In a dominant display, the Titans have eliminated the Raiders from the finals race and secured a solid third-place finish with a comfortable 30-6 triumph at GIO Stadium on Sunday.
The official website of the Raiders, raiders.com.au, has reported on this significant outcome with the headline "Titans end finals dream for Raiders with clinical win." Led by coach Karyn Murphy, the Titans showcased their attacking prowess by scoring four consecutive tries in the first half, building an imposing 22-0 lead that proved insurmountable for their opponents.
Hooker Brittany Breayley-Nati played a pivotal role, providing two try assists within a brief eight-minute period, setting up Shannon Mato and Evania Pelite for tries from close range.
The Titans' left edge proved to be a constant thorn in the Raiders' defense, with Lauren Brown, Jaime Chapman, and Shaylee Bent all crossing the try line.
Despite a late consolation try from Madison Bartlett, the Raiders were unable to overturn the deficit, as Sienna Lofipo's late try sealed the victory for the Titans.
With this commanding win, the Titans have now set their sights on a sudden-death clash against the Roosters in the upcoming finals.
