Titans in huge win at home

-

THE jerseys might have been an eyesore, but at least the scoreline was a pleasing sight for the Titans as they clinched a 16-12 victory against the Warriors to end their yearlong winning drought at home.

Trailing 12-10 with 15 minutes to go last night, the Titans seemed down and out with million-dollar man Ash Taylor injured and taken from the field. But up stepped young halfback Jamal Fogarty.

A deft grubber kick into the in-goal was pounced on by young gun Beau Fermor — in just his second NRL game — to seal the win in the dying minutes of the game.

It was a gutsy effort by the home side despite an error-riddled game, with a busted Keegan Hipgrave also spurring on his teammates to victory.

Hipgrave came reeling out of a tackle in the 29th minute clutching his shoulder and continued to do so for a further 40 minutes before he was almost dragged from the field in protest.

In last night’s late game, the South Sydney Rabbitohs beat Wests Tigers 18-10 at Sydney’s Bankwest Stadium.
