Titans shock Roosters
The injury depleted Gold Coast Titans have notched one of the upsets of the season with a 32-26 victory over the Sydney Roosters at the SFS.
In a courageous and gritty performance, the visitors scored three unanswered tries in the second stanza to overcome a 28-16 deficit at halftime.
Veteran Five-eighth Mat Rogers and livewire playmaker Preston Campbell were the catalysts for the win, while the Titans' forwards held their own against a much larger and more experienced Roosters pack. On debut, winger Jordan Rapana leapt high to touch down for two tries.
In a further positive for the Gold Coast, rookie fullback Shannon Walker looked very dangerous from fullback in just his second NRL match.
