Brian Kelly has scored a brilliant try from an offload, running straight through the Roosters defence.
An insane effort from Kelly after almost breaking his nose in this first half. A close up after the try revealed his nose has just been plugged up with gauze.
Jamal Fogarty gets the kick and we are all tied up 18-18. Ah finals footy, how sweet it is.
And the Titans have hit straight back!
Tino Fa’asuamaleaui managed to regather a kick from Jamal Fogarty to score the Titans second try of the day and keep them in the game.
Fogarty gets the much-needed extras and puts the Titans within just one converted try.
This is a gutsy effort from Gold Coast who are refusing to give up. Lots more minutes left in this game.
We are 18-12 in favour of the Roosters after 49 minutes.
The Roosters are over again, less than two minutes after coming back on for the second half.
A stellar tap on from James Tedesco put Daniel Tupou in the corner.
This time Adam Keighran gets the extras to extend the Roosters’ lead by two converted tries.
The score is now 18-6 to the tricolours after 43 minutes.
The Titans have come out firing for this do-or-die match and it’s good to see them stay within six heading into the second half.
It will be interesting to see if that final try from the Gold Coast ahead of the break is enough to shift the momentum.
Overall, it was hard to ignore just how much impact the return of Victor Radley had on this half.
I’m sure the Titans are wishing his suspension lasted just one week more right about now.

The Titans have hit back before halftime with Beau Fermor scoring off a Tyrone Peachey kick.
Jamal Fogarty failed was unable to convert the try - but the Titans are now back within six heading into the break.
It’s now 12-6 to the Roosters after 40 minutes.
Ahead of the try, Roosters hooker Sam Verrills was put on report for a high shot on Brian Kelly - which may see him in trouble with the judiciary.
Kelly was taken off the field shortly after the high hit with blood streaming from his nose. Ouch.
James Tedesco has scored his ninth try of the season off a silky pass from Victor Radley.
This time, Adam Keighran successfully makes the conversion to make it a ten-point lead for the Roosters.
The score sits at 12-2 after 32 minutes.
In frustrating scenes for Titans fans, an absolutely brilliant effort from David Fifita has been ruled a no try.
The bunker ruled Fifita was inside of the lead runner and gained an advantage by playing on.
One of the best no-tries we’ve seen so far in this final series. Take a look below.
And the Roosters have finally gone over for our first try of Saturday night.
Matthew Ikuvalu scored off from some nice passing play from James Tedesco to get his 13th try of the season.
Adam Keighran failed to get the extras with the score now 6-2 in favour of the tricolours.
The Titans have been handed an opportunity to level the scores after a so-called escort from Josh Morris.
The Roosters challenged the decision which failed to be overturned by the bunker.
It honestly did seem like Morris had eyes for the ball the entire time, so it’s a disappointing call for Roosters fans.
Jamal Fogarty takes the penalty kick and we’re now all tied up here 2-2.
