The Canberra Raiders are set to take on the Gold Coast Titans in a fixture that has historically favored the Raiders, who boast six consecutive wins in this matchup. Both teams have faced recent struggles—Titans with inconsistency and the Raiders with halted momentum—but the Raiders' superior head-to-head record gives them the predicted edge. Expect a close game, with Beau Fermor (Titans) and Matt Timoko (Raiders) tipped as potential try scorers. Key team news includes AJ Brimson returning for the Titans and Simi Sasagi for the Raiders.

Titans vs Raiders Head To Head

Canberra have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last six meetings - including 30-20 and 40-24 victories in 2025.

Gold Coast Titans Form - Just 2 Wins

Really just more of the same for the Titans - they look decent in patches, but they just aren't close to top eight standard and have zero consistency.

Gold Coast have worked their way into 2026 with two wins from their last four games, but they were against the Dragons and Eels, so going to need to see more.

The Titans gave up a 22-0 half-time deficit to the Warriors in their last outing - they did well to come back in the second half to score 20 points, but they left themselves with too big a mountain to climb, going down 28-20.

Jayden Campbell and AJ Brimson remain the key to unlocking a Titans attack that is averaging just 21 points per game. Arama Hau continues to impress in the backrow.

Canberra Raiders Form - Momentum Halted

Obviously a disappointing start to the season for the Raiders after the high of last year's minor premiership.

I always thought their luck would start to even out and Canberra find themselves languishing in 14th spot on the ladder with a 3-5 record and averaging just 19 points per game, missing Jamal Fogarty's leadership and kicking game in the halves.

After back-to-back wins over Souths and Melbourne, it appeared as if the Green Machine were starting to build some momentum.

However, Ricky Stuart's side were blown off the park by the Tigers last week, going down 33-14 at Leichhardt.

Gold Coast Titans vs Canberra Raiders Team News

AJ Brimson returns to the centres for Gold Coast, pushing Jaylen de Groot to the interchange, while Chris Randall is also back at lock, with Cooper Bai going to the pine.

Big blow for Canberra as rising second-rower Noah Martin is out for an extended period following surgery on both ankles. Zac Hosking is also out with concussion, but Simi Sasagi makes a timely return from a hamstring problem to slot into the back row. Chevy Stewart is the new man on the bench.

Verdict

Another close game between these sides expected, with Canberra's recent H2H record giving them the edge. Timoko and Fermor backed for tries.
