Sunday session: Knights v Warriors; Douehi field goal sinks Titans

68th min: A successful captain's challenge for the Warriors, with Watene-Zelezniak tackled high after he's knocked on an attempt to bring down a high kick. They opt to take a penalty goal attempt and Boyd slots it for 14-14. 

56th min: The Knight edge further in front, kicking their first goal of the day with Gagai slotting a penalty goal for a 14-12 lead. The side took the points on offer after Egan was penalised for being off side. 

50th min: After they get a penalty back of their own, it doesn't take long for the Warriors to strike, with a barnstorming Demitric Vaimauga running over to score. Boyd slots it and it's 12-12.  

HIA update - 49th min: Taine Tuaupiki comes off after intervention from the independent doctor for a Cat 2. 

47th min: The Warriors withstand plenty of early pressure on their own line after giving up a penalty after been deemed to have stripped the ball with more than two in the tackle and some errors.

Halftime: The home side have scored three tries to one for a 12-6 lead going into the break. The Warriors had the run of play early, but after the call of no try to Egan, the momentum swung to the home side. However, they have been forced to score most of their tries out by the sideline, meaning conversions have been hard to come by. A big effort from a team who had a virus go through the squad this week. A the break, the Warriors have had 52 percent of the possession with a 16/21 completion rate, compared to 15/20 to the Knights. 

39th min: Tanner Stowers-Smith is put on report for a dangerous tackle. 

38th min: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak tiptoes down the sideline after catching a quick-fire pass from Taine Tuaupiki and gets it down, but the pass is called forward and the Knights hold on. 

31st min: And a third for the home side - again going out to their left. This time it's Marzhew who scores after some quick passing from the inside out and he's unmarked on his way in. Gagai also can't get the conversion from the sideline and it remains 12-6. The Knights have been making good progress attacking through their left side and have also left a few tries out there as well with some breaks through the defence. 

26th min: Dane Gagai gets another try for Newcastle, with an effort from his winger Marzhew to pop a pass inside. He was being pushed out towards the sideline by Kurt Capewell, who is playing centre, but ducked his way back inside. While he landed on the ground, his arm wioth the ball didn't touch the ground and the referee called play on as he popped it back to his fullback. Hastings can't convert this one from the left sideline either, so it's 8-6 to the Knights. 

22nd min: The Knights strike back with Fletcher Hunt latching onto a high Jack Cogger kick batted back from a high-flying Dom Young. Jackson Hastings can't convert and it's 6-4. 

18th min: The Bunker overrules a try to Egan, with decision of a double movement made as his arm bounces as he attempted to get his arm down over the line. Score remains 6-0. 

12th min: Knights hooker Phoenix Crossland is put on report for a hip drop on Wayde Egan. 

8th min: Early 6-0 lead for the Warriors with Adam Pompey running through on a Tanah Boyd kick into the in goal. 

3rd min: Warriors are let off the hook early, with a pass from fullback Dane Gagai out to his winger Greg Marzhew with the tryline begging is put down. 

Kick off: The Knights get first use of the ball at home.

Knights: In the game day update, Brodie Jones comes out of the side due to illness. Jermaine McEwen takes his place in the second-row and Tom Cant joins the interchange bench. Earlier, Jones was named to start in the back row after Dylan Lucas suffered a foot injury, with Tyson Gamble added to the bench as a result. Tyson Frizell is also set to come off the interchange, with Phoenix Crossland to start at lock and Jayden Brailey at hooker. After a late reshuffle last week, Dane Gagai will start at fullback and Fletcher Hunt will play centre. 

Warriors: Kurt Capewell is set to make his return from Origin duties in the centres, replacing the injured Rocco Berry (shoulder). Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad remains at least another week away in his return from injury and Taine Tuaupiki will again start at fullback. No late changes. 

