Titans face Raiders in Round 9 with Hale's milestone; Dodd promoted to start. Titans show strong form, Raiders dominant in previous match.
The opening match of Round 9 should be a cracker, with second-placed Gold Coast hosting fourth-placed Canberra.
The Titans flexed their muscle last round with a 28-20 win over the Broncos, while the Raiders produced one of their most dominant performances in club history by beating the Bulldogs 48-4.
Gold Coast's win over Brisbane showcased the balance that has made them such a dangerous side this season. Their forward pack laid the platform, while their outside backs capitalised on opportunities whenever the Broncos' defensive line fractured. The Titans consistently find points through multiple avenues, making them one of the competition's most complete attacking teams.
