Meanwhile Souths cough up the ball and furthermore George Burgess is in a bad bad way

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-16

Titans get the ball back via the short kickoff, did I speak too soon??

South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-10

Flash Gordon what are you doing!? Runs the ball back after marking it on the 20, and drops it cold! Souths have the ball on the 30 metre line and this could be the knockout blow in this set

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-10

Penalty count 10-5 to Souths...

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-10

Titans just cant stop giving away penalties! Its getting ridiculous! Roberts pushes in the back after Sezer breaks down the right and finds Don who kicks back inside. It is null and void though, Souths penalty gets them to 30 metres out.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-10

Shepherd penalty against the Titans, Roberts run behind Ryan James, Souths with yet another great position to start the set.

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-10

South Sydney Rabbitohs 16-10

Penalty to Souths after a strip by Ridge, stupid stupid stuff!

10 all

A huge bomb by Sezer is batted dead by Goodwin, more pressure for Souths. Titans want that try badly.

Titans on the attack due to that Inglis error.

10 all

Inglis has been taken from the field, will keep you updated on the progress...

10 all

Greg Inglis is down and it looks bad for the Souths fullback, Ryan James has hit him with a stray forearm and knee, Ouch!

10 all

Magical defence from Hoffman and co! Gray can almost fall over the line after some smart passing from Souths, he comes across and they slam him to the turf half a metre out! On the other side Walker drops the ball when if he passed to an unmarked Johnston they would have scored for all money!

10 all

Anthony Don makes a vital stop by knocking down Inglis pass, we'll have another set for Souths, 10m out from the Titans line

Titans fans must be pulling their hair out!

For Souths: McQueen with 14, Clark and Brown both with 11.

Gold Coast Titans 10-6

We are back for the second half here folks. I wonder who will grab the two points?

Gold Coast Titans 10-6

Souths have had all the territory and possession but find themselves behind thanks to a wonderful defensive performance by the Gold Coast. The Titans have been forced to make a whopping 69 more tackles and have had 7 less sets. If the Gold Coast can hold onto the ball then they could run away with this, particularly as James Roberts is giving Bryson Goodwin a torrid afternoon out wide.
Souths will need to be a tad more expansive and try and get Greg Inglis more involved, when given some space he scored a brilliant individual try

Gold Coast Titans 10-6

Sutton's kick is fielded by Kev Gordon and that's half time! 10-6 to the home side and they will be chuffed with the 4 points lead in a half where they only had 40% possession!

What can Souths come up with? Can they get a try before half time?

They only have themselves to blame here Gold Coast, lots of errors, can't give that to Souths

South Sydney Rabbitohs 6-4

Gold Coast Titans 4-0

Souths really pressuring the line,

Here come both the clubs, Souths get a fierce welcome from the Gold Coast faithful!

0 all

It's not going to be an easy assignment for the Titans who have lost 5 of their past 6 games against Souths. 3 of those 5 losses have been at CBUS Stadium.
Who's ya pick folks? Kick off is only 10 minutes away!

0 all

Gold Coast will be very keen to put their Golden Point loss to the Sharks a fortnight ago behind them with a win here. Only two points separating these two clubs, a loss for either side will be a disappointing result. Souths want to stay in touch with the top 8, their form has been down recently, however have won 2 of the past 3, they will want to continue that this afternoon.
