Titans fans will be hoping for two Queensland victories in Sunday's NRLW double header at Cbus Super Stadium, with the two wins set to guarantee the Gold Coast a spot in this year's finals series.
In an exciting weekend of footy for the whole family, the Cowboys will play their second game at Cbus Super Stadium after first visiting in Round 1, playing host to the Canberra Raiders in an all-important game for the Titans' finals chance.
With the Queensland side featuring the likes of Origin stars Kirra Dibb, Tallisha Harden and Emma Manzelmann, they'll face off against the fifth-placed Raiders who boast former Titans Api Nicholls and Madison Bartlett as they aim to snap a two-game losing streak.
Kicking off at 11.30am ahead of the home side in action against Parramatta, star fullback Evania Pelite is excited to see the Cowboys in action in the double header at Cbus Super Stadium.
"Any opportunity to support the Queensland sides is nice, but that's going to be a really important game leading into our game against the Raiders next week," she said.
"It would be nice to get the win this weekend so we can have a little bit more comfort leading into our final game in Canberra, but we can only focus on the game ahead which is against the Eels this Sunday."

10th Position
Venue: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
The Gold Coast No. 1 is expecting the opposition to come out firing for their clashing following at 1.30pm, especially with the return of International forward Kennedy Cherrington, who has missed the past four matches due to suspension.
"That was disappointing for her, but she's going to be a huge boost for the Eels," Pelite said.
"She's that person that you love to have on your team but hate to play against.
"She's got that real mongrel attitude and I know our middles are going to have a job to do against her this weekend."
Depending on the results of the Broncos' clash against the Tigers and how the Raiders finish against North Queensland, a win could guarantee the Titans a finals berth, or at the very least put them in the box seat for their final game of the season next Sunday.
