KICK OFF!
Both sides are out now in front a big crowd at 1300Smiles Stadium.
Tonight I'll opt for it to be relatively close for 60 minutes before the Cowboys run away for a 32-18 win at home.
For the home side it's just a change with the hookers, Kostjasyn starts, Granville reverts to the bench. Meanwhile, the Titans have one loss with Anthony Don out with a hip injury and David Mead replacing him on the wing. Yet many will see this as a positive with Titans fans preferring Mead's electrifying brilliance to the reliable Don. And they need as much brilliance as they can to down the Cowboys tonight.
Hello and a warm welcome to tonight's clash between the Cowboys and Titans. It's a massive clash with so much on the line - the Cowboys can secure a Top 4 spot with a win whilst the Titans can grab an unlikely spot in the finals next week if they prevail. Should be a cracker!
