Leichhardt Oval is a ground filled with history, memories and success for the Tigers... but not when the Titans have come to visit.
The spiritual home for the Balmain connection of the joint-venture, the 89-year venue has been a happy hunting ground for the Gold Coast, winning all but one of their previous clashes there - last knocking over the home side in Round 16, 2018.
Titans 30 - Tigers 12
In fact, the Wests Tigers are the team the Titans have had the most success against since joining the NRL in 2007; with a 63 percent success rate against their combatants.
Winning eight of the past 10 matches against the merger including last year's gritty 8-6 contest at Cbus Super Stadium, the Titans will be primed to continue revelling in success, particularly with the Tigers having won only two of their past seven games at Leichhardt.
