Unlike most teams in the bottom nine, the Titans have a lot to play for here. A win would mean climbing off the bottom of the ladder if the Knights were to lose against the Eels in the final game of the regular season. Additionally, warhorse Foran is calling time on his illustrious career, while coach Hasler is moving on. Playing at home, I'm expecting Gold Coast to get themselves up for this one. The Tigers have been playing well to finish off the season, but I just think the Titans will want this one more.
I'm backing the Titans as the slight underdogs and I'm also keen to go Under 53.5 in one of the biggest total points lines of the year. Obviously the expectation in a 'dead rubber' is for the defence to open up and plenty of points to be scored, but as mentioned, I believe the Titans will hold firm in this one and Under 53.5 points has landed in 17 of the last 18 meetings between the teams. Contrary to popular belief, it's not always a points-a-thon between these sides. Titans winger Phil Sami has been one of the form wingers in the competition over the last couple of months and has to be tipped for another four-pointer.
- Titans have won five of the last seven meetings between the teams
- Tigers haven't beat Titans at Cbus Super Stadium since 2017
- Under 53.5 points has landed in 17 of the last 18 encounters
- Tigers have seen Under 53.5 points in nine of their last 11 games
- Phil Sami has scored six tries in his last five games & seven tries in his last six appearances vs Tigers

Head To Head
The Titans have won five of the last seven games between the sides, but the Tigers have prevailed in the last two - including a most-recent 21-20 triumph in Round 20 at Leichhardt, with Adam Doueihi nailing a field goal in the 80th minute to hand his side a nail-biting win.
Gold Coast Titans Form Analysis
Nothing has really changed for the Titans this season and if Des Hasler can't turn this club around and give it the necessary steel and backbone, it's tough to see who can.
Gold Coast have been anchored to the bottom of the ladder since Round 13 and have managed just five wins from their 23 games.
The Titans showed some fight with a top four scalp over the Warriors and pushing the Panthers to golden point in Round 21 & 22, but they've tailed off and come into this clash on the back of five straight defeats.
Again, the Titans battled until the end last week, but couldn't reel in the Dolphins in a 36-30 defeat.

Wests Tigers Form Analysis
It's been a decently promising season for the Tigers, but a six-game losing streak midway through the year, which coincided with the Lachlan Galvin drama, has ultimately cost them a chance of challenging for the finals.
The arrival of Jarome Luai, Sunia Turuva, Taylan May and Terrell May has certainly added some much needed spark, leadership and quality to the side and Tigers' fans will be hopeful of more improvement in 2026.
The Tigers have won three of their last six games heading into the final round of the season, including big 13+ victories over the Bulldogs and Sea Eagles.
However, they appear to have run out of steam, giving up a sizeable lead to lose to the Cowboys at home before falling to minor premiers Canberra on the road last week.

Verdict
