Score: Roosters 18-12 Titans

Recap: The Titans gave Trent Robinson and the Roosters an almighty scare at the SCG, despite losing two players to sin-binnings on two separate occasions, pushing them all the way to the very end. The Gold Coast team launched an unlikely assault on the reigning premiers, who were admittedly missing several key players, breaking through their left and right-edge defence on several occasions. Trailing by two converted tries with five minutes remaining, the Titans scored through Phillip Sami, with Ash Taylor slotting a brilliant sideline conversion to send shivers down Robinson's spine. But ultimately, the Tricolours' defence proved too tough to crack again as they managed to prevent Golden Point.
