Campbell converts
Fermor scores and you better get this party started!
Doinked off the post
Sami scores off the tap bacl
Jojo Fifita crosses for his maiden hattrick in what has been easily his best game in first grade.
SIX AGAIN TITANS: Ruck
Brisbane fans are piling out to the tune of "Na Na Na Na" at CBUS.
Successful
AKP has scored 40 in 40!
AKP flying on the coast like a Movie World dodgem car. From a scrum win, the Titans finally shift it left as Kelly isolates the defender and sent Alofiana Khan-Pereira away. He dodged several defenders like he was a dodgem at Movie World and puts an exclamation point on a ruthless second half.
Carrigan tries to create second phase and that has been put down by Willison.
So we've had a number of lower leg injuries. Before the fans slam the pitch, they have all been CONTACT INJURIES.
Sam Verrills in a bit of agony. Reece Walsh a bit frustrated with Oates. Verrills will come off - such a shame for the Titans.
Karapani has been allowed to come onto the ground so that clears up the earlier confusion at the start of the half.
VIDEO REF: Gough has NO TRY for a knock on from Deine Mariner.
Brisbane were looking for a knock on
Challenge is unsuccessful
Brisbane looking for the big play but Brian Kelly gets it done.
This is getting disastrous for Brisbane. Now Adam Reynolds is hurt.
Oates down the sideline. But he's taken in the cover defence by guess who JoJo Fifita.
SIX MORE BRISBANE: Flop
Campbell has nailed it!
Gold Coast capitalise. Kini had the Brisbane defence on tenterhooks, a brilliant pass to Fifita who brushes past some horrific cover defence and crosses for the Broncos.
PENALTY TITANS: Escort
Brisbane's season was evaporating faster than the Titan Submarine. Foran once again set his kick towards Corey Oates, Jojo Fifita again outlept the experienced winger and Campbell was jolly on the spot to collect his second. However, Sam Verrills was pinned for an alleged obstruction on Oates and the try was denied.
Jensen on report for said crusher
Gough told David to play it twice and I think the bunker might have to penalise this as Jensen lowers pressure on the back of the neck.
Campbell converts.
Gold Coast continued to entertain us when they ran once more on the last tackle. It went through several sets of hands and it ended up in the arms of Brian Kelly who races away to level the scores.
No goal
With Brisbane battling low on troops and failing to execute during the extra man advantage. The Titans capitalised, a great kick from Foran was batted back by Jojo Fifita and toed ahead by Kini. He picked it up brilliantly and grounded it by mere millimetres to give the Titans the first of the second half.
Walsh kicks early, he claims he was obstructed by the ref has no bar of it.
PENALTY BRISBANE: Erin Clark blocks the defenders
Brisbane will have just a solitary penalty goal.
Campbell's grubber, trapped and scrapped by Mozer and he recovers it
SIX MORE GLD - Inside 10m
PENALTY TITANS: Dangerous tackle
Kelly! Massive shot on Walsh
Ezra Mam not looking likely to return. They sought clarification from the NRL re: 18th man activation for Karapani. Still a grey area for us - my understanding isn't the best in this area but we will keep you informed.
HT: Brisbane lead by 18-10 but there's significant concerns for the Broncos. Reminder to check our X page for the latest scores from around the grounds !
PEN BRI: Slow peel
Ezra is coming off. This is disastrous for Brisbane!
Reynolds gets the goal off the upright.
Brisbane are down to 15
Mam is down with an ankle injury too
GONE! After a bunker review - Kini goes for ten!
VIDEO REF: Gough has no try - everyone has been in the wars with P.Gough this arvo
Gold Coast are panicking heaps - that time they tried to force a pass that wasn't on.
Titans with a rush of blood going for an early kick. Well read by Arthars.
Kelly on report for some contact on Walsh
Reynolds misses - kick predictor would've been about 96-97%
The tide of momentum swings continued to swing backwards and forwards. This time, before the break. Brisbane capitalised and after a clever Adam Reynolds kick, Kobe Hetherington got to the ball first and scored
Walsh is down !!
Brian Kelly judged to have gotten a slight touch! Scrum coming up for the visitors as they look to wrestle back some momentum.
