No, they can't. Full time and it is a reosunding victory for the Manly boys. Next week, they are against the Wests Tigers at Bankwest Stadium on ANZAC day, while the Titans will host the Rabbitohs on Friday at 6pm.
30 seconds to go, can the Titans score a point?
Tyrone Peachey's kick is defused by Schuster
Try will be disallowed as it's ruled Parker's initial contact with the ball was forward. Keppie still yet to score in the NRL
Kieran Foran's kick is tapped back by Brad Parker and caught by Sean Keppie, who dives over for the first try of his NRL career however the bunker are having a look at it
Mitch Rein knocks the ball down, it'll be a fresh set from a scrum win for Manly
Another set restart for GLD but Jonus Pearson knocks on almost immediately. It would appear that the set restarts aren't the brilliant deterrent for committing ruck infringements that some higher ups at the NRL thought it'd be
Set restart for GLD
Cade Cust knocks on from dummy half
Penalty to Manly after Daly Cherry-Evans was taken out in the race to the ball
Mitch Rein finds some space immediately off the scrum win
Haumole Olakau'atu puts it down immediately
Set restart for MAN
This time it's Tino Fa'asuamaleaui knocking on for the Titans
Morgan Harper couldn't ground Cherry-Evans' kick and it ends up going dead
Titans turn it over
Foran's kick stays in the field of play and Brimson makes a strong kick return just shy of the 30 metre lone
Reuben Garrick kicks the goal after his regular 10 years of preparation
A great cutout ball from Kieran Foran finds Reuben Garrick in open space and he goes over for his second try of the day. I think we can officially call off any thought of a Titans comeback
Set restart for MAN
Brimson knocks on Daly Cherry-Evans' grubber, Manly will have another attacking set
Challenge unsuccessful, Manly will have the ball
Tyrone Peachey is ruled to have knocked on however they will challenge it
Foran's kick goes into touch
All Kevin Proctor had to do was catch it and put it down and the Titans would've been on the board but he dropped it
Set restart for GLD
Tom Trbojevic makes a rare error in trying to play the ball
Moeaki Fotuaika puts it down on play 1
Tyrone Peachey puts a grubber in and Saab is forced to take it over the dead ball line
Brimson did very well as the last line of defence to not only stop Garrick from scoring but also take him dead in goal. Titans will have a 20 metre tap coming up
Going upstairs and it looks like Alexander Brimson has made a great try saving tackle on Reuben Garrick
Another penalty to Manly after Kevin Proctor is deemed offside
Penalty to Manly after Patrick Herbert ran an escort
The Titans try something on play 1 off the scrum win but Jonus Pearson is tumbled right into touch. Absolutely nothing going right for the Titans who at the moment I don't think would hesitate to forfeit right now if it was an option
Set restart for MAN but they knock on immediately after
Titans are tackled on the last, it'll be a changeover
Challenge successful, Manly retain possession as it's ruled Saab didn't get a touch on it
Ruled Manly knocked on off the kickoff but they are challenging
Reuben Garrick sprays the conversion to the right
The Titans should honestly consider forfeiting. They didn't look like scoring that entire passage of about 14 or 15 tackles in the red zone and the grubber on the last was trapped by Morgan Harper, who took off into open space and linked up with Saab, who score against the run of play at the other end
Set restart for GLD
Fogarty's grubber is taken dead by DCE. Repeat set coming up for GLD
Titans eventually knock it on however we will come back to when the break was made and it's ruled Jake Trbojevic grabbed Brimson off the ball. Titans get a penalty
Titans make a break on the 3rd tackle and are immediately on the attack
Manly kick off and Jaimin Jolliffe will play it just short of the 20
Unfortunately for Titans fans, the players are back out on the field ahead of the 2nd half
Titans run it on the last and Corey Thompson will put in a makeshift kick that is gathered by Daly Cherry-Evans. That'll be half time
Jaimin Jolliffe knocks on in the tackle. Titans might as well take all their jerseys off and craft them into a big white flag to wave because they have been absolutely shocking and Manly have made them pay
Set restart for GLD
Reuben Garrick knocks on in the tackle and the Titans will get a chance to put some points on the board before the break
Foran kicks the ball into touch. Titans will play it just short of their own 30 metre line
Erin Clark's decision to run it on the last is a terrible one and Manly come up with the ball
Corey Thompson breaks 4 or 5 tackles to put the Titans on the attack
Brimson loses it backwards and Patrick Herbert is there to save the day for the Titans
Alexander Brimson made a trysaver on Reuben Garrick and a couple of plays later Daly Cherry-Evans' grubber is too big. Titans get a 7 tackle set
Penalty to Manly for a high shot on Marty Taupau
Alexander Brimson catches the cross field kick but is tackled short of the line and it'll be a change over
Titans kick from 25 metres out but the ref has bizarrely called time off. Josh Aloiai appears in some trouble, the ref will take it back to earlier in the set and give the Titans a penalty for a high shot
They are able to get the combo and have so far made a grand total of 6 metres off the first 3 tackles of this set
Titans kick off. Let's see if they can get the coveted combo of not kicking off out on the full and not conceding a try in the first set off the kickoff
Garrick converts from in front
My goodness, Manly are absolutely killing the Titans here in Mudgee. An early spread caught the Titans completely off-guard, with Tom Trbojevic going right through the line yet againand linking up with Jason Saab in support, who scores under the post.
Martin Taupau takes the first run off the kickoff
Reuben Garrick is once again successful from the sideline
Jeez, this isn't looking good at all for the Titans. Tom Trbojevic did well to dummy his way through the defensive line and he backed himself to beat Brimson, which he ended up doing easily. Trbojevic scores in his first game back
Challenge successful, ruled that Jason Saab stripped the ball. Penalty Manly
The Titans needed that. Jason Saab has knocked on however Manly are challenging
Garrick will play the ball just outside his own 30 metre line
Titans with a lot of work to do, again having to work it out of their own end
Patrick Herbert doesn't kick this one out on the full for a change
Reuben Garrick converts his own try from the sideline
Lachlan Croker went straight up the middle and created a broken field situation that the Titans ultimately couldn't handle. The ball was swung left on the next play and Reuben Garrick went over untouched.
Tom Trbojevic takes the catch and Manly will work it out from their own end
The worst possible result for the Titans, Jarrod Wallace lost the ball in the tackle
Going upstairs but it looks unlikely Jarrod Wallace has got to the line
A good set for the Titans ends with a cross field kick caught by Reuben Garrick, however the Titans will get a penalty due to an escort ran by Brad Parker. Another set for the Titans coming up
Kieran Foran's kick is caught in goal by Pearson and a 7 tackle set is coming up for the Titans
Patrick Herbert kicks off out on the full for what feels like the 10th time this year. Manly right back on the attack
Garrick extends the lead to 8
Brad Parker is on the end of a pass from Tom Trbojevic and goes through a big hole to score. Brimson couldn't make the try-saver
A dismal set ends terribly for the Titans, with Ash Taylor knocking on from dummy half on the 4th tackle just 10 metres out from his own line. Manly with a prime opportunity to extend their lead here
Jonus Pearson only just remains in the field of play
Paseka brings it back this time and continues running for quite a few metres after contact
First points put on the board by Reuben Garrick, not Cherry-Evans.
Penalty Manly in front of the posts and Daly Cherry-Evans will attempt to kick the penalty goal
