Titans applying to the NRL for dispensation to wear helmets and fibreglass chest guards against the dirty dogs.

Teams front up after getting 50'd... don't they?? Titans to put in a surprise performance on what should be a goat track by Sunday's first game. Titans 32-28 on the scoreboard and will also have 1 less player in the bin than the dogs.

Dogs and Titans off a flogging, although the Titans did get 50'd, so I think they rebound better.

Chips all in on the Titans +12.5 in the lowest scoring match of the round.

Dogs have never won a magic round game I believe this is the first time they're playing an opponent that isn't the Raiders or Knights. I can't see them losing to the Titans who are god awful.

The Titans play good football for about 25 minutes, get to a lead then stop playing football to protect said lead. Des looks pretty exasperated in his pressers. Their defence hasn’t improved much under Des which is surprising.

Their Bulldogs should return to the winners’ list easily here. Bulldogs by 18 .

Based on the clear footage we're unable to see because apparently NRL referees are blind, we'll get it right by luck because the equally useless ref sent it up no try
