Raeli gets us underway with Twal to follow. The captain made a good run there. Solid set straight up and Jason Vidal is the kicking options as he hoofs it down field.
Izzard has a run down the left. Twal settles the Eels for an attacking kick but Vidal's option of the last - the bomb - is too deep and is taken in goals for a 20m restart.
Good shot from Reimis Smith there! Titans attacking the Eels' left edge there but stopped flat in their tracks.
The Titans bomb towards Davis and Gafa but lose the ball forwards in the contest for a turnover.
Another completed set for the Eels, this time French is the kicker but he too can only manage to pick out one of the back three for the Titans.
Another penalty late in the count for the Titans, starting to add up now with the Eels yet to notch up a penalty.
Titans on the attack again and the pressure comes to a breaking point as the visitors crash over next to the posts. Odd try, truth to be told, as the Titans forward just about stumbled through two defenders to score.
Too easy for the Titans there, simply striding through our left edge defence. Might have been Smith the culprit there.
French has to make a try saving cover tackle and does so.
The Eels scramble well to stop the Titans from opening the flood gates and on the last the Titans have a genuine chance to score from a cross field kick but Miski does enough to separate the catcher from the ball and get a 20m restart.
Good in roads by Reimis Smtih there after getting some early ball and Parra finally get into the attacking red zone.
French zips in down the right and rolls it in behind almost perfectly! Davis chases through and grabs the ball going oh-so-close to scoring but the ball squirrels out into touch.
What's this? A Parra feed to the scrum? I will take it.
Bit of white line fever early on this set but some class from Bevan French proves enough to crack the defensive line of the Titans!
Again he is involved down the right and throws the cut out ball to Gafa who just strolls over.
Great run from Fuimaono. Amone with a solid follow up.
French down the left now as he links up with Smith to no real result.
Izzard bombs to our right where Davis soars up and takes something of a speccy, he quickly throws a ball over the shoulder to Gafa and Atini pins his ear for the line.
The Gold Coast fullback comes across in cover but Gafa steps off his right and brushes past him to score out wide.
Another run for Twalm this one from the kick off. Amone and Raeli to follow before the Eels spin the ball to Fuimaono down the right who earns our first penalty of the game.
Nice touch finder from Davis who also takes the tap restart.
Raeli centres the pill right to the posts before the Eels line up with a left-edge set play. French gets the ball two wide of the ruck throws a dummy to the left and goes damn close to scoring but the ref rules he has was aided by an obstruction.
The Titans make the most of the reprieve with an offload down their left edge netting them another line break. Missed who was to blame there. French again makes the cover tackle but the line is in tatters and the Titans crash over out wide on our right from the next play.
Good shot forcing an error there! Penalty to follow for holding down in the subsequent turnover tackle.
Muna steams into the line for the first, Vidal throwing a flat ball to Tyrell on the next. Sloppy stuff for the next two tackles but we net another penalty.
Davis with the initial run now. Vidal throws a long cut out down the left but it was against a shooting defensive line and I think it was Amone that dropped it.
Titans then pick up a penalty and will go on the attack yet again.
Important knock down from Gafa there. Titans squandered a 3-on-1.
Some fortune for the Eels afterwards as the Titans make an unforced error.
"Disagree but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
what I do agree is that Talagi is not an X factor like forward. He is like your JWH. Has an offload, plays with aggression and goes after the alpha forward physically and with words. He attracts 3…"
"Harry Grants second one where he ran through Smith and Iongi oh boy the tip sheet out the window and fatigue regardless both of his tries should never have happened.The first one was deadset was an embarrassment Paulo and whoever lie on the ground…"

Nifty work around the ruck from the Titans and they pick up a penalty as Parra bring up the last tackle.
The kick for touch and resume play 10m off Parra's goal line. Time off for a bit of blood I think.
Big right edge shift from the Titans but Bush I think it was made a great tackle. Could have been Izzard as well.
Another penalty to the Titans, came in the ruck.
Movement to the Titan's left edge now but the Eels mark up well.
Good line speed in front of the posts and Parra survive the extended raid as the kick from the visitors rolls dead.
