Gold Coast Titans vs Wests Tigers Preview

Thursday’s Round 15 opener has a do-or-die feel about it for both teams.

The 5-7 Gold Coast Titans are on a three-match losing streak, with their alarming second-half drop-offs coming home to roost.

Before their Round 13 bye, they blew a 14-point lead against Canterbury, then conceded the first five tries after halftime in a 46-28 loss to South Sydney last Saturday.

The Titans have comfortably the worst defence in the NRL, leaking almost 28 points per game.

The 3-9 Wests Tigers were edged 20-19 by Canberra courtesy of a late penalty goal, after staging an incredible comeback from 18-0 down with 12 minutes remaining.

Though a disappointing follow-up to their 66-18 annihilation of the Cowboys, it was another example of the Tigers’ grit – conceding just 16.4 points per game in their last five outings.

The Titans are without David Fifita (head knock) and Chris Randall (suspension), but AJ Brimson and Brian Kelly return to bolster the backline. Sam Verrills moves into the starting line-up with Kruise Leeming joining the bench along with Jaimin Jolliffe.

The Titans are on a four-match winning streak against the Tigers, including a Round 1 upset at Leichhardt Oval, getting up 22-10. The Tigers have a 5-6 record against the Titans at Cbus Super Stadium

Gold Coast is only a narrow home favourite, losing its last two at Cbus Super Stadium by 17-plus points after starting the year 2-0 at their Robina headquarters.

The resolve, cohesion and individual improvement the Tigers have found in recent weeks should be enough for them to take the two points.
