- Gold Coast Titans vs Canberra Raiders NRL 2025 Round 7 FAQ’s
The Raiders have won 4 of the last 5 against the Titans and currently sit 3rd in average points scored per game thanks to their big victory over the Eels last weekend. They rank 5th in Run Metres on the season with their big and mobile forward pack charging through the opposition defensive line like it is made of paper.
Gold Coast are at the other end of the spectrum, they have been allowing opponents to march up the field at an alarming rate, giving up 1551 Run Metres per game, 2nd most in the NRL to the Rabbitohs in 2025. This also coincides with 34.4 tackles per game Inside 20m for their opponents which has led them to be the 13th ranked team in Points Conceded to start the season.
My expectation here is that the Titans will once again allow their opponent almost free reign working out of their own end. As long as the Raiders don’t beat themselves (as they are sometimes prone to do) with handling errors and silly penalties then they will likely be in scoring position for most of the contest.
Take the Raiders to cover the short line and go Over their team total. Hudson Young is a good pick for tryscorer, he has 5 for the season so far and lines up against a feeble right side defence.
- Canberra are 4-2 ATS in 2025 with all 5 Titans games being decided by 13+ points.
- Canberra are 3rd in scoring this season averaging 28 pts per game.
- Hudson Young has scored 5 tries in 6 games so far this season.
- 5 of the 7 tries the Titans allowed last weekend were down their right side.
Head to Head
Canberra have a dominant head to head record vs Gold Coast. They have won 8 of the last 9 matchups including the last 4 in a row. Last year’s game finished in a 1 point thriller at GIO Stadium.
The Under hit in the single game last season as well as in 5 of 9. The Winning Margin in the last 4 games has been 1-12 but the 5 prior were all 13+.

The Titans fell to their second straight loss and a 2-3 record thus far in the 2025 season with a demoralising 38-16 defeat at the hands of the Dragons last weekend.
Gold Coast were outplayed from post to pillar with St George gaining the upper hand early and never releasing. The Titans allowed their opponent to gain 1616 Run Metres with a 57% territory share and 55% possession split.
Whilst Gold Coast still had 39 tackles in their opposition 20m zone they once again failed to capitalise on their chances, a theme that has been consistent in all their losses so far this year. David Fifita topped the run metres for all Titans forwards but many of those came once the game was already over.

Canberra had no trouble disposing of the Parramatta Eels last weekend in Darwin, winning the game 50-12. Scoring in the 7th minute, the Raiders continued to heap the tries on with 7 in total being scored across the 80 minutes.
It was both the Raiders highest scoring game and largest winning margin since their 56-10 win over the Tigers back on the 4th September 2022. Despite scoring 7 tries and starting each time back in their own half, they dominated the territory 55%-45% with 1638 run metres on the day.
Tom Starling had 35 tackles, 2 line break assists and 1 try assist in the game and was backed up by a bunch of players, 10 in fact, who all ran for 100+ metres.