Wests Tigers v Titans at Leichhardt Oval

Post match

Wests Tigers 

Titans

Fulltime: Exhalation for the Tigers and heartbreak for the Titans with Douehi kicking his side to a one-point 21-20 win. Both sides played with plenty of heart, but also made their fair share of errors, losing direction for patches of the game, contributing to seesawing scoreline. However, the Tigers, lifted by their 16,073 strong home crowd, were able to come through in the end and capitalise on Titans errors, with back-to-back penalty goals contributing to their total. 

80th min: Doueihi slots a field goal in the final minute of the match and the home crowd go wild as they get the lead 21-20. 

77th min: The Tigers convert their extended run of possession into points, with Skelton getting over for his second try, just inside the left touchline. The Titans were forced to do a mountain of defence, eventually succumbing on their edge. Doueihi misses the difficult attempt and it's 20-20. 

66th min: End-to-end football that ends with the Titans regaining the lead with a great run to the line from Brimson. The Tigers turned the ball over when they were attacking their line, with Sami scooping up the ball to make a break with Brimson in support. The Tigers gave their opposition another leg up with a six-again and Brimson didn't need any more encouragement, stepping his way over the line. Campbell converts and it's 20-16 to the Titans. 

61st min: Back to back penalty goals from Koroisau and the Tigers are in front again after the Titans give up a scrum infringement penalty with Brimson too slow to back into the scrum. Tigers lead 16-14. 

58th min: Scores are level at 14-14 with Koroisau slotting a penalty goal from in front after the Titans were penalised for a high tackle on Sunia Turuva. 

53rd min: Titans are let off the hooker despite AJ Brimson being unable to clean up a kick up the back, with the Bunker confirming the on-field ruling from referee Belinda Sharpe that the ball was also knock on by Taylan May. The Tigers get a scrum, but the Titans hold them out after Tigers make another error.

45th min: Errors aplenty from both sides to start the second half, with the Tigers knocking on from the kick-off, but the Titans unable to capitalise in any way, with errors of their own, including throwing a pass over the sideline. 

Halftime: The Titans take a slender 14-12 lead into the break and have score three tries to two, but only one converted. It was an exciting end to the first half, with the Tigers making a break through the middle of the field and were on track to score, only to throw a forward pass to lose their advantage. Titans winger De Groot has two tries at the break. The stats at the break have possession in favour of the Titans 56 percent, while the completion rate is 15/21 for the Titans and 15/20 for the Tigers. Errors are eight for the Tigers and five for the Titans, while the Gold Coast have conceded more penalties, giving up four to two. 

Injury update - after coming off the field with a suspected lateral ligament injury, Fa'asuamaleaui was seen on the sideline on the bike, but it is unlikely he will return. 

34th min: Jayden Campbell kicks out to his right winger and De Groot does the rest, catching the ball and going over for his second. Campbell converts his first of the day and the Titans have the lead again 14-12. 

32nd min: The visitors get one back, with Phil Sami flying over on the left-hand side after a Tigers error. Campbell can't convert and it remains a 12-8 scoreline. 

25th min - injury update - Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui has gone up the tunnel with a reported knee injury.

24th min: The Tigers go on the front foot from the penalty, flying out to their left side, with Taylan May getting a ball out to his winger Jeral Skelton who charges over De Groot to score in the far corner. Doueihi swings over the conversion again from much the same place for a 12-4 lead.  

23rd min: The Titans lose their captain's challenge, with the on-field decision of a penalty against Chris Randall for obstruction standing.

13th min: Wests Tigers strike back in their left corner, with Taylan May powering over for his first try in his NRL return. It was a family affair, with brother Terrell May passing out from the middle to his centre. Adam Doueihi swings over the conversion and the home side lead 6-4. 

4th min: The Gold Coast get on the board first with Jaylan De Groot over in the right corner, running onto a nice Jayden Campbell long pass. Campbell misses the conversion and it's 4-0. 

Kick off: Titans have the first use of the ball in a must-win game for the visitors.
