Preview:
The Titans head north to Brisbane this week with one thing in mind: revenge.
Gold Coast fell by 14-points last month at Shark Park, a disappointing performance for Garth Brennan’s side surrendering four unanswered first-half tries.
Last week’s blowout loss to the Cowboys has seen the Titans installed as the underdog this week. Things aren’t about to get any easier following the Sharks two-point win over the Storm last Friday night, though.
Cronulla made full use of home-field advantage dominating the possession in a 20-18 win. The Sharks also handled themselves defensively silencing Melbourne’s last-ditch efforts in the final five minutes of the game.
Considering the neutral turf this week, this game certainly presents plenty of value. The Sharks own a terrible losing record at Suncorp Stadium, including their Round 7 blowout loss to the Broncos.
Gold Coast are 5-15 as the away underdog over the last 12 months, so with that in mind, it’s tough to back them straight-up. At the line, however, the Titans are a perfect 3-0 as the underdog against the Sharks, so take this one to be close.
Tip: Cronulla Sharks at $1.65
Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Aaron Gray at $9.00
