Titans vs Rabbitohs Prediction
The Rabbitohs should win this and I still do not want to give away 8.5 points to get paid for it. Souths have been ordinary on the road all season and the Titans have nothing to lose at home, which is exactly how a favourite ends up scraping home.

Rabbitohs Have Won The Last Six Meetings On The Gold Coast. Titans Only Have To Stay Within 8.5 Points.
Souths are seventh with two rounds left and cannot afford a slip. The Gold Coast are sixteenth and have lost four in a row. On paper this is straightforward.
The problem with the paper version is the away record. Souths have won four away games all season, and that is not the profile of a side that wins comfortably in Queensland.
History says Souths win here anyway. They have taken the last six meetings between these two, but the most recent one at this ground came down to two points, and that is the version I expect again.
The risk is the Titans simply not turning up. They have been beaten by plenty more than once in the past month, and if that side shows up the handicap stops mattering by half time.
But I want the points and a quiet scoreboard. Souths win this without ever looking convincing, and the Gold Coast stay inside the line.
Titans vs Rabbitohs Tip
Rabbitohs by four on the Gold Coast, because Souths are the better team but have not been winning away from home convincingly all year.
Titans vs Rabbitohs Key Stats
POINTS FOR
GLD20
SOU27
Souths have the better attack, but they need to bring it on the road to justify laying this many points.
COMPLETION RATE
GLD76
SOU79
The Titans hand the ball back too often, which is how a close game slips away late rather than early.
LINE BREAKS

Souths break the line more often, and that is the difference between winning by four and winning by twelve.

Ben’s Verdict
A side chasing a finals spot on the road against a side with nothing left rarely turns into a procession. Souths get there, and the Titans hang around long enough to make it uncomfortable.
