The Ipswich Jets, affiliated with the Gold Coast Titans, secured a crucial victory in the Hostplus Cup, keeping them in the running for the finals.
They managed to hold on for a 22-20 win over the PNG Hunters, who had defeated the Tweed Seagulls in the previous week.
The Hunters almost completed a comeback in the 77th minute, but a missed conversion allowed the Jets to maintain their lead.
The Titans affiliates featured players like Isazac Faásuamaleaui, Ryan Foran, and the returning Josaih Pahulu, who had been sidelined with a concussion since February.
Pahulu's comeback comes at a time when the Titans are facing multiple injuries, and his return adds depth to the NRL team during the upcoming matches.
This victory is vital for the Jets as they strive to secure a spot in the finals and continue their strong performance in the Hostplus Cup.
