Arabic version: تيتانز يشنون انتفاضة ويتقدمون على مانلي بعد خروج تربوييفيتش للإصابة
Tom Trbojevic opened the scoring for the Sea Eagles in the opening minute but limped off soon after with what was confirmed as a hamstring injury. Manly had started quickly with two early tries, yet the Gold Coast responded strongly to take control of the contest.
According to ABC News, the Titans surged to a 28-14 lead at halftime thanks to influential contributions from Jayden Campbell, Jojo Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui. The live coverage noted Fifita’s try and AJ Brimson’s score — which required a Bunker review before being awarded — among several decisive moments that swung momentum decisively to the home side.
The match featured several standout plays. Jason Saab collected his second try for Manly as the visitors showed early pace, but the Titans answered with a string of high-quality scores. Jojo Fifita’s sweeping finish and a 40th-minute AJ Brimson charge were highlighted in the reporting, while Oliver Pascoe and Dean Ieremia also crossed for the Titans as they overturned an early deficit to build their halftime advantage.
Live updates described the emotional impact of Trbojevic’s exit: reporters saw the Manly fullback walking into the sheds with his hands over his face and described him as looking “crushed.” Coverage pointed out that he had missed many games earlier in the season with a left hamstring tear and that this new hamstring issue — reported as the other leg — compounds his fitness concerns. That interruption to a key fullback was noted as a factor that could influence Manly’s chances as they push toward the finals.
The coverage continued beyond this fixture, with a Queensland derby between the Dolphins and the North Queensland Cowboys scheduled at Lang Park and NRLW matches including the Titans hosting the Eels, the Broncos taking on the Wests Tigers and the Knights playing the Dragons.
