Gold Coast Titans vs Melbourne Storm30' Chris Randall on report

It was for a nasty high shot on Reimis Smith.

He could be in trouble there.

27' The Storm are on fire!

Oh that is magical - absolutely magical from the Storm!

Quick hands to the left involving Shawn Blore, Reimis Smith and then the inside ball to Papenhuyzen, who raced over untouched.

A flurry of tries for the Storm has taken the game away from the hosts as quickly as you like.

The kick is good.

It's 16-6.

25' Storm hit the front!

Will Warbrick finished things off in the corner, but that was poor defence from the Titans.

The Storm did not disguise the short-side attack move, and yet the Titans simply didn't move their players over to that side.

The Storm had a three on two, it was as simple as that.

A well-worked move off the scrum.

The kick misses from the sideline and it's 10-6 to the Storm.

21' Milestone man Munster gets the leveller!

Lovely, slick hands from the Storm down the left side.

Hughes took the ball to the line, Munster got it off to Shawn Blore, Blore was tackled but still managed to flick the ball to Ryan Papenhuyzen, who unselfishly flicked the ball back to Munster, who scooted over to score.

Lovely work from the Storm.

The kick is good and it's 6-6.

18' Titans strike first!

It's the Titans who draw first blood and it's the veteran Kieran Foran who does it all by himself!

He's picked the ball up 20 metres out from the line, showed one dummy, darted inside, thrown another dummy, and then bustled over the line!

Ordinary defence from the Storm's middle forwards, nobody laid a glove on him.

The kick is successful!

Titans lead 6-0.

Four runs for 29 metres so far for the fullback

15' Tanah Boyd off the field

Tanah Boyd is off the field with an arm injury, Fox Sports are reporting.

It was initially thought he was undergoing an HIA, but if it's an injury to the arm that might be more concerning regarding his potential return.

That's a big blow for the Titans - and not just for his goalkicking.

10' Titans miss a gimmie penalty!

Interesting, ruck interference against Harry Grant.

OH MY GOODNESS! HE'S MISSED IT!

Brian Kelly from 15 metres out, just to the left of the uprights.

He could have thrown it over, but he can't kick it and it remains 0-0.

8' Storm hit the front! But it's ruled out for obstruction

Oh that was good. That was very, very good from Jahrome Hughes.

The running half got through the line after a right-foot step.

He kicks the ball delicately through as he's smashed by a Titan  defender and Eliesa Katoa dives over to score.

But we're going to come back for the slightest of obstructions against milestone man Christian Welch, who stopped in the line and kinda-half distracted the Titans player from making the tackle - although he was never a chance to make it anyway.

A shame for that to have been chalked off - it was a sensational try.

1' We're underway at Robina

The Storm are getting first use of the ball as the Titans kick off.

And the Storm move the ball to the right on a carpet of a pitch at Robina Stadium.

Late change for the Storm

Home grown Victorian Sua Fa'alogo will run on to the field as part of the starting 13 for the first time since last season in place of Xavier Coates, who is injured.

Meanwhile, Josiah Pahulu will start at prop, the 20-year-old making his fifth appearance since making his debut in Round 5.

Joe Stimson has been moved to the bench.

Both at-doubt players, Phil Sami and Harley Smith-Shields, have been cleared to start.

200 for Cameron Munster, 150 for Christian Welch

Two big milestones for two of the Storm's modern favourites.

Cameron Munster will play his 200th game for the Storm tonight back in his home state of Queensland - albeit 700km south of Rockhampton.

Meanwhile, fellow Queenslander Christian Welch will also bring up a milestone appearance with his 150th for the Storm.

Two great servants for Queensland's favourite satellite club, bringing up their milestone games on Maroon soil.

Time to head to the Gold Coast

It's not quite the sunny paradise it usually is today, but we're headed to the Gold Coast next, where the Storm will take on the Titans.

May the fourth be with us all

Good Afternoon Simon. Been a long time my friend. The Princess says hi. And as always may the Force be with you.

Key Event

Full time: Bulldogs beat 11-man Tigers 22-14
(AAP)

The Tigers led 14-6 at halftime, but in the second half it was only one-way traffic.

Viliami Kikau was immense for the Bulldogs as they scored 16 unanswered points in the second term off the back of the bye, as the Bulldogs complete their fourth win in their last six matches.

The Tigers will be kicking themselves for letting that lead slip, as well as ruing their lack of discipline in the second half that saw them reduced to 11 men, as well as being lucky not to lose another in Aidan Sezer for a blatant hip drop.

Plenty for the Tigers to keep working on.

78' The Bulldogs put a bow on it!

Or do they?

Kurt Mann cuts back off his right foot and scoots through the sparsely-populated Tigers backline.

But there was obstruction I think, and the try is chalked off.

Key Event

74' BIG SCRAP!

They all pile in to each other on the sideline!

But that happened before the all-in.

He has been sent for dissent, so unrelated really to what followed.

Bateman was furious that a penalty went against the Tigers, and then there was a huge blow up between Alex Seyfarth and Viliami Kikau.

Reed Mahoney came in as the third man and appeared to throw a hand to the face of Seyfarth.

The Tigers are down to 11!

Should the Dogs have at least lost Mahoney as well? Probably.

It's all getting a bit heated and a bit out of control out there at the minute.

66' John Bateman is getting a talking to

John Bateman has been a bit silly there, pulling back Reed Mahoney off the ball.

The Tigers do feel hard done by though as Crichton delivered a really late hit on Aidan Sezer that went unpunished despite happening under the nose of the referee.

The Tigers are upset, they let Casey Badger know and she tells Bateman to control his teammates a bit better.

60' Bulldogs dominating this second half

The Dogs have had 73 per cent possession in the second half, completed 10/10, and outscored the Tigers 14-0.

It's been a decent 20 minutes for the home side.
