Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans prediction
Neither the Dolphins nor the Gold Coast Titans backline covered themselves in glory across the previous weekend with the two combining to give up 90 points in total. Dolphins fell 30-40 to South Sydney Rabbitohs, whilst the Titans were thrashed 50-10 by an impressive looking Cronulla Sharks. Whilst both offenses are not as powerful, you’d expect them to be afforded more joy than last weekend.
The result of this contest could go in either direction. Gold Coast Titans were expected to struggle again this year, whilst there was hope the Dolphins could take a step forward. Either way, it’s well worth backing over 56.5 total points to be scored over the course of 80 minutes. with two leaky defences set to be on show.
Dolphins vs Gold Coast Titans tip: Over 56.5 total points
