Match Centre

That's full time here folks. Brisbane have run out big winners by the tune of 34-0. They have dominated Gold Coast from start to finish here in every facet of the word. Not only were the Broncos superb defensively but they were very slick with their attack scoring some very flashy tries. They have now scored 76 points in their last two games. Trouble brewing for fellow NRL teams.
The Titans weren't terrible today but have just run into the Broncos at the worst possible time. They tried vety hard but struggled in the 2nd half when Kane Elgey was taken off. They'll learn from this and be better for it.
That's all from me ladies and gents! This is Jack Clifton signing off!
Make sure you head to leagueunlimited.com to read the full match report later tonight.

Brisbane Broncos 24-0

Again The Titans are on the attack and for the 3rd time this evening they are caught with it on the last tackle. They are really disorganized without Kane Elgey

Brisbane Broncos 24-0

Gold Coast making plenty of metres as the Broncos forwards start to tire a little bit in the middle of the field, however nothing seems to be going right for them inside the Broncos 20 metre area.

Brisbane Broncos 24-0

Desperate defence by Brisbane denies the Titans as Redman burrows low and attempts to go over from Dummy Half. Great tenacity there by the Broncs

Brisbane Broncos 24-0

Comical by the Titans here, Sezer's ball out the back nears the touchline, picked up by Flash Gordon who sends a pass back to McDonald who knocks the ball on and then Gillett is held back whilst trying to collect the ball. Penalty Brisbane!

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

Gold Coast on the attack as well now, just 5m out from the Broncos line.

Elgey is up and is taken off on the medi cab, however is talking with the trainer. Penalty to the Titans and Thaiday is on report.

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

The Hit was late and reckless by Thaiday, no doubt that this will be a penalty and will probably be on report as well...

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

Elgey has been hammered off the ball by Thaiday, Elgey is not in a good way and is still on the ground. We hope for his sake that he is ok.

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

Gold Coast get a repeat set after a smart kick is grounded by Corey Oates, nice start by the Titans

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

We're back for the 2nd Half ladies and Gents! Can The Gold Coast turn around the game and keep their season alive or will the Broncos continue their charge on their quest to the Minor Premiership?

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

Well the Broncos have flexed their muscles in this first half after a tense first 15 minutes. 18-0 is the score at the break and it could have been more if not for some mistakes from Brisbane. The Titans are out of sorts and need to complete their sets and get back to playing mistake free footy. If they can get James Roberts in space then he will cause Brisbane some real issues.

Brisbane Broncos 18-0

Bizarre scenes here. Broncs get a penalty, tap the ball but then decide they want to kick for Goal. The Titans defence rushes up and tackles Hodges but play is halted, after all of this the referee lets them take a kick for Goal, even though he tapped it!? Bizarre...

Brisbane Broncos 16-0

However the Titans kick it on the 3rd and blow the opportunity. Need to play some smarter football here the Titans, half time cant come quicker enough.

Brisbane Broncos 16-0

Knock on by Lachlan Maranta after a ripper hit by Redman! Titans get a chance withy 2 and a half mins till half time.

Brisbane Broncos 16-0

Roberts shows some spark and breaks two tackles but his flick pass is knocked on by Mead! Sums up the Titans half...

Brisbane Broncos 16-0

Can the Titans get back into this game? They get a repeat set. You'd think they need to score before half time just for their confidence.

Brisbane Broncos 16-0

Kick on the last by Sezer is a good one but McDonald can't hold on to it and it's a 20m restart

Brisbane Broncos 10-0

Brisbane lose the ball and give the Titans a chance!

Brisbane Broncos 10-0

Milford outs in a pin point grubber but McDonald comes to the rescue and slaps it dead. Line Drop out!

Brisbane Broncos 6-0

Penalty to Brisbane here, their 3rd of the match. Big Chance for the Broncs here. Titans need to be careful or this could be blowout city...

Brisbane Broncos 6-0

Brisbane nearly score again! Boyd goes straight through after nice work by Milford and is motoring away, he sends the ball back to Hunt who is grounded 5m out. On the next play Brisbane play hot potato and Hodges can't hold it. Lucky break there for the Titans.

Brisbane Broncos 6-0

Will that try break the backs of Gold Coast?

Brisbane Broncos 6-0

Fantastic play by the Titans! Falloon takes it to the line and sends Elgey through a hole, he finds Hoffmann who takes on Boyd but is dragged down only 1m out! Elgey is caught with the ball on the last and it all breaks down, disappointing end for the Titans.

Knock on by the Broncos after what was looking like a promising attacking set. Thaiday the culprit this time.

This game is being played at a hectic pace, it is no surprise that players are getting tired! Both sides creating opportunities, Titans are here to play folks!

Brisbane kick it down in the corner in what should be a regulation pick up for Hoffmann but he slips over! He somehow recovers and takes the ball, acrobatic stuff from the Gold Coast #1!

Brisbane Counter with a nice set of their own and Hoffmann works it out from his own goal line and is grounded 10m out.

Brisbane's form has been envious for every other club in the NRL. Wayne Bennett has his side incredibly well drilled and playing for each other which is a huge thing in the NRL. They will be aiming for their 8th straight win tonight. Their halves have been the nucleus for their success this year with consistent strong performances that have aided the Broncos classy outside backs. Their squad depth has also been very impressive as they have covered the absence of Origin stars more than once this season . Look for their bench to again have an impact as this match wears on.

Just to clarify those changes for the Titans. Myles back to the bench and is replaced by journeyman Eddy Pettybourne at Prop and Burr has dropped back to the bench as well and Agnatius Paasi comes into the starting side at second row.
The Titans will need their defence to be top notch tonight to win this game. 4 losses on the trot has been tough on the Tweed Heads based club. However if Gold Coast can play somewhere near the level they showed in their 28-14 win against Canterbury back in Round 14, they could leave Brisbane with a very valuable 2 competition points.

Hello and welcome to Brisbane for tonight's clash between the table topping Brisbane Broncos and their cross town (I use that term loosely) rivals the Gold Coast Titans. It's a lovely night here in Brisbane and the playing conditions are close to perfect. Brisbane will be keen to maintain their red hot form of late which has seen them hold a 4 point advantage at the top of the ladder after 19 rounds. No changes for the home side, they line up 1-17 and will be happy to welcome back bench utility Kodi Nikorima.
The Titans season is well and truly on the line tonight. They sit at 6-11 after 19 rounds and a loss tonight would knock them out of contention (although not mathematically). They have responded to their last 4 defeats (in which they conceding a whopping 104 points) by dropping captain and Prop Nate Myles to the bench along with Second Rower Lachlan Burr. Gold Coast will have to be at their very best tonight to even stay in touch with Brisbane, however anything is possible in the NRL. Hoping for this one to be a cracking game.
