FULL TIME - A very scrappy performance from the Rabbitohs was enough tonight as Souths overcame a brave Titans team 18-16. Full wrap to come. Thanks for joining us!

Alex Johnston bursts through the line and looks to link with his outside men but it trickles out and it is ruled to come off a Gold Coast player. Another tough call there with 38 seconds left and that should be the game.

Adam Reynolds can't find touch on the last and instead Michael Gordon takes the kick and the Titans begin their set on their own 30. A great run by Brenko Lee sees the Titans surge into the Rabbitohs' half. Ashley Taylor bursts through and links with Jarrod Wallace who passes to Aj Brimson but it is called forward! Rabbitohs pack a scrum on their own 30. Tough call and that may be the game with 2:17 remaining.

They get through the set with Adam Reynolds picking out Phillip Sami off the last-tackle kick and the Titans begin their set on their own 25. The home side are just 20 out on the last and Ashley Taylor goes wide to Keegan Hipgrave who can't handle it. Just over four minutes remaining. 18-16 Souths.

Ashley Taylor grubbers on the fourth and it ricochets off South Sydney legs. They still have another tackle up their sleeve but Taylor kicks again and this time it finds touch two short of the line. Can the Rabbitohs complete a set?

That is Sam's fourth error of the night as the Titans surge into the Rabbitohs' 10 metre zone.

It is almost yet another nightmare coming out of their own end for Souths with Tevita Tatola dropping the ball but Keegan Hipgrave is ruled to have stripped it out one-on-one and knocked it out towards the Rabbitohs' line. Therefore, South Sydney get the ball back and begin their set on their own 30. Sam Burgess now drops the ball... Sammy has had a shocking game.

Jarrod Wallace takes it up to the 30 off the restart before Jai Arrow surges past the 20 on the second. A spread left sees Aj Brimson go short to Keegan Hipgrave. It was a very tough ball to take in the face of several South Sydney defenders and Hipgrave's night gets worse with the back rower ruled to have dropped the ball.

A very relieving penalty for the Titans with Robbie Farah pinned for slowing the play-the-ball down and the Titans begin their set 40 out after a big kick for touch from Ashley Taylor. Nothing much happening for the Gold Coast off the opening four plays. Ashley Taylor bombs high for his outside men. Campbell Graham flies above to take it and grounds it in-goal. Repeat set.

Adam Reynolds goes short to Jason Clark but he can't take it and the Titan survive!

Ashley Taylor puts in a SPIRALLING bomb on the last but Alex Johnston does very well to take it. A nice controlled set from Souths with Robbie Farah trapping the Titans within their own corner off a well placed kick. Taylor puts in another towering kick but it is fumbled by a Gold Coast player and lands in South Sydney hands. Now Mitch Rein is penalised and the Rabbitohs are just 20 out on the first play as George Burgess barges towards the line.

Nothing comes from the set though with Aj Brimson's deft grubber being cleaned up but now South Sydney come up with ANOTHER error - Adam Reynolds the one pinned now. A completion rate of just 60% so far from the away team.

Both sides trading sets at the moment with the Rabbitohs still unable to strike the final blow against a Titans side who just won't go away. The home side are just 40 out on the last and Ashley Taylor bombs but Alex Johnston flies above and takes it. Campbell Graham and Robert Jennings help their team out with solid runs before the latter drops the ball in the tackle. South Sydney coming up with poor errors tonight - a massive drop in quality from last week's win over Cronulla.

Jai Arrow takes Mark Nicholls out without the ball and the Rabbitohs have a full set 20 out but Cody Walker immediately comes up with a mistake off a left side spread.

Fotuaika is assisted off for a HIA test but is extremely unlikely to return and will join Max King on the injured list for the home side.

Moeaki Fotuaika down receiving treatment - looks like a serious concussion.

NO TRY! Sami's hand was out! Seven-tackle set!

The restart goes 40 metres before Jack Stockwell takes it up past the 30 on the first play. Jai Arrow then takes it up and offloads for Nathan Peats who finds Aj Brimson who is taken 10 out. Stockwell straightens things up before Ashley Taylor kicks early for a flying Phillip Sami who may have a double! Spectacular stuff!

