Last time they met @ Cbus Super Stadium - Rd 3, 2013
TITANS 16. Tries: Ryan James, David Mead. Goals: Aidan Sezer 4/4.
SEA EAGLES 14. Tries: Jorge Taufua (2), Tom Symonds. Goals: Jamie Lyon 1/3.
A penalty goal to the Titans in the final minutes of Saturday night’s match at Skilled Park handed the Sea Eagles their first loss of 2013.
In a tryless first half that was dominated through the middle, the big men spent the best part of 40 minutes sussing each other out.
The defence was a real highlight from both sides. The Titans and Manly chanced their arms in the back end of the first half but again it was a game built on determination and grit from both forward packs.
There were few chances in the first half and both sides were presented with good field possession, but failed to capitalise as they continuously made crucial errors.
With the scores locked up at 14-all with only minutes remaining, dramatically, Cherry-Evans kicked the ball out on the full from a goal line drop out.
The Titans took the two points from right in front and endured a last ditch effort from Manly to record their second win of the season.
