Titans scrap past Bulldogs
Gold Coast has hung on to claim a 30-20 win over last-placed Canterbury in Robina.
After four losses in their past five matches, the Titans were not exactly convincing in their victory over the Bulldogs, which was probably too close for comfort for coach Justin Holbrook.
The result — secured without suspended trio David Fifita, Herman Ese’ese and Tyrone Peachey, as well as marquee half Ash Taylor — lifts Gold Coast to a 5-6 win-loss record after 11 games.
Defeat leaves Canterbury still searching for its second win in 2021 and rooted to the bottom of the ladder.
The Titans made a fast start when Brian Kelly’s perfectly weighted grubber found AJ Brimson for the Gold Coast fullback to opening the scoring.
The Bulldogs thought they had struck back 10 minutes later when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak crashed over but the bunker ruled an obstruction on Jarrod Wallace in the build-up to deny the four-pointer.
Moments later Bulldogs backrower Chris Smith was placed on report for a crusher tackle on Phillip Sami and from the resulting penalty Gold Coast extended its lead when Tino Fa’asuamaleaui stepped through some weak defence to score his first try for the Titans.
Smith bounced back to put the Bulldogs on the board in the 25th minute when a flowing move from inside their own half created an overlap and Nick Cotric sprinted clear before feeding the ball to the supporting Smith.
More clever work by Kelly after a Brimson break allowed Sami to restore Gold Coast’s two-try advantage but the Bulldogs struck back right on half-time with Cotric crashing over.
The Bulldogs made a horror start to the second half, with Sione Katoa placed on report for a crusher tackle on Fa’asuamaleaui, before Dylan Napa was sin-binned for a high-shot on opposite number Wallace.
The Titans prop then crashed over from the next set to put the home side 14 points ahead.
Canterbury refused to go away and Kevin Proctor was placed on report for high contact on Matt Doorey, before Beau Fermor was sent to the sin-bin for a high shot on Jake Averillo, with Nick Meaney scoring from the next set to put the Bulldogs back in the game.
The Bulldogs got within four points when Englishman Luke Thompson dived over from close range after Jamal Fogarty had been placed on report for making high contact on Bulldogs five-eighth Brandon Wakeham.
But Gold Coast sealed the win with less than five minutes to play when Brimson, who signed a five-year extension during the week, completed his double after a solid bust by impressive front rower Moeaki Fotuaika.
