Last tackle, 45 seconds to go... Norman stabs it through the line and they force a drop-out but there won't be time enough.

SHORT KICKOFF WORKS. Dragons have it inside Titans' territory. 90 seconds left.

WOW! Bunker again, the Titans have burst up the middle and Fogarty appears to have scored...

Bunker. Titans claiming a try through Peachey. Checking onside, grounding.

Time off inside the final ten minutes - the Dragons have earned a penalty and the Titans are challenging it - it's for obstruction. And it's unsuccessful. Saints have it 15m out and will shoot for two, to give themselves a converted-try buffer.

War of attrition unfolding as the scoring stalemate seems to be back. Both sides getting close but not quite getting across the line.

The Titans with an exciting play up the park after Jarrod Wallace found Tyrone Peachey on the inside, an outside kick nearly getting there but it's batted dead by Dufty.

Tyson Frizell crashes over the line on the last - but he's held up. Handover Titans.

A solid rolling set from the Gold Coast post-points, but the last tackle option sees them hand it over on the Dragons' 30m.

Commentator's curse. Jackson Ford loses it in a tackle on his own 40m and the visitors finally have the ball - in Dragons' territory no less.

Trying to recall when the Titans last had the ball, such has been the Dragons' dominance in possession so far this half...

Another drop-out forced after Brian Kelly is dragged back into the in-goal. Plenty of pressure from the Red V but no try yet...

Dragons with the first attacking opportunity of the half, but they don't make a lot of it and the final play - a Clune cut-out pass is defused somewhat by the Titans by way of a failed intercept. The home side gets another chance via a scrum.

Perenara gets us underway for the second forty. Titans first possession running left to right.

A bit of enterprising footy from both sides to finish the half but neither manage to do anything meaningful. 2-0 at halftime to the home side.

Ascendency in terms of field position and threat value is definitely with the Titans at the moment but so far no points to show for it.

NO TRY. Tackle completed on Ravalawa and they've gone on with it. Penalty Dragons.

Bunker for a possible Titans try. Ravalawa has lost a grubber facing toward his goalline, then it looks like a Gold Coast player might have grounded it.

Tyrone Peachey is hit late on the 30, and despite play continuing to the next tackle some 50m down field, the entire 26 player cohort has to go back to where it happened.

Dragons force a drop-out after Jolliffe has to tap a grubber dead.

High tackle by Jaimin Jolliffe and the Dragons will have a full set inside the Titans half. Meanwhile Titans back rower Beau Fermor is off for a HIA.

Handy penalty for the Red V, a chip through and Dufty is collected after the fact - Perenara has no hesitation in marching the Titans downfield. They'll shoot for two.

Dragons go high on the last in their latest set but the chase through from Kerr is deemed a knock on. Handover Titans

Oh no... the drop-out bounces low toward the sideline and Fogarty can't stop it hurtling toward the sideline in time. Dragons scrum 10 short of halfway.

A break from Kelly finds Brimson on the inside who then kicks in field and Fogarty is just beaten to the ball by Clune and the Dragons are forced into a drop out.

The Saints make their way up to the Titans' goalline and almost get across the line on the last, but Ben Hunt is tackled short. Handover.

Gold Coast with the first foray into attacking territory. The last tackle option is easily taken by the Dragons at the back though.

Pretty stock-standard start to this one, full sets and teams kicking long on the last.

We're underway. Dragons first possession, running left to right.

Friday night footy starts at Kogarah - a must win for the Dragons who can rise to 9th with a win over the Titans tonight. Gold Coast's season is done and despite a poor run of form, their new coach Justin Holbrook has been rewarded with an extension to keep him at the club for several more years. Both sides are 1-17.
