Game back on. Titans first use after the break.

40min

That's halftime. A controversial finish for the Titans there with Fifita denied what many thought was a fair try.

40min

David Fifita scores - so he thinks - just short of halftime. The Bunker reviews it and rules that Jamal Fogarty was obstructed by Fifita on the way through. Canberra penalty in the dying seconds of the half.

38min

Raiders error, Titans surge up and similarly get a penalty to offer a big shot at another try...

35min

No luck for Gold Coast. Raiders work it out of their own end. Boyd with a dangerous tackle and thats a penalty and a piggy back up field.

33min

Titans get into the Raiders half and then inexplicably Horsburgh concedes a penalty for a lazy high shot on Foran. Big chance for the Gold Coast here.

32min

Canberra go big that set, lots of forwards running hard at the middle but no dice, the last tackle grubber through trickles dead from the boot of Woolford.

31min

Canberra with a repeat set near the Titans line after an alleged knock on. The Titans challenge it, claiming Aaron Schoupp didn't get a hand to the ball - but he's not correct and the decision is supported by the Bunker. Canberra scrum 20m out!

30min

Gold Coast's foray last not much time at all and the Raiders capitalise on a Liu error this time and then a penalty is conceded by the visitors too.

29min

29min
