Affiliate wrap: Kini fires as Seagulls prevail in first Titans showdown
Keano Kini was the star of the show for the Seagulls as they dominated the Jets 38-12 in the first clash between Ipswich and Tweed since the pair became the two Titans affiliates.
In a curtain-raiser to the Gold Coast's clash against Manly on Saturday night, the whiz kid was electrifying in his first Cup game of 2024; setting up two tries and four line breaks alongside his 236 running metres which included a whopping 10 tackle busts.
The 20-year-old also found the white stripe in the 49th minute as his side led from start to finish at Cbus Super Stadium.

In a game that featured nine full-time Titans, Oskar Bryant also impressed at dummy-half with an early four-pointer, before setting up another try as well as adding a line break to his name in his first chance to start in 2024.
Despite being on the wrong end of the scoreline, Aaron Schoupp was a metre-eater for the Jets, topping the overall run metres tally with 256 alongside a handy four-pointer for himself.
They'll now have a bye this week, with Tweed to host the Tigers on Saturday night.
