The NRL was left in uproar as Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was controversially sin binned, leaving fans and commentators scratching their heads in disbelief amidst scenes of historical significance on the Gold Coast.
The Gold Coast Titans made headlines by rewriting their record books with a resounding 66-6 victory over the New Zealand Warriors on Saturday afternoon.
The Warriors, who reached the preliminary final last year, seemed a mere shadow of their former selves as the Titans notched both their largest winning margin and highest total in club history.
The previous record for the biggest win was a 44-0 triumph over the Warriors in 2021, while the Titans had scored 44 points on four occasions in their history.
This latest victory even marked the highest score by any Gold Coast franchise in the annals of first-grade rugby league.
In a performance reminiscent of a bygone era, Kieran Foran managed to rack up four try assists, a feat not seen from him since 2011.
The Titans' dominance on the field left no doubt that they were making a statement to the rest of the competition.
It was a match filled with twists and turns, leaving fans gasping in disbelief and sparking debates that will surely carry on long after the final whistle had blown.
The NRL landscape had been reshaped, and the Titans had firmly planted their flag in the ground as contenders to be reckoned with.
