In a thrilling match at Cbus Super Stadium, the Gold Coast Titans emerged victorious over the Parramatta Eels with a commanding scoreline of 34-12.
This win has placed the Titans in a favorable position to secure a top-four spot at the end of the season, giving them a strong chance of making it to the finals.
The Titans have now overtaken the Broncos and moved up to third position in the league standings.

This would mark their first entry into the finals since their inaugural season in 2021.
The Titans dominated the first half of the game, with their Origin star, Jamie Chapman, scoring a remarkable hat-trick.
Chapman's outstanding performance laid the foundation for the home side's success, as they secured their third consecutive win.
The game initially started as a close contest, but the Titans seized control when they converted a midfield scrum into a slick try on the left-hand side, with Kiria-Ratu crossing the try line for her second of the match.
Just before halftime, the Titans extended their lead through a well-executed play on the left edge, as Lauren Brown and Kiria Ratu combined to set up an untouched try for Jaime Chapman.
In the second half, the Titans continued their dominance, scoring another impressive try from a scrum play in the attacking red zone, with Chapman once again finding the try line after being brought down by Lauren Brown.
