39min

Try: Titans
Scored by Jamal Fogarty. Kick to come.

Moeaki Fotuaika takes a huge risk by passing in goal to AJ Brimson in goal and my God has it paid off! On the next tackle, the Titans showed no fear and swung it all the way to the left, with Corey Thompson streaking away downfield and beating about 5 Souths defenders before getting an amazing flick pass away to Jamal Fogarty, who had nothing but daylight in front of him. The try of the season so far without a doubt.

Titans lead Titans 22 - 10 Rabbitohs

Try: Titans
Scored by David Fifita. Kick to come.

Fifita hadn't scored a hat-trick before joining the Titans. He's just scored his second for the year, however he didn't have to do a whole lot for the one.

Titans lead Titans 12 - 10 Rabbitohs
32min

Try: Titans
Scored by David Fifita. Kick to come.

David Fifita is an absolute machine. He was double teamed by the Souths defence off the tap and easily got away from Reynolds and Graham, before beating 3 or 4 more defenders to score his second try of the night. Titans level up

Tied up at Titans 10 - 10 Rabbitohs
31min

The attempted short dropout from Adam Reynolds goes negative 4 metres. Penalty to the Titans

30min

A great play from Ashley Taylor who beat a couple of Souths defenders to get the ball to Brimson, who kicked ahead for Jamal Fogarty but Benji Marshall was there to bat the ball dead

29min

Souths are dominating the Titans in contact

29min

Set restart for GLD... on the first tackle

26min

The Titans go wide on the first and Corey Thompson is forced to kick ahead, with Damien Cook there to clean up. Titans look promising in attack but are nowhere near mature enough to finish it off against a good Souths scramble defence

25min

Benji Marshall's pass to Alex Johnston is a poor one and goes over the sideline. Titans survive

25min

Conversion: Rabbitohs
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds kicks this one through the posts

Rabbitohs lead Titans 6 - 10 Rabbitohs
23min

Try: Rabbitohs
Scored by Cody Walker. Kick to come.

22min

Penalty to Souths after it's deemed Keaon Koloamatangi had the ball stripped from him

Titans lead Titans 6 - 4 Rabbitohs
20min

Try: Rabbitohs
Scored by Jaxson Paulo. Kick to come.

Brian Kelly rushes in in defence and Adam Reynolds takes full advantage, passing it out to Campbell Graham, who doesn't panic like the Titans have so far this game and puts a kick in for Jaxson Paulo, who makes no mistake with the finish. Souths are on the board

Titans lead Titans 6 - 4 Rabbitohs
19min

Corey Thompson is taken into touch

19min

Reynolds kick again from inside the 40 is charged down this time and Peachey gets the ball in open field

17min

A shift to the left works wonders for the Titans and Corey Thompson is brought down a couple of metres out from the line. All the Titans want to be heroes however and they will waste the next two trying to score from dummy half, topped off by Proctor running it on the last. Souths have the ball

16min

Souths defence is strong, the Titans are struggling to make many metres although a set restart just now will help

16min

Alex Johnston is taken out touch in goal and the Titans will have it at the 20 metre line

15min

Set restart for SOU

14min

No try confirmed, Murray will play the ball and Souths still have a great opportunity to hit back

14min

Going upstairs for a possible Souths try but the ref thinks Murray hasn't got the ball down

14min

Adam Reynolds kicks a 40/20 on the last. Some really poor play from Phil Sami who was badly caught out of position

12min

Penalty to the Titans. Phillip Sami has a brain explosion and didn't go to ground and in trying to stay in just threw the ball in hope. Patrick Herbert was there and he was 100/1 to get out of the field of play, but he did and Souths were deemed to have illegally pushed him back

11min

Brian Kelly knocks on on a rather ambitious sweeping play to the left

9min

Terrible play by Souths on the last, with Adam Reynolds opting at the last second on the 5th to pass to Marshall, who wasn't ready for it and I think the pass went forward as well. Titans on the attack

8min

Alex Johnston plays it just shy of the 20

7min

Benji Marshall's kick is allowed to bounce and is knocked back by Thomas Burgess to Jaydn Su'A, who lost the ball in the tackle. Titans have it

6min

Cody Walker is playing fullback for Souths

5min

Jarrod Wallace again takes the first hit up

5min

Conversion: Titans
Kicked by Jamal Fogarty.

Jamal Fogarty is successful from in front

Titans lead Titans 6 - 0 Rabbitohs
4min

Try: Titans
Scored by David Fifita. Kick to come.

The challenge has been successful! It was ruled Fifita's ball carrying arm hadn't touched the ground prior to promoting the ball to the line and it'll be first points for the Titans.

Titans lead Titans 4 - 0 Rabbitohs
3min

Penalty to Souths after David Fifita is ruled to have committed a double movement however the Titans are challenging

2min

Penalty to the Titans after AJ Brimson was tackled in the air

2min

Taylor's kick is fielded by Jaxson Paulo, who will play it roughly 30 metres out from his own line

1min

The last time Benji Marshall played in the centres was in 2013 at the SCG, the same game Luke Brooks impressed on debut

1min

Souths kick off and Jarrod Wallace will take the first hit up.
