Titans in limbo after Cowboys victory

The Titans will have to hope the Raiders can beat the Tigers on the road after the Cowboys consolidated their spot in the top four with a 32-16 win in Townsville.

Gold Coast, however, are sweating on Sunday's match between the Wests Tigers and Canberra to know if they will reach the finals for the first time since 2010.

A win for the Tigers at Leichhardt would enable them to leapfrog the Titans into eighth spot.

Just like last weekend against Penrith, the Titans made life hard for themselves with a slow start to the match.

The Cowboys opened the scoring through Justin O'Neill in the fifth minute when he out-jumped Josh Hoffman to claim a Lachlan Coote kick.

Jarryd Hayne, playing his second match at fullback for the Titans, then came up with a crucial error to allow the Cowboys to extend their lead.

The two-time Dally M medallist appeared to have defused a Cowboys attack but spilt a grubber and Antonio Winterstein pounced to open up a 12-0 lead midway through the half.

It was a costly error by Hayne, who endured a torrid night in the No.1 jersey.

While their superstar recruit wasn't firing, the Titans resisted a wave of Cowboys pressure and managed to get themselves back into the contest by half-time.

Winger David Mead, who sat out most of the first half undergoing a head-injury assessment after an early collision with Kane Linnett, snared a Nathan Friend crossfield kick to put the visitors on the board in the 32nd minute and ensure the margin was just six points at the break.

The Cowboys came out firing in the second half and extended their lead to 20-6 through a try to Gavin Cooper and a Johnathan Thurston penalty goal.

Ryan James' 11th try of the season in the 57th minute gave the Titans hope of securing the win but then Cowboys prop James Tamou's try put the hosts out beyond two converted tries again.

However, the Titans just refused to lie down, with Konrad Hurrell running 88 metres after an intercept in the 71st minute to give the visitors hope.

A late injury scare to Cowboys captain Thurston threatened to ruin the premiers' night but the Queensland and Australian star recovered to set up Cooper for the final try of the match.
