Saturday, August 22, 3.00 PM, Round 15, Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, Gold Coast Titans take on Canberra Raiders NRL Match Fixture
Canberra is coming off a big win over Brisbane which saw them level with the Roosters on the ladder and now only sit outside the top four due to points differential. Gold Coast was in the game last week against Cronulla with the scores locked at 12-12 at halftime but lost their way after skipper Kevin Proctor was sent-off in the 55th minute after which the Sharks ran away with the game. Canberra needs to keep winning to stay in top-four contention, with the Gold Coast needing the win to stay out of wooden spoon territory.

The last time these two teams met the Raiders at home beat the Titans convincingly 24-6. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 24 matches played between the Titans and the Raiders split down the middle with twelve apiece, statistics suggest the match fixture will result in a rain of Raider tries!
Canberra Raiders for the win.
