Titans roar back to down Warriors

Story Added : 14th March 2010

An error-riddled Gold Coast Titans have somehow come from 18-6 down to beat the New Zealand Warriors 24-18 in their opening round NRL clash at Skilled Stadium.

A try right on half-time to Titans forward Anthony Laffranchi proved crucial, giving the Titans the impetus to come home with a wet sail in the second half despite completing only 26 of 46 sets overall.

Full-back Preston Campbell scored the winning try for the home side, in the right place at the right time to scoop up a Nathan Friend grubber behind the Warriors defence and dive over under the posts.

Hulking winger Manu Vatuvei earlier bagged a first-half double as the visitors streaked to a 12-point lead.
