MISTAKE Titans. The Eels get it back deep inside Titans' territory!

Titans on the attack.

That is a shocking decision. Perenara trying to explain something that doesn't make sense.

Gold Coast Titans 18-10

VIDEO REF: An attacking kick from Sezer to the right wing sees Mead touching the ball and Semi tackling him at the same time. The video ref will be checking if it's a tackle without the ball.

Titans with some space on the right and have made some big metres in this set, but it ends with a grubber, cleaned up by the Eels.

Perenara has called it a try, but we're going to have a few looks as we can't see that the ball has touched the ground.

Gold Coast Titans 12-10

VIDEO REF: A possible try to Macdonald here. Lots of Eels arms around the ball though. Looks unlikely.

At the other end, the Titans manage to keep the Eels in goal and force their 3rd drop out of the night. A clear difference in kicking games here.

Gold Coast Titans 12-10

A grubber from Kelly is too strong and the Titans get a 20 metre re-start. Too much weet-bix from the Eels' half.

The Eels deserve their lead with more enterprising play and some solid running.

Mannah now loses the ball in a solid tackle from White and Paasi. He's a bit winded there as well.

Mannah was lucky not to be pinged for a lifting tackle in that last set. He lifted the legs and then brought them back down again. No harm. No foul.

Good evening and welcome to Cbus Super Stadium for this clash between the Gold Coast Titans and the Parramatta Eels.
Several changes to both teams, but the missing centre pairing from the Eels will surely hurt them in this game.
No Myles for the Titans which brings Dave Taylor into the line-up on the bench with Moseley. Pettybourne will start.
