80min

FULL TIME - In their first game since sacking Justin Holbrook, it is an upset in the Queensland derby as the Titans take a thrilling win!

79min

ALMOST! Adam Reynolds puts Brendan Piakura through a hole and he links with Corey Oates who kicks inside and Reece Walsh is chasing in support but Jayden Campbell saves the day and should win the game for the Titans!

77min

Right... so usually that's a penalty but Patrick Carrigan faces nothing for what looked to be a potential hip-drop tackle on David Fifita who thankfully looks to be OK.

77min

Brisbane don't go anywhere in that set. A great clearing kick from Adam Reynolds but an even better kick return from Phillip Sami and the Titans have momentum.

75min

Phillip Sami has it off the short restart.

75min

Penalty Goal: Titans
Kicked by Tanah Boyd.

Tanah Boyd slots it!

Titans lead Broncos 12 - 18 Titans
74min

Tanah Boyd to the air but Selwyn Cobbo who takes it... and then goes behind Reece Walsh who is penalised for an obstruction... and then Reece Walsh is penalised for backchat. Titans will kick for two.

73min

The Broncos have been ruled to have stripped the ball out, penalty Titans. Brisbane challenge it but it's unsuccessful. Tyson Smoothy raked it out. Titans start the set on their 40.

71min

Reece Walsh to Corey Oates off the scrum and that is a TOUCHDOWN... I mean a forward pass. Called as much by the refs. No try.

71min

Ezra Mam has his pass intercepted by Alofiana Khan-Pereira who races away and this could be game over... but Brian Kelly got a hand to it so the play is called back. Broncos again with a full set 10 out.

69min

A huge set in defence coming here as the Broncos get a six-again call in their favour and spread it immediately, with Patrick Carrigan firing the ball out left but Tanah Boyd has it. He is taken straight into touch though. Brisbane ball again, 10 out.

63min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Ezra Mam. Kick to come.

They CAN'T take this one off them. Herbie Farnworth almost got there with a charging run but Ezra Mam does it himself with some brilliant footwork close to the line.

Titans lead Broncos 12 - 16 Titans
63min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds then kicks the conversion.

Titans lead Broncos 8 - 16 Titans
60min

And we have another close call! Tanah Boyd with the kick and Corey Oates drops it, with Aaron Schoupp on the spot to score... but the Bunker rules Phillip Sami touched the ball.

59min

That was far too easy as Reece Walsh puts Kotoni Staggs through a gaping hole and the Broncos fullback is in support to score! But it is going to come back, the Bunker interferes and rules David Fifita was obstructed in the lead-up, penalty Titans.

58min

The Bunker confirms a touch from Corey Oates, no try.

57min

Adam Reynolds goes to the air on the last and it looks like Phillip Sami couldn't bring it down, with Brendan Piakura pouncing to score! We may have to check this though!

55min

Conversion: Titans
Kicked by Tanah Boyd.

The halfback guides it through from the sideline!

Titans lead Broncos 6 - 16 Titans
54min

Try: Titans
Scored by Alofiana Khan-Pereira. Kick to come.

Quick hands as Alofiana Khan-Pereira burns Selwyn Cobbo to score!

Titans lead Broncos 6 - 14 Titans
52min

Another moment of impatience from the Broncos as Adam Reynolds kicks it dead. Brisbane just failing to build pressure right now.

48min

An odd rush of blood there. The Broncos get a penalty near halfway, tap and run and Reece Walsh kicks ahead but the Titans get back there to field the ball.

46min

The Titans are looking really confident now as Iszac Fa'asumaleaui offloads for AJ Brimson who could be away but he drops the ball. Broncos with it back on their 20.

45min

Conversion: Titans
Attempted by Tanah Boyd.

Boyd can't get it from the sideline.

Titans lead Broncos 6 - 10 Titans
43min

Try: Titans
Scored by Brian Kelly. Kick to come.

David Fifita at it again as he gets on the outside of Adam Reynolds on a Kieran Foran pass and quickly shifts it to Brian Kelly who scores!

Titans lead Broncos 6 - 10 Titans
42min

Alofiana Khan-Pereira is flipped in a tackle by Kobe Hetherington and a penalty sees the Titans start a new set beyond halfway.

40min

Conversion: Titans
Kicked by Tanah Boyd.

Boyd levels it up at halftime.

Tied up at Broncos 6 - 6 Titans
39min

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

Kieran Foran short to David Fifita who steams through a big hole and crashes over!

Broncos lead Broncos 6 - 4 Titans
39min

Tanah Boyd does brilliantly to fall on an Adam Reynolds kick and hold onto the ball with Broncos attackers streaming through. Titans ball and they're working it out from inside their own half. Early ball to Alofiana Khan-Pereira who kicks it late - perhaps too late as he could've had a try if he chipped it over Reece Walsh earlier. Walsh ruled to have played at the kick though, Titans ball 10 out.

