The Gold Coast Titans secured a 26-12 pre-season win over the Dolphins, though the victory was marred by an injury to veteran playmaker Kieran Foran. Foran sustained an arm injury during a tackle, raising concerns of a possible biceps tear. Although initial assessments revealed some range of motion, the club indicated it was too soon to determine the exact nature of the injury.
Before the match began, Foran was shifted to the interchange bench to accommodate Jayden Campbell. In addition to Foran, Titans prop Josiah Pahulu suffered a concussion, and Dolphins centre Jack Bostock left the field with a knee issue during play.
The Titans started strong with Keano Kini scoring first, followed by a try from AJ Brimson. The Dolphins struck back with a try from Mark Nicholls but went into halftime trailing 12-6. The second half saw continued scoring as Sam Verrills assisted Beau Fermor, keeping the game competitive. Despite a brief scare when Bostock limped off, Nicholls managed to score again, concluding the match with a display of resilient plays from both teams.
