In a thrilling encounter at PointsBet Stadium, the Gold Coast Titans emerged victorious with a 10-8 win over the Sharks, thanks to a 69th-minute try by Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsel.
Despite trailing 8-0 at halftime, the Titans showcased their resilience and determination, refusing to surrender until the very end.
Ormond-Maunsel's crucial try was set up by the dynamic combination of fullback Evania Pelite and halfback Siena Lofipo, who played pivotal roles in both of the Gold Coast team's tries.
Pelite, in particular, stood out with an exceptional performance, running an impressive 200 meters with the ball and breaking eight tackles throughout the game.
Additionally, 18-year-old forward Rilee Jorgensen made a significant impact off the bench, delivering bone-crunching tackles that left a mark on the opposition.
This dramatic victory marks the Titans' third consecutive win in the NRLW, a remarkable achievement since their establishment in 2021.
However, it was the Sharks who dominated the early stages of the game, earning their reward when Kiana Takairangi scored a try in the corner, courtesy of a perfectly executed pass from five-eighth Emma Tonegato and swift hands out wide.
