With the adrenaline from a thrilling comeback win last week likely to still be swirling, the Dragons eye off a Titans side who were dealt a reality check by the Roosters in Round 5.

Two tries in the final three minutes saw the Dragons to a 20-16 win over the Wests Tigers, with Jamie Soward's charges overcoming a sluggish start to secure their second win of the campaign.

The Titans will be the third side currently in the top four that the Dragons have faced already this year, so they should be battle hardened. 

The Gold Coast meanwhile got an insight into the level they may need to get to if they are going to contend this season when they were overcome 30-8 by the Roosters.

While there were good patches from Karyn Murphy's side, they had no answer for what the Roosters brought through the middle part of the contest and had some worrying defensive lapses in the lead up to tries.

The head-to-head history is all about the Dragons, with three wins from three attempts against the Titans.
