Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:28pm: Full-time here. The Cowboys, although commiting plenty of errors, seemed able to turn on their attack when required. While the Titans, despite all their toil, lacked cohesion in attack. A srappy affair all over here with the Cowboys outclassing the Titans, recording their third win on the trot. They are now one win outside of finals contention. Johnathan Thurston again was decisive in the match.Final score: Cowboys 22 Titans 10 Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:22pm: 79th min: Could be another injury here. Ashley Harrison is holding his arm, whincing in pain. Cowboys 22 Titans 10 Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:20pm: Sad news for Luke O'Dwyer. He's done his ACL. He's due to retire at the end of the season - a terrible way to finish his career. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:18pm: Bowen coughs up the ball on his 40m line. This is getting scappy. Three minutes to go and the Titans are on the attack but the Cowboys are defending well. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:16pm: The Titans look cactus. And there's another dropped ball - this time by the hard-working Minichiello. He didn't deserve that. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:14pm: A neat Thurston grubber is snapped up by Glenn Hall and the Cowboys are over for what looks like a four-pointer. Video Ref is having a look at it. And he gives it. Thurston misses the conversion. Cowboys 22 Titans 10 after 74 minutes. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:10pm: Matty Bowen grubber gobbled up by Kevin Gordon. Cowboys on the attack. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 7:07pm: Dangerous Titans bomb defused by Kane Linnett after barnstorming run by Minichiello. Cowboys 18 Titans 10 Upvotes:0 Downvotes:1 Copy Link World of pain: Greg Bird. Photo: Getty Images 6:58pm: Greg Bird won't be joinging the match again tonight. His back injury is not serious but obvioudly painful enough the end his evening's play. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:57pm: 59th min: Delicate kick by Matt Bowen in behind the Titans defence is perfectly placed for Kyle Feldt who grounds the ball for the Cowboys third try and Feldt's second on the night. Thurston converts with aplomb.Cowboys 18 Titans 10. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:55pm: The Cowboys target David Mead again with the high ball and the tactic proves smart as the Titans fullback drops the high ball. Here come the Cowboys. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:53pm: 55th min: Is this a try for the Cowboys. Thurston kicks cross-field to Antonio Winterstein who looked to be wrapped up by Titans defenders before Kane Linnett pulled his teammate across the line. No try is the decision. There were two Cowboys players driving Winterstein across the line.Cowboys 12 TItans 10 Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:49pm: Injury report: Greg Bird is suffering back spasms but the veteran should return to the match. Suprising considering the pain he looked to be in. Upvotes:2 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:47pm: 50th min: Kevin Gordon scores for the Titans after an error by Cowboys gives up posession. The Titans winger ran onto a smart cross-field kick by Aidan Sezer. Sezer converts the try. Only two points in this one.Cowboys 12 Titans 10 Upvotes:2 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:44pm: 49th min: Well-placed kick by Ashley Harrison who finds touch a couple of metres out of the Cowboys tryline. The strong set of six in defence is required by the Titans here to build some early momentum.Cowboys 12 Titans 4. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:41pm: Swinging arm from Ryan Jones on Joel Riethmuller missed by the refs. That looked nasty. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:40pm: 45th min: We have an injury here. Titans co-captain Greg Bird looks to have buckled his back as he attempted to pick up Gavin Cooper. He looks in trouble here. He can hardly walk, determined to leave the pitch under his own volition. Bird leaves the pitch in what is a big blow for the Tians early in this second half.Cowboys 12 Titans 4 Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:33pm: Haven't the Cowboys been wasteful? They've completed 10 sets out of 19 and still lead on the scoreboard. The Cowboys kick this one off. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:22pm: Half-time here at 1300SMILES Stadium. The Cowboys have undoubtedly been the more dangerous side but have committed ot many errors with ball in hand. THe Titans have lacked penetration despite having the lions-share of possession. Cowboys 12 Titans 4 Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:17pm: 38th min: Titans centre Brad Takairangi throws the ball away in another fluffed opportunity in attack. Execution has been poor from the finals hopefuls. They need to start executing in attack if they are going to bridge this points-gap.Cowboys 12 Titans 4 Upvotes:1 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 6:15pm: 37th min: Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt takes a mouthful of Kevin Gordon's hip and is slow to rise. Don't think he enjoyed that! Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:15pm: Solid defence on display here by the Cowboys. They have been quick to apply presure in this first half. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:11pm: 33rd min: Penalty Cowboys. Two attempts by the Titans to slow the play down result in a Cowboys penalty. The Titans are testing the ref's patience here. Cowboys take the tap on the hunt for another try. