Key three: Lofi climbs to the top of the tree as Titans make it three straight
A big crowd and a big result in terms of the Titans season.
16,670 piled into Cbus Super Stadium to watch the Gold Coast side make it three wins on the trot as the club mounts a late season charge.
While there was plenty to like in attack, the Titans were again solid in defence keeping Parramatta to just 16 points.
Let's look at the key three that we've picked out of tonight's 24 to 16 win.
Raise the bat for 50, JC
On the June 8 2021, Jayden Campbell became Titan #165. Fast forward to July 13 2024, and the young Titans playmaker now has 50 NRL games under his belt.
Back from injury tonight, the five-eighth was again one of the Titans best.
After playing the majority of his 50 at fullback, he again has shown that his combination with Kieran Foran in the halves is one of great potential.
While it's been 50 games of highlights with the ball in hand, we've instead decided to celebrate JC by picking out his defence.

Alofiana is top of the tree
If he keeps going, Alofiana Khan-Pereira will be nicknamed “four and twenty” – the meat pie specialist.
The speedster has an unbelievable ability to find a try, so much so that he has now jumped to the top of the NRL’s try scorer list for season 2024.
AKP is looking dangerous
Off the back of some lovely backline movement, Khan-Pereira had two in the first half to give the Titans the jump against the Eels.
The 22-year-old now has 16 tries from 13 games, moving two clear from Bronco Deine Mariner in second who has played two more games than the Titan.
AKP goes in again
Lofi loves playing the Eels, having scored at least a double in all three games that he’s played against the Western-Sydney boys.
Not done yet in season 2024
