The Gold Coast Titans may have fallen short in a dramatic golden point thriller against Canberra, but they can hold their heads high after a gutsy performance that will make their fans proud.
Brian Kelly's clutch conversion from the sideline in the final moments to force extra time was a moment of pure sporting magic, reminiscent of Rugby League legends of the past.
Despite the nail-biting finish, Titans supporters were left on the edge of their seats as Alofiana Khan-Pereira's brilliant try and Kelly's nerveless kick sent the game into extra time.
The tension was palpable as neither team could break the deadlock in the first half of extra time, reminiscent of a classic Rugby League arm wrestle.
In the end, it was a former Titan who delivered the killer blow for the home side, but the Titans can take pride in their fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude.
It was a performance that embodied the heart and soul of Rugby League, leaving fans with a sense of pride and anticipation for what the future holds.
