Titans score thrilling upset over Dragons
Adam Gardini

A sneaky extra time field goal by Mat Rogers has landed the Jetstar Gold Coast Titans a thrilling 11-10 golden point win over the St George Illawarra Dragons at Win Jubilee Stadium tonight.

Rogers landed an 89th minute field goal from dummy half to secure the Titans a much needed victory which keeps them inside the top eight with six games of the regular season remaining.

The result marks the first ever win by a Gold Coast team at WIN Jubilee Stadium.

The Titans trailed 10-6 at halftime after being on the wrong end of a
7-2 penalty count in a tough opening 40 minutes.

But a second half try to winger Kevin Gordon levelled the scores and saw the game ultimately head into golden point.

The Titans had three failed field goal attempts during extra time and the Dragons missed two, before Rogers landed the killer blow with less than one minute remaining.

Backrower Anthony Laffranchi opened the scoring with an early try to give the visitors a 6-nil lead

The Dragons bounced back through a try to Ben Creagh after the decision was sent to the video referee.

The home side edged ahead courtesy of a penalty goal and extended that lead to four points just before halftine when they were awarded a penalty after being disallowed a try.

However, the Titans held the Dragons scoreless in the second half to score a pivotal victory over the competition favourites ahead of next weekend's tough away trip to New Zealand to take on the Warriors.
