FULLTIME! Storm ground out a win.
Papy is human. Misses a field goal.
Storm run it on last. Tackled.
Titans spill another high kick but no one told Sualauvi Faalogo who chipped for himself. It was gathered in-goal but no advantage. What is advantage anymore.

Lovely tackle on the line to deny Hughes. Munster then punches a kick through for Nelson but the ball wins the race. Nelson did claim it for a second. No dice. Seven tackle set.
Storm roost it high and Alofiana Khan-Pereira seems to spill it back to the Storm. Ref says still fifth and calls it a turnover. CHALLENGE quickly from the Storm. It comes off Asofa-Solomona and knocked on by Khan-Pereira. SUCCESSFUL.
Storm release it on the left and kick for their fullback. The ball wins the race though.

KICK-OFF! We're back underway.
We're back for the second half with the rain easing off a bit.
Papenhuyzen against the rain and the elements kicks it. HALFTIME.
Wishart makes an impact. He gets the ball, throws a dummy then stretches out.
PENALTY STORM! High tackle.
Papenhuyzen from closer range. He raises the flags
Fitting that that is how a four-pointer is scored. Titans tried quick hands on the left but it went to ground then Sualauvi Faalogo scoops it up and has the pace.

Grant Anderson tries to go forward and catch the bomb. Knocks it on.

PENALTY TITANS! Hand on the ball. Loreiro the culprit.
Storm spill it and then challenge right away. The kick pops up and is touched by Shaun Blore. We're checking if it goes forward or back. Judged back. CHALLENGE SUCCESSFUL! Storm ball.
Titans tried to counter attack quickly. Alofiana Khan-Pereira broke down the wing but he is corralled well by Sualauvi Faalogo to take him over the sideline.
Munster not having the best start. He tosses one forward.
NAS was done after a tackle but he's up and we're back underway.

Titans tried to give the ball air again but it is knocked on.
PENALTY TITANS! Easy piggyback for the hosts.
The attacking raid comes to naught. Forward pass from Foran.
Storm go short but Khan Pereira is there to gather.
Titans opt against the penalty goal. Early grubber from them and Hughes is there to scoop it dead. Dropout.
PENALTY TITANS! Hughes with an escort against Jojo Fifita.
Campbell steps up to convert his own effort. Flags raised.
Titans strike first! Jojo Fifita sliced through then positioned it well for Jayden Campbell to go over.
We have been in an arm wrestle until an early kick rebounded off a Titan then straight back to the Storm.
Both sides through their first set in the conditions.
KICK-OFF! Here we go in the rain.
It is rainy conditions at Robina. I didn't realise the Gold Coast could do that? Anyways the Storm are out first without a pair of their origin players (Grant and Coates). Next out is the Titans who are led out by Tino Fa'asuamaleaui backing up from Wednesday. It is pouring but we're ready to go.
Good afternoon everyone! We start Super Saturday on the Gold Coast with an interesting game to unfold between perennial contenders Melbourne Storm and the mystery box Gold Coast Titans. Both teams have made so many changes the numbers have made my head dizzy. The game is about 10 minutes away so grab your drinks, snacks and whatever else you need and settle in.
