In our 80th Anniversary season, we head down memory lane to look at the history between the Sea Eagles and the Gold Coast Titans ahead of Saturday’s match at 4 Pines Park, Brookvale.
Head-to-Head vs Titans
Saturday night’s match marks the 30th clash between the two clubs since the Titans joined the NRL in 2007.
Manly holds an overall 16-13 winning record but at 4 Pines Park, the record stands at six wins apiece.
Biggest winning margin
Remember this one from April, 2021?
It was a 36-point victory in our favourite country town of Mudgee.
Wingers Reuben Garrick and Jason Saab crossed for two tries each in the 36-0 win in a Manly home game at Glen Willow Stadium.
Brad Parker and Tom Trbojevic also scored a try each. Garrick kicked six from seven goals to finish with a personal haul of 20 points.
Most points scored in a match
The Sea Eagles lit up the Gold Coast with a thumping 56-24 win at Cbus Super Stadium in 2021 in a game of two halves.
The Titans dominated possession in the first half to lead 24-8 at the break before the Sea Eagles piled on a massive 48 unanswered points in an incredible second half performance.
Winger Reuben Garrick scored four tries, full-back Tom Trbojevic crossed for a hat-trick, and winger Jason Saab recorded a double. Daly Cherry-Evans and Haumole Olakau’atu also crossed for a try each.
Garrick became just the 19th Manly player to score four tries in a match since the club’s inception in 1947. He would repeat the feat again with four tries against Canberra in 2025.
Most tries scored in a match
How often do you see Manly run in 11 tries in a match?
Yes, it came in that 56-24 win at Cbus Super Stadium in 2021 in Manly’s greatest win over the Titans.
The 11 tries beat Manly’s previous best haul of eight tries against the Titans at Brookvale Oval in 2013.
Most goals scored in a match
Former Titans half-back Tanah Boyd holds this record with eight goals from eight in a 44-24 win over Manly in 2022.
Garrick leads the way for Manly after kicking six goals in the two wins in 2021.
Most individual points scored in a match
Is it any surprise that this record belongs to Reuben Garrick?
Garrick recorded a personal haul of 28 points in the 56-24 win at Cbus Super Stadium in 2021 through four tries and six goals.
It could have been even higher if Garrick had his kicking boots on, converting just six from 11 goals.
An incredible effort.
Most individual tries scored in a match
Surely, you have guessed this by now?
Who else but Garrick with his four tries in the 56-24 win.
Next best for Manly is Tom Trbojevic with two hat-tricks against the Titans in 2018 and 2021.
Longest winning streak
Manly’s longest winning streak against the Titans is three.
Three times the Sea Eagles have achieved this with the latest being from April 17, 2021 to April 16, 2022.
