Season Highlight five was a great night for all Titans members and fans when they ran out 34-14 victors over the Parramatta Eels at Cbus Super Stadium in Round 20.
The night started perfectly for the home side when Konrad Hurrell scored his first try for the club in just the sixth minute of play. The Tongan-born wrecking-ball stepped two and carried over three defenders on his way to the try-line.
Winger Anthony Don crossed in the 12th minute untouched and then Chris McQueen registered his first of the night just six minutes later.
Eels back rower Kenny Edwards opened their account just before the half-time break and then Ash Taylor slotted a penalty as the siren sounded, giving the home side a 16-4 lead at the 40-minute mark.
Bevan French closed the gap again to put the Eels within striking distance but then Nene McDonald scored, followed by McQueen who crossed for his first career double, to put the match beyond doubt.
Halfback Jeff Robson scored a consolation try in the 75th minute but that was cancelled out, almost instantly, when Taylor took an intercept on the 45m mark and went on to score under the posts untouched. He converted his own try, giving the side a 34-14 victory.
