The Gold Coast Titans have won consecutive matches for the first time since 2010 and will be looking to win three straight tonight when they clash against Queensland rivals the North Queensland Cowboys. Join us for live scores and commentary from 7:30pm AEST.
The Cowboys might have expected to have it all their own way against the Titans tonight, as they sit nicely up in sixth place on the NRL ladder compared to the Titans’ 12th.
However, the Gold Coast are coming off consecutive wins against the Bulldogs and Knights respectively and will quitely fancy their chances of causing an upset.
North Queensland succumbed to the Tigers last week and will be desperate to reclaim their place inside the top four with a win against the Titans.
With the likes of Scott Prince, Nate Myles, Ashley Harrison and Greg Bird all starting to hit form however, the Gold Coast will be a tough nut to crack at home.
Prediction
Although they currently reside in 12th position, the Titans have vastly improved their performances over the past few weeks, winning three of their past five matches.
The Gold Coast however do face a litmus test of sorts tonight as they play a Cowboys outfit coming off a loss to the Tigers last week.
The forward battle tonight should be a beauty with in-form Cowboys props Matt Scott and James Tamou squaring off against Origin stars Bird, Harrison and Myles.
Tamou in particular has to be kept quite tonight if the Titans are to give themselves the best chance of defeating the Cowboys.
The NSW Origin prop was outstanding against the Tigers last week, chasing down Benji Marshall in defence before making a tremendous break of his own which led to a try to Cowboys centre Ashley Graham.
If Tamou is able to reproduce last week’s performance, the Titans will have a hard time containing a Cowboys attack that is immensely difficult to stop when defending on the back foot, particularly with Johnathon Thurston in such fine form.
The Titans however do have danger men of their own, with Prince and Srama very capable of causing havoc around the ruck if the Cowboys fail to muscle up in the middle of the field.
Although they are at opposite ends of the NRL ladder, the Titans and Cowboys both have a lot to play for tonight, and it may take a piece of Thurston or Matthew Bowen magic to get the Cowboys home.

I just got home from the game. What a disappointment!
The Cowboys’ line speed was sluggish all night. They didn’t create much second-phase play for their little blokes to work off. Their halves didn’t take the line on enough times. I remember Thurston putting Thompson into a break after receiving an offload from one of the forwards, and it would have led to a try if Thompson got the ball to the support that was to his right, but he was too busy looking for support on his left shoulder. I didn’t see Bowen work on the inside of Thurston and Thompson very often.’
Payne is past it. He’s alright in 30 minute spells, but he cannot play 73 minutes straight, like he did when Segeyaro was taken off the field with an injury. The attack was poor from that moment on.
Idrish dominated Tate.
Titans aren’t a flashy side, but they play with discipline, which is something the Cowboys lacked.
I hate going to the big stadiums. It takes ages to get to them. The rows are so narrow. I prefer going to the Queensland Cup games. If a big stadium is built in Sydney then I hope the planners have enough sense to put plrenty of space between the rows.

Cowboys didn’t do enough off the ball. Their decoy runners were all travelling in the same direction. The Titans were able to stand their ground and slide whenever the Cowboys put it through the hands there was no threat of one of the runners changing their line to run towards the posts.It allowed Idris and Prince to come up and in on Thurston, Thompson, Bowen, Tate and Linnett.
The Tigers were successful in coming up and in on Thurston, Bowen and Thompson last week. The Cowboys will have to work on that.

The Titans have secured their third straight win by beating the Cowboys 28-12 tonight. If there was ever a victory that was built on defence, tonight’s match was it. The Titans were superb in defence for the opening 15 minutes against a Cowboys team that had all the possession. The Cowboys just couldn’t crack a stern Titans defence and were made to pay dearly later on when the Titans scored two tries with their first two attacking chances of the night. The Titans then went on with the job in the second half as Prince, Sezar, Champion, Harrison, Myles, Zillman and Bird all shone in unison. The Cowboys were lethargic to say the least with Thurston and Bowen not at their best. Are the Titans the real deal yet again? Thanks for joining us for this live blog and we look forward to your company next time on The Roar.

The Titans have produced one of the best defensive performances of any NRL side this season as they lead 12 nil against the Cowboys. The Titans had only completed two sets 13 minutes into the contest and have conceded six line drop-outs tonight against the Cowboys. However, Thurston, Bowen, Tamou, Graham and Tate have failed to crack a stern Titans defence tonight and will be frustrated in the sheds. The Titans on the other hand have only really had two attacking chances and they have converted both with tries to Gordon and Bird. Overall, the Titans are full of belief and are well on course to produce an upset that may just ignite their season. Cowboys have to respond quickly in the second half. Can they do it or will the Titans hold on and secure three straight?

KICKOFF – Titans muck up the kickoff as they let the football bounce and it goes into touch. Cowboys will get the drop-out and will go right on the attack. Terrible start from the Titans.
Titans 0

Good evening and welcome to this live blog covering what should be an exciting and close contest between the Titans and Cowboys. Both these teams are very evenly matched historically, with five wins a piece. After winning consecutive matches for the first time since 2010, the Titans will be hoping to win their first home game of season 2012. The Cowboys however will be no pushover, and possess wonderful strike players across the park. Can the Titans secure their third straight win or will the Cowboys bounce back from last week’s loss against the Tigers? Leave your thoughts on the match as it happens.
