The Gold Coast Titans are riding a wave of momentum right now but it is about to crash into shore and dissipate leaving them stranded. Any more puns about a coastline and i’ll be banned from writing. But in all honesty their defence has stunk all year and coming up against a Manly attack boasting Tom Trbojevic in his natural fullback role, they won’t stand a chance.

Recency bias will tell you that the Titans have fixed their defence, allowing only 14 points per game to their opposition over the last 4 but the 29.3 points per game in the previous 12 games is still there hiding somewhere. Manly have a much better attack than any of the teams the Titans faced through their win streak and have the defence to back things up if and when momentum swings the other way.

Manly are a very strong home team, expect them to put the game away early and the Gold Coast to fade in the second half. 

  • Manly are 12-5 at 4 Pines Park over the past 2 seasons, only 2 of those losses had Tom Trbojevic in the lineup. 
  • Half of the Titans losses this year have been by 13+ points
  • Gold Coast have conceded the 4th most Points, 5th most Run Metres and 3rd most Linebreaks per game, so far this season
  • Tom Trbojevic has scored 11 tries in 8 games against the Titans including two hattricks and 2 doubles.

Head to Head 


Since the beginning of the 2019 season these two teams have met on 9 occasions with Manly holding a narrow 5-4 lead in the head to head. The most recent matchup was in Round 7 earlier this year which the Sea Eagles won 34-30. Gold Coast coverd as 9.5 point underdogs.

The Titans are 5-4 ATS across the last 9 games with the Game Total trending 6-3 to the Over. 

The Winning Margin has been 13+ in this matchup in 7 of the last 9 contests.

Manly were back to their attacking best last weekend against the Knights with Tommy Turbo back in the lineup. Trbojevic had a try, 2 Try assists as well as 5 Linebreak assists in the game with the trend of Manly’s win percentage with him on the park held true. 

The Sea Eagles restricted their opponents to only 1394 Run Metres in the game, allowing only 2 Linebreaks and 26 Tackle busts in the 80 minutes. 

Manly Sea Eagles Team News


Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic have both been named to back up from Origin. They will need to pass fitness tests but given Trbojevic’s amount of game time he is expected to play. Jamie Humphreys drops to the reserves with Nathan Brown moving back to prop. 

Ben Trbojevic is back from concussion protocols. He has been named on the interchange with Karl Lawton keeping his spot in the backrow.

Don’t look now but the Titans are on a 3 game win streak with victories over the Warriors, Sharks and Eels in consecutive games. 

They led 18-6 at the half against Parramatta last weekend and were able to hold on against their fast finishing opponents, something that has eluded them in many games over the past few seasons. 

The Titans had only 45% of the ball and 32% of the Territory in that game but were often helped by penalties from their opposition with 5 Linebreaks also contributing to scoring opportunities. Jayden Campbell has been excelling in his role as five-eighth.

Mo Fotuaika is named to back up from Origin and like many others will need to pass a fitness test to play. AJ Brimson was brought off in the second half of last weekend’s game and is now listed in the reserves. Keano Kini is the new fullback.