36min

A huge set coming up as the Broncos force a dropout with just over three minutes on the clock.

35min

A strong set from the Broncos, even with Patrick Carrigan and Payne Haas off, as the finish 10 out on the last. Adam Reynolds runs it and finds Reece Walsh who desperately tries to put the boot to ball as he is tackled but he drops it.

33min

The kick on the last from Tanah Boyd is heavy. Seven-tackle set for the Broncos.

32min

A chance now for the Titans to hit right back as Jordan Riki is ruled to have lost it in the play-the-ball. Gold Coast with a full set 10 out.

30min

Conversion: Broncos
Kicked by Adam Reynolds.

Reynolds slots it.

Broncos lead Broncos 6 - 0 Titans
29min

Try: Broncos
Scored by Thomas Flegler. Kick to come.

Thomas Flegler charges towards the line but is just pulled up. The Titans then concede a six-again on the next play but Fleger eventually gets his try, this time on the edge, as Brisbane go left with Patrick Carrigan setting it up.

Broncos lead Broncos 4 - 0 Titans
26min

The Broncos go left and Reece Walsh tries to link with Corey Oates but the ball is knocked down, another full set coming.

25min

Now a penalty for the Broncos, who are 10 out. They will tap and go.

25min

Huge chance here as the tackle count restarts on the last. Broncos 20 out... surely!

24min

Reece Walsh with a long clearing kick for 40/20 but AJ Brimson does well to get back there and save the day for the Titans. Isaac Liu then drops it on the last tackle. Brisbane start a fresh set inside the Gold Coast half. Will we finally get points here?

22min

Quick hands from Reece Walsh to Selwyn Cobbo threatens to spark something on the right edge but a brilliant one-on-one effort from Kieran Foran shuts it down. The Titans then get the ball back off a shallow kick from Adam Reynolds.

21min

The Bunker confirms that, Broncos survive.

20min

The penalty and now a six-again has the Titans 10 out with another chance to score the first points of the game. Sam Verrills darts out of dummy-half but looks to have dropped it trying to score.

19min

Adam Reynolds with the early kick on the 3rd tackle... it looks too heavy but Reece Walsh bats it back into the field of play and Ezra Mam grounds it. But it's sent up no try - the Broncos fullback is offside!

19min

Ezra Mam tries to thread the needle on the last and it comes off Titans' legs... six again! 20 out!

17min

Again nothing really comes of that set as Selwyn Cobbo fields the last-tackle kick with ease. Look for the Broncos to score off this seven-tackle set... just have a feeling.

16min

Thomas Flegler now placed on report for a high shot on Jaimin Jolliffe. Titans penalty and they will get a chance to score the first points of the game. Gold Coast 40 out.

16min

More errors as Thomas Flegler drops it.

15min

Tough one there for the Titans. A six-again is called and Isaac Liu drops the ball the next play. Broncos ball just near halfway.

13min

A long looping ball and Alofiana Khan-Pereira races away and the Titans are 20 out. Nothing comes of it though as Kieran Foran is caught on the last.

12min

Brendan Piakura with a cheap error. Titans survive and start this new set on their own 20.

11min

Isaac Liu on report for pressure on the neck on Herbie Farnworth and a penalty is awarded. Broncos 40 out.

9min

ANOTHER CHANCE! Titans fill-in skipper AJ Brimson uses his speed to get on the outside but heavy contact from Herbie Farnworth forces the error.

6min

CHANCE! Kieran Foran looks to spread it to Brian Kelly inside the Titans' own half and Selwyn Cobbo reads it perfectly, with an intercept and try there for the taking but he puts it down.

5min

A nice shift right ends with Aaron Schoupp near halfway before Tanah Boyd sends it high to Selwyn Cobbo who fields the ball on his own 20.

5min

A great kick from Adam Reynolds into the sun and Phillip Sami does well to take it cleanly but the Gold Coast are trapped inside their own 20 early in this set.

3min

Tanah Boyd to Joe Stimson and the Broncos defence rushes up to force an error.

2min

The Titans, on the other hand, go nowhere in this set and Tanah Boyd is forced to clear it from inside the 30 but Payne Haas is penalised for a late shot on the kicker. Ill-discipline gifts the Titans a full set 20 out.

1min

A really positive start from Brisbane who shift it early, find some space and then Billy Walters takes them on on the last tackle and is JUST pulled up short of the try line. What a start! Danger signs for the Titans.

1min

Underway here at Suncorp and the Broncos have first use of it!

For what it's worth, I've got the Broncos having far too much firepower in this one and taking a high-scoring game 42-22.

No Tino Fa'asuamaleaui for the Titans as Jaimin Jolliffe starts in his place AJ Brimson is the new skipper. The Broncos are 1-17 with all their Origin stars backing up.

Good afternoon and welcome to the live update of tonight's Queensland derby between the Broncos and Titans.
