Penrith Panthers 36 defeated Gold Coast Titans 22 By Peter Badel, Sunday Mail - MEMO: John Cartwright. Don't buy a lottery ticket any time soon. If the Titans miss the finals this season, blame it primarily on luck, or a lack of it. The Gold Coast have had many things this season – hunger, desire, pointscoring class and defensive mongrel.
