Titans assistant coach Brett White has expressed his support for head coach Jim Lenihan's mission to prevent the Gold Coast team from being intimidated by other NRL teams.

This comes after a resilient performance against the Warriors, where the Titans played the majority of the game with only 12 players following Moe Fotuaika's red card for an accidental high tackle.

Despite the disadvantage, the interim head coach commended his team's determination and near-success in holding off their opponents, emphasizing the importance of developing a tougher identity as a football team.

The trio all lost their respective matches by a try, with the refereeing blunders possible game-changers.

NRL head of football competitions Graham Annesley admitted on Monday that a Jack Wighton pass which led to a try for Sebastian Kris early in the second half of their 22-18 win over the Tigers was clearly forward.

The Penrith Panthers website, penrithpanthers.com.au, has reported that Thursday night's upcoming match against the Sea Eagles will mark the beginning of a crucial two weeks for Manly.

The Sea Eagles missed a golden opportunity to enter the top eight last week when they suffered a 26-16 defeat to the Roosters, despite dominating possession and playing against a team with a player disadvantage for the final 18 minutes.

Although they are only one point behind the eighth-placed Rabbitohs heading into Round 24, Manly will likely need to win both of their next two games against the ladder-leading Panthers and the third-ranked Warriors to have a chance of advancing beyond the regular season.
