Offside, but they are starting to put some passes together again.

66min

Something good happening for the Titans now. Brimson stabs one through and Tedesco forced to drop it out.

65min

No one wants the ball! Both teams drop it within thirty seconds, now Dale Copley counter-attacks!

62min

It hasn't been a banner day for Cartwright. He hands the ball right back to the Roosters on second tackle.

60min

Maybe something for the Titans. Taukeiaho makes a meal of the play the ball, as Ash Taylor rejoins the fray.

59min

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Latrell Mitchell.

Mitchell furthers the lead.

Roosters lead Roosters 28 - 14 Titans
59min

Try: Roosters

GREEN LIGHTS.. TRY! Decision overturned. Bryce Cartwright made a meal of getting the ball, which allowed Cronk to trap it first then fall on the ball.

Roosters lead Roosters 26 - 14 Titans
58min

BUNKER TIME! Never let the ball bounce, it might have led to another Roosters score, referee has NO TRY though.

56min

Doing it all is Mitchell now. He scored a lovely try, now the youngster takes a slips catch to defuse the Titans attack. Angry at their own errors, some push and shove follows, as the Roosters get the whistle.

55min

Roosters definitely have the bit between the teeth now. An inside ball to Tedesco goes to ground though. Some reprieve for the Titans.

53min

Conversion: Roosters
Kicked by Latrell Mitchell.

Now, Mitchell has a chance to convert his own try. He duly obliges.

Penalty. Goal. Rinse, repeat. Roosters have hit the lead.

Roosters lead Roosters 16 - 14 Titans
50min

Further to this, their man attacking architect - Ash Taylor is sin-binned!

49min

PENALTY ROOSTERS! It has all gone to pot for the Titans. Don spills a regulation bomb then they concede a silly penalty.

47min

Penalty Goal: Roosters
Kicked by Latrell Mitchell.

He evens up the game.

Tied up at Roosters 14 - 14 Titans
46min

Back to back penalties for the home side. Referee asks the Titans to "clean up" the ruck, as Mitchell again with shoot for two.

46min

Manic football on last. It started on the right, as Hurrell just took out the attacker, referee allowed play to continue as Mitchell kicked dead. We come back to the right wing, for the penalty.

45min

Kicked by Latrell Mitchell.

Mitchell from besides the posts, reduces the deficit to two.

Some quick hands from the Roosters gets them across. Liu just barges over.

Titans lead Roosters 10 - 14 Titans
42min

Taylor tries to find a repeat set, kicks it too deep. Seven tackles coming for the Roosters. Time off currently though, as Hipgrave, who shrieked after he was tackled on fourth, is down, and now, being assisted from the field.

41min

Manu couldn't have made more a meal of that, if he went next door to the league's club and sat in the kitchen. Big chance to start the second half for Gold Coast.

40min

KICK-OFF! We're back, Titans with first use.

40min

Guess whose back? back again, football's back! Tell a friend! Titans buoyed by their first half, are out first ready to receive as the Roosters trot out, looking to avoid back to back defeats!

40min

Dear, oh dear. Now the Roosters fail to find touch, which allowed Hurrell to cheekily step on the line to end a weird half of football.

40min

Field Goal: Titans
Attempted by Ashley Taylor.

Taylor shanks a late field goal. Ferguson tries to return it, but has it stolen. Penalty.

Titans lead Roosters 6 - 14 Titans
38min

Seems the Titans have sensed some weakness on the Roosters left. From the kick-off they shifted it, and Mitchell needed to make a big tackle on Gordon, to prevent more space. The final tackle kick is claimed by Tedesco easily.

37min

Penalty Goal: Titans
Kicked by Michael Gordon.

Gordon takes his tally for the game to double figures with his second penalty goal.

Titans lead Roosters 6 - 14 Titans

31min

Try: Titans

Titans lead Roosters 6 - 10 Titans
31min

BUNKER TIME! Don is across again, touchline this time.

28min

RED LIGHTS.. NO TRY! Unlucky for the Titans. Taylor is judged to have caught it on the inside shoulder, causing an obstruction. So the lovely pass to Don, is chalked off.

28min

Guess who? BUNKER TIME! Anthony Don has stepped back inside and scored. Checking obstruction? I think.

27min

Magic from Taylor, he rocketed a kick, looking for the touchline into a Rooster and it came back to a Titan, as the referee waved six again.

26min

This is better from the Roosters! More second phase got Tedesco into space, shoveled it to Aubusson, the clearly underrated centre, kicks it dead.

24min

Latrell Mitchell has been a peripheral figure thus far, the ball finally got to the centre, who created space before flicking it outside to Keary, who spills it.

22min

The streak is over - Titans fail to complete their first set. Konrad Hurrell spills it coming out from his own end. Big chance for the Roosters again.

14min

Sydney buses and all that, Roosters get a second penalty in a row. Laying on the tackler. Tapped and go.

13min

PENALTY ROOSTERS! Now the Titans are mucking around in the ruck, 13 minutes in, first whistle for the Roosters.

13min

Time out here, as Joseph Manu is getting treatment after he fell wrongly in a tackle. The young back is up, and able to continue.

11min
