The Gold Coast Titans got their Nines campaign off on the right foot, coming from behind to beat the Canberra Raiders 27-10.
Raiders winger Matthew Timoko scored twice in the first half but the Titans didn’t flinch, with tries to Greg Leleisiuao, Michael Gordon and Anthony Don setting up a 17-10 half-time lead.
The margin swelled to 27-10 with a pair of tries to off-season recruit Jonus Pearson and the Titans kept their opponents at arm’s length over the closing minutes for a confidence-boosting victory.
