TITANS GIVE EELS A FRIGHT

DAVID Fifita burst back to life but it wasn’t enough as Parramatta overcame the controversial sin-binning of Junior Paulo to escape with a 26–20 win against the Gold Coast Titans on Saturday night.

Fifita scored the try of the season as the Titans mounted a late comeback but ultimately slumped to their seventh straight loss to the Eels.

It looked like the electric Eels were on the way to producing a blowout when they bounced out to a 20-nil lead early in the second half.

But the Titans refused to go away and the sin-binning of Paulo, after a tackle on AJ Brimson, allowed Gold Coast to post a brace of tries and set up a grandstand finish.
