In a disappointing turn for the Newcastle Knights, they suffered their sixth loss in seven matches after letting a 20-point lead slip against the Titans.
Despite getting off to a strong start with tries from Dylan Lucas, Fletcher Sharpe, and Mat Croker within the first 30 minutes, the Knights faced a turning point when Phil Sami scored just before halftime, causing concern for the team.
Head coach Adam O'Brien's squad struggled to maintain their advantage, ultimately falling apart in the second half.
Looking ahead, the Knights are set to battle the Parramatta Eels, who also find themselves in a tough situation after missing several opportunities against the Dolphins, marking their seventh defeat of the season.
With the tightly packed ladder, this matchup is crucial; the winner will stay in contention for a top-eight spot, while the loser will face a grim outlook as they head into the remainder of the season.
The stakes are high as the teams prepare to clash at McDonald Jones Stadium on Friday night.
