Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans NRL 2025 Round 26 FAQ’s

Both teams have shown they have the skill to put on points, almost at will. Even without one of their most dynamic centres in Herbie Farnworth, the Dolphins have scored a combined 58 pts in their last 2 games. They are the 2nd ranked team for scoring this season, but it will all mean nothing if they cannot make their first finals appearance this year.

The Titans have reached 30 points only once this season but the flashes of brilliance and ability to score a try when they click is quite scary. They have been incredibly consistent at scoring around the 20 pt mark this season and up against a Dolphins defence that has leaked 40.4 pts per game over their last 5 there should be some fireworks.

Take the Dolphins to cover the line with the Game Total to go Over, despite it being the largest total offered on any game this season. Jeremy Marshall-King has scored in 3 of his last 4 games for the Dolphins and could definitely burrow over here.

The Dolphins have won 4 of 5 games against the Titans.
These teams are a combined 7-3 to the Over in their last 5 games.
The Dolphins are 17th and Titans 15th in opposition points over the last 5 games.
Jeremy Marshall-King has scored in 3 of his last 4 games.
Dolphins have scored the first try in 4 of the last 5 games.

Head to Head

5 games have been played between these two teams since the Dolphins came into the league. They have won 4 of those 5 including the most recent matchup in April this year 36-10.

The Under has hit in 4 straight games following the Over in the very first matchup. The winning margin was 26 earlier this year but has been 7 pts or less in 3 of the previous 4 games.

The Titans won the most recent matchup at Suncorp.

Dolphins Form Analysis

The Dolphins have been their own worst enemy this season. The second highest ranked scoring team in the NRL but languishing in 9th spot on the ladder thanks to a 3 game losing streak and some poor uncharacteristic losses earlier in the season, a combined 3 losses to the 15th and 16th placed teams.

But they are not completely written off yet, despite having one of their best players on the sideline in Herbie Farnworth, they have still scored 58 combined points in their last 2 games.

Defence is a different story, especially in the second half of the season. It is clear their goal is to outscore their opponent, 35 pts per game to opponents over their last 8 games is not good enough for a team that wants to play finals.

Gold Coast Titans Form Analysis

The Titans have lost 4 in a row and 8 of their last 9 games. The most recent outing was a 32-18 beatdown at the hands of the Warriors in a game where the Titans gave up 54% of Possession and 64% of Territory.

Gold Coast rank 10th in scoring over their last 5 games but are down in 15th in defence, allowing 30.4 pts per game to their opponents over that stretch. Over the course of the season they are the 17th ranked team with an average of 29.8 pts per game allowed.

Des Hasler has been given the boot so it will be interesting to see how the playing group reacts.