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:09pm: 32nd min: Crushing tackle by veteran Luke O'Dwyer. His timing was impeccible forcing Ashton Sims to drop the ball. Stink! Sims didn't like that tackle - or more importantly didn't like how good the tackle was. Picked the big forward up and dumped him. Great defence!Cowboys 12 Titans 4. Upvotes:2 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 6:07pm: 29th min: Try Cowboys who spread the ball through hands tp winger Kyle Feldt who leaps for the tryline under pressure. The youngster did well to ground the ball. Thurston converts.Cowboys 12 Titans 4 Jumping for joy: Kyle Feldt crosses the line for the Cowboys' second try. Photo: Getty Images Upvotes:1 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 6:04pm: Big Dave Taylor fumbles the ball for the Titans after attacking the Cowboys line. This is trouble for the Titans. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 6:01pm: 24th min: Matt Bowen breaks the Titans line but fumbles a pass giving the Titans great field position for an attack. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:59pm: 23rd min: Robert Lui drops the ball on the back of a good set from the Cowboys to let the Titans off the hook. THe Titans have dominated the first 20 minutes here without much to show for their dominant field position.Cowboys 6 Titans 4 Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:56pm: Ryan James is helped from the field. Looked accidental, no malice there. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 5:55pm: Titans forward Ryan James takes an Ashton Sims shoulder to the mouth - and he looks out of it. Sims placed on report. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 5:52pm: Another error from the Titans this time it's Ben Ridge who fumbles the ball. The Cowboys let-off again deep in their territory.Cowboys 6 Titans 4 after 16 min. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:49pm: Penalty Titans. Cowboys called up for obstruction. The Cowboys captain Thurston protests his innocence claiming he didn't change his line but the ref has none of it.Cowboys 6 Titans 4 after 13 min Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:46pm: Try Titans - looks like there will be plenty of points in this one. Fullback David Mead crosses the line after the Titans spread the ball with pace right. Aidan Sezer misses the conversion.Cowboys 6 Titans 4 after 9 minutes. Upvotes:1 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:43pm: The Titans have their first chance running at the Cowboys line through a strong Joel Riethmuller run who bumps off winger Kyle Feldt. The young winger tried to come out of the line early but ended up exposing his try-line. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:41pm: Try Cowboys. Beautiful run by Gavin Cooper who ran onto a timely Thurston ball. Poor defending by Brad Takairangi and Ashley Harrison who didn't looked to have woken up in this one. Thurston converts.Cowboys 6 Titans 0 after 6 minutes Upvotes:0 Downvotes:1 Copy Link 5:39pm: 3rd min: Kyle Feldt takes a high Thurston bomb on his chest in only his third NRL match. Very secure handling by the young winger who will no-doubt be tested by the Titans kicking game. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:37pm: The Titans kick this one off deep into the Cowboys' in-goal. A strong set of six by the Cowboys with direct running by the Cowboys forwards. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:35pm: Welcome to the Cowboys versus Titans blog in this all-Queensland clash at 1300SMILES Stadium. Can the Cowboys halt the Titans' run of three wins in what Cowboys coach Neil Henry predicted what will be a 'battle of the forwards'. Upvotes:0 Downvotes:0 Copy Link 5:23pm: 1300SMILES Stadium, Saturday 5.30pm (AEST)Last meeting: Titans 31 bt Cowboys 12 at Skilled Park, Round 12, 2013Head-to-head: Cowboys 5 Titans 7Referees: Matt Cecchin,[url=http://www.ugg-boots-sale.org]cheap ugg[/url], Alan ShortallTV: Live, FoxSports 1TAB: Cowboys $1.30 Titans $3.60FootyTab: Titans +7.5Phil Mitchell writes: Many were prepared to perform the last rites on the injury-hit Titans’ finals hopes three weeks ago when they were spanked 32-4 by Souths. But back-to-back wins against Wests Tigers and Canterbury, combined with both Canberra and the Warriors failing to add to their tallies in the past fortnight, have lifted Gold Coast back into the top eight. Another victory here would consolidate the Titans’ position and set them up well for a difficult run home against Warriors (h), Roosters (a) and Storm (a). North Queensland are finishing with a flourish to theoretically remain an outside chance of making the finals, but it’s doubtful even the players themselves believe they’re a hope in hell. The Cowboys have lost four of the past seven home games against the Titans.Phil's tip: Titans by 10.AAP writes: Both sides come into this match unchanged and rejuvenated following back-to-back wins, each knocking off a top five side in the process. For the Cowboys that means their season remains alive by the narrowest of margins, while the Titans have snuck back into the top eight. There’s sure to be a great battle between the forward packs, the Titans boasting Origin stars Nate Myles and Greg Bird and the Cowboys James Tamou and Matt Scott. It’s highly unlikely both these teams will make the finals so expect a no holds barred Queensland showdown.Key: Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston’s man-of-the-match performance in their 36-4 romping of the Panthers last week shows he’s pulling no punches in a desperate bid to lead his team to the finals.COWBOYS: Matthew Bowen, Kyle Feldt, Brent Tate, Kane Linnett, Antonio Winterstein, Johnathan Thurston (capt), Robert Lui, Matthew Scott (capt), Ray Thompson, James Tamou, Gavin Cooper,[url=http://www.ugg-boots-sale.org]ugg outlet[/url], Glenn Hall, Joel Riethmuller.
