Try: Dolphins

Real nice set play here as Flegler isolated and bumped off Tanah Boyd before finding the Hammer to crash over and score what might be the match sealer for the Phins.

Dolphins lead Titans 10 - 22 Dolphins
62min

Kelly puts it down. I say bad moment on the previous one, it was last tackle and Katoa had Hammer on his outside on a block shape.

61min

Katoa dummies and runs... bad moment.

Aitken wanting a crusher tackle and he's not going to win!

57min

Try: Dolphins

After a lull to start the second half. The Dolphins splashed and cashed into the try-line for the first time this half as the right edge combined to send Isaako away. He found Herbie Farnworth who crosses for his first try as a Dolphin.

Dolphins lead Titans 10 - 16 Dolphins
56min

Clever kick from Tanah Boyd. Made it competitive for Brimson and forces the error from Bostock. Sharpe's ruling is challenged by the Phins. Challenge is successful. Scrum to the Dolphins.

55min

Lively kick return from Jayden Campbell. Titans now 10 short of halfway.

54min

Kind of feel the next try will take the momentum for the rest of the match. Anything can happen in our great game as the Dolphins work it out of their own end.

Hammer takes the bomb - offloaded to Katoa and is crunched by Jolliffe.

52min

Clark off - Verrills on

51min

Titans can't get out of their own end at the moment.

46min

Fifita to Campbell and he's in the clear. He takes on the Hammer and loses, Campbell flicks it out the back, it's on the ground and loose but Kelly loses it over the sideline!

44min

They are yet to feature as well as Josh Kerr or Kurt Donoghoe for the Dolphins so far.

43min

No Verrills or Stimson for the Titans.

Dolphins lead Titans 10 - 12 Dolphins
39min

Try: Dolphins
Scored by Jack Bostock. Kick to come.

After absorbing a lot of defence early and dealing with the sin-bin of Plath. The Dolphins led at the half after a lovely second try assist from Tabuai-Fidow. It was an even better finish from Bostock for his second of the match sending Tanah Boyd down the Constrictor at Wet n Wild.

Tied up at Titans 10 - 10 Dolphins
38min

Boyd is taken in-goal and it'll be a goal line dropout. Great kick from JMK.

37min

Titans only getting to their 30m on tackle 5

36min

We're back 13 v 13. Titans absolutely had a bad period there.

35min

CHALLENGE UNSUCCESSFUL! Titans lose it and Foran said a "no no word" in explaining his displeasure at Todd Smith's ruling.

A late call from Kieren Irons says a knock on but Foran is challenging quickly so off to Todd Smith we go!

34min

Tanah Boyd gets a bomb right and Bostock puts it down!

33min

VIDEO REF: Sharpe has NO TRY looking to confirm a knock on short of the line by Mark Nicholls.

32min

AKP taken in the in-goal.

32min

Erin Clark puts it down. If you want an exhibition on NOT to play down to 12 men, watch this from the Titans so far.

31min

Katoa's grubber just a fraction deep there. Averillo chasing hard but to no avail. Seven tackle set incoming for the home side.

30min

Nicholls taken just short!!

29min

PENALTY PHINS: High shot from Moe on Bostock.

28min

Titans lead Titans 10 - 4 Dolphins
23min

Jack Bostock held just short of the line. Much better attacking signs. If he doesn't juggle that I think he scores.

Rare field position inside the Titans half.

22min

SIX MORE PHINS: Inside 10m

21min

Sami puts it down and it'll be a change-over.

19min

17min

Campbell's pass is called forward to Sami. Tyson Brough the far side hasn't moved off his mark and the Dolphins hang on.

Dolphins need to work their way back into this one, had to do a lot of defending in these opening exchanges.

15min

Foran puts boot to ball and Hammer takes no chances.

15min

Boyd's kick to the right and it is 10-0.

8min

Try: Titans
Scored by Jaimin Jolliffe. Kick to come.

After going three halves without scoring a point! A clever quick play the ball allowed Brian Kelly to roam around the ruck, he then put boot to ball and the flying Jaimin Jolliffe put the ball down to cross for the opening try of the contest.

Titans lead Titans 4 - 0 Dolphins
7min

Farnworth taps Campbell's pass down and the Titans will get a fresh set following the scrum.

6min

Katoa's kick was won by Herbie Farnworth. He created some second phase but Jamayne Isaako is taken on the last inside the 10m area.

5min

Plath is dumped! Dominant tackle by Chris Randall.

4min

Dolphins roll it in behind, Isaiya Katoa getting some early ball and looking damaging. Fermor doesn't handle it and they'll go on the attack 10m out.

3min

PENALTY PHINS: Slow peel against Moeaki Fotuaika.

3min

Sharpe doesn't restart the count ruling it all off Phil Sami. Klese Haas surrenders in the tackle and it'll be a change-over. Looks the right call.

2min

Well read by Brian Kelly in defence. Dolphins saw a chance but Kodi Nikorima's pass to Herbie Farnworth goes astray and the Titans go on the attack.

1min

Both sides getting through their first sets of the evening. Dolphins getting after Tanah Boyd in the kicking game which gave them a great platform to start!

GAME ON!! Underway from the GC!

AJ Lucantonio on deck to bring you home on Super Saturday tonight!

Ref is Belinda Sharpe tonight after a great performance last week. Tyson Brough and Kieren Irons are on the sideline. Todd Smith is the man in the bunker returning after having last weekend off from the Eveleigh hub.

Onto team news. As reported yesterday, Palasia is OUT with Joe Stimson starting up front. David Fifita comes onto the bench with Harley Smith-Shields as the concussion sub this evening. For the visiting Dolphins, they are 1-17, Bromwich is the 18th man. 19. Sean O'Sullivan is omitted from the squad.

We're back in the Sunshine State on the Glitter Strip where the Titans will look to avenge an 0-2 start to the year against a 1-1 Dolphins side fresh off their first bye of the season. Gold Coast can't be as bad as what they dished up last week (SURELY) while the Dolphins are boasting some confidence following a 32-0 win over the Dragons.
