Ipswich Jets have broken a 582-day drought with their first win since Round 18, 2022; thanks to the efforts of seven Titans who played a big role in their defeat of the Western Clydesdales.
Taking command of the game early in the seven tries to three contest, five Gold Coast representatives found the line throughout the 80 minutes with Ryan Foran, Ken Maumalo, Jaylan De Groot, Joe Stimson and Harley Smith-Shields all scoring four-pointers in the 36-16 showing.

Train-and-trialist Kyle Foxwell also continued to impress with two tries, two try assists, two line breaks and two line break assists in a herculean effort as the chief playmaker.
