Show Preview
Round 21 wraps up with the Gold Coast Titans desperately trying to retain their place in the top eight against fellow Queenslanders the North Queensland Cowboys. Tune into events from the glitter strip with live scores on The Roar from 4:05pm (AEST).
Valentine Holmes is a welcome return for the Cowboys, who suffered an embarrassing loss to the lowly Broncos in last week’s derby. Mathematically, they’re still in the finals hunt, but spiritually, Todd Payten’s team seem all but shot now.
Kane Bradley passes Holmes on the way out with a fractured hand that has all but ended his season, while Jason Taumalolo looks like shifting from lock to the second-row in an interesting tactical manoeuvre.
The Titans haven’t had it all their own way this year, but in the battle for those last few spots in the eight, they’re currently the best place. Sitting seventh courtesy of a differential-boosting win over the Bulldogs in Round 20, Justin Holbrook’s outfit simply must fill there boots here ahead of a nightmare run home.
Up next for the Titans is the Rabbitohs and the Storm, which could see them drastically fall behind in the race for the eight, especially if they go under today.