Nice grubber from Ashley Taylor with Campbell Graham forced to take it dead. Repeat set to come.

Now George Burgess ruled to have dropped the ball - looks a tough call given it was kicked away by a Gold Coast player. Nevertheless, the Titans pack the scrum and are 10 out.

Kevin Proctor now penalised for holding down the South Sydney player in the ruck and Reynolds will shoot for two.

SECOND HALF UNDERWAY! George Burgess with a determined run to begin this one before brother Sam surges past the 20. Robbie Farah does his best Damien Cook impersonation as he bursts through the middle before being tackled just over halfway. Penalty Rabbitohs now and they begin their set 40 out from the Titans line.

Ashley Taylor's shot for a field goal from 30 out goes wide.

Another error by Sam Burgess! Titans will a full set 40 out with 30 seconds left. Scrum will pack. Perhaps a late field goal?

Now Kevin Proctor drops the ball 30 out from the Souths' line. An underwhelming ending to an otherwise enthralling first forty.

The kick on the last by Ashley Taylor is far too big and Alex Johnston catches it with ease inside his own in-goal area. 7-tackle set Rabbitohs who are already on halfway on the second but Sam Burgess comes up with an error.

Titans showing much more energy here but they undo all their hard work by conceding a penalty and inviting the Rabbitohs back into their own half. Souths spread it right from Adam Reynolds to Alex Johnston who gives it to Campbell Graham who is taken 10 short of the line before George Burgess drops it off the next play.

The spiralling kick on the last is taken by Campbell Graham as Souths work it out from their own end. Adam Reynolds bomb is a very awkward one but Phillip Sami does very well to take it in a diving attempt.

PENALTY TITANS on the last tackle after Michael Gordon was ruled to have been taken out in the kick chase. They tap and run 10 out.

A very odd last tackle from the Titans with Ashley Taylor taking the line on within his own 30 and dropping it, backwards according to the officials. Kevin Proctor spreads it to Anthony Don who sprints down the touchline and kicks inside for Campbell Graham who brings it up to the 40. Souths spread it left in the middle of the set but the tap on by Hymel Hunt trickles dead. Titans pack a scrum on their own 40.

Adam Reynolds goes for an early 40/20 and the angle is spot on but it pulls up short. Unlucky bounce. Meanwhile, Max King comes off with a possible shoulder injury by the looks of things.

Keegan Hipgrave back on from the sin bin.

Aj Brimson spreads it to Michael Gordon who is taken 35 out on the first before Ryan James surges towards the 30. Brimson now puts Max King through a hole and he is tackled 15 short of the line. Jarrod Wallace straightens things up and the Titans are just five out but Brimson is tackled on the last.

Robbie Farah gets away with a possible forward pass as he puts Mark Nicholls through over the halfway mark and into Titans territory. Sam Burgess now offloads for Cody Walker who sprints through the middle and chips over the top, but it collects a Titans player and Aj Brimson does very well to dive on it. Ashley Taylor kicks from short of halfway on the last for Campbell Graham who takes it up to the 30. Robert Jennings races up towards the 40 but drops the ball in the tackle and the Gold Coast pack the scrum.

A much more settled set from the Titans with Ashley Taylor finding touch 10 shy of the line. Keegan Hipgrave to return from the bin in four minutes.

But the Titans will survive with Sam Burgess ruled to have dropped the ball attempting to offload it.

Phillip Sami drops the Adam Reynolds bomb off the ensuing set and the Bunnies have a full set 10 out... this could get ugly quickly given the home side only has 12 men on the field.

Another penalty with Ryan James ruled to have held the player down too long and the warning is given. Robbie Farah goes out of dummy-half and crashes over, checking obstruction.

Back-to-back penalties for the Rabbitohs now who surge into the Gold Coast 20. They spread it left and Anthony Don almost intercepts the final tip on but can't handle it. Full set for South Sydney 10 out.

Titans begin their set on their own 30 with Jarrod Wallace and Keegan Hipgrave both starting off with solid runs before Ryan James evades tackles on his way past the halfway mark.

George Burgess ruled to have taken out Jarrod Wallace. No try! Penalty Titans.