Sweet Caroline blares out over the speakers as Brisbane will get a drop-out.
PENALTY BRONCOS: High shot from Brian Kelly.
Successful goal - 12-10.
Gold Coast started to win the middle after Haas' injury. Foran and Kini combined to go down the right hand edge. Kini broke through a poor tackle by Deine Mariner to find Jojo Fifita to score and hit back.
Isaac Liu gets some early mins
Gold Coast channeling the Harlem Globetrotters but it's put down by Chris Randall.
PENALTY TITANS: Holding down
Frantic start here. So let's calm it - Piakura now on report for a late shot on Foran in the lead up to the try. Haas off with what Brisbane officials are fearful as a "lisfranc injury".
Oh my god! Fifita (yes David) spills the kick-off. Brisbane go for the try off the scrum play but Walsh puts it down.
No goal
After a fast start from Brisbane. The Titans needed something fast and it was a shift to the right edge that sent Jojo Fifita away. He beat the Superman tackle technique of Walsh as well as Ezra Mam to unload to Kini to cross for the Titans first of the arvo.
Brisbane get a reprieve as the Titans try to expose them down the left with the SPEED of AKP.
Good contact on Jesse Arthars. Really important period for the Titans.
Reynolds converts.
BANG... BANG!! Reece Walsh is on FIRE and the Titans are on the back foot. Walsh chases his own kick and flies above Keano Kini to slam it down and cross for number two in as many minutes.
Lara Pitt is reporting that Haas had a foot injury in the warm-up and passed a last-minute fitness test but hurt it in a tackle early on and was taken off after the try.
Reynolds adds the extras.
BREAKING: Payne Haas OUT of this match
That one will be contentious. Wyatt Raymond has ruled that Verrills and Carrigan were "allegedly tangled" and that's why it was cleared according to Peter Gough. Titans are blowing up and I believe they have a strong case to feel hard doneby.
You cannot keep Reece Lightning out of the game for long. After a tense start which both sides had their share of attacking chances, Pat Carrigan created a second phase which sent Reece Walsh into space. Walsh then kicked ahead, got past Keano Kini and put the ball down for the opening try.
Kotoni Staggs was placed on report for a crunching tackle earlier in the match on I believe Brian Kelly.
PENALTY BRONCOS: Inside 10m - blind side called out and INVOLVED
Terrific bomb take from Keano Kini. Brisbane still seeming a little off here.
Titans have now burnt their challenge... with 72 mins to go. Look for Brisbane to go poking in the ruck.
Gold Coast hang on and for the second time in two plays, we are off to the Bunker and a challenge.
Ezra Mam is adamant he didn't knock it on so it's over to the Bundaberg Captain's Challenge. Gold Coast will keep the ball as Jaimin Jolliffe scrambled brilliantly - Brisbane will keep their challenge as the Bunker determined no knock on.
Line drop-out for the moment. Bunker will have a look, but won't intervene
PENALTY TITANS: Payne Haas a bit offside there as he rakes it out. Peter Gough has no option but to blow his whistle.
Kini from hooker... SO CLOSE TO SCORING!
SIX MORE BRISBANE: Slow ruck
PENALTY TITANS: Slow peel against Ezra Mam.
Great take from Kelly and he is able to stay in the field of play by millimetres. Titans now with the hard set coming off their own line.
Mariner breaks through some sloppy defence and Brisbane have the first attacking chance of the match. Plenty of tackles up the Broncos sleeve.
Both sides get through their opening sets.
Off and running from the Gold Coast. Brisbane will have first use of the football running from left to right on your screens.
Referee is Peter Gough in NRL match number 144. Touch judges are Dan Schwass and Jarrod Cole. Wyatt Raymond completes the QLD quadruple of officials manning the bunker controls.
Super Saturday commences from the GC with the Titans hosting Brisbane. A strong start already for the coast with their NRLW side holding off the determined charge by Wests Tigers. On today's team card, Jaimin Jolliffe starts up front with Erin Clark demoted to the bench as Keenan Palasia is withdrawn (playing for Tweed in Q Cup). Brisbane are 1-17.
