Why Bet On The Titans at +309

The Titans are sitting in 15th place in the NRL standings with 46 points scored and 129 points allowed defensively (-83), but they got their first win of the season by getting past the Wests Tigers 28-23 in a hard-fought affair. Kevin Proctor, Anthony Don, Keegan Hipgrave, Brian Kelly and Philip Sami all scored on tries while Ashley Taylor went 4-for 5 on conversions.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

The Gold Coast Titans have lost 12 of their 14 away games since the start of 2019 and they’re on the road in this Round 5 matchup. Not only that, the Titans have been absolutely abysmal defensively in giving up a whopping 129 points to rank second in most points allowed heading into Round 5.  Gold Coast may have gotten a big upset win in Round 4, but their happiness will be short-lived as they fall in a thriller in this Round 5 clash.
