NRL live updates: Titans vs Warriors, Panthers vs Raiders, Broncos vs Knights — blog and scores

The Titans, trailing by 20 points, have the first use of the footy in the second half.

It is an incident-free set from the home side, before kicking clear.

Panthers

Blaize Talagi was dropped from the side this week, with Jack Cogger to start at five-eighth.

Dylan Edwards remains on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, meaning Jaxen Edgar starts at fullback.

Raiders

Simi Sasagi has dropped out of the team due to a hamstring issue. Seb Kris will start at centre and Savelio Tamale is elevated to the bench.

Owen Pattie returns from suspension and will start at hooker, with Tom Starling reverting to the bench.

The Sydney Roosters have scored seven tries to earn a 30-point win over the St George Illawarra Dragons.

Jessica Sergis scored a hat-trick for the Chooks in the 38-8 triumph.

The Roosters provisionally move to the top of the NRL ladder, with a perfect record of 5-0 to start the season.

The Brisbane Broncos, also unbeaten, can retake the top position with a win tomorrow over the Canterbury Bulldogs.

That was a clinical performance from the New Zealand Warriors.

The visitors scored five tries in the first half to earn a 26-6 lead.

The Titans struggled to hold onto possession, while six-again restarts hurt them dearly.

A very poor error from the Titans has been punished.

Gold Coast second rower Arama Hau flat-out dropped the footy in a play-the-ball on his goal-line.

From the following set, halfback Te Maire Martin threw a dummy, then gave a pop pass to second rower Jacob Laban, who burst through a hole in the defence.

The Gold Coast are just holding on at the moment.

They need half-time.

Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad charged over the line, but was held up by AJ Brimson.

A broken play from the Warriors has resulted in a try.

Attacking the goal-line, halfback Te Maire Martin ran the ball on the final tackle but was caught.

Martin then threw the ball in hope, like it was a basketball.

The Warriors pass twice to the left, and the ball ends up in the hands of lock Erin Clark.

The lock then kicks for the left corner — that was not in the game plan.

Left winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira leaps high and catches the Clark kick, then passes back inside to centre Leka Halasima for the try.

The Titans will be so disappointed by that.

Chanel Harris-Tavita converts the try.

The Titans needed to be the next to score, and they were.

Helped by a penalty that got them into attacking range, Arama Hau charged onto a short pass from Jayden Campbell and burst through a big hole to score.

Jayden Campbell converted the try from 17 metres out, and 15 metres in from the right touchline.

The Wahs are on fire.

Winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira was standing in the centre position and put on a wicked side-step to beat Titan Jojo Fifita.

Khan-Pereira ran 40 metres before passing inside to Chanel Harris-Tavita to score under the posts.

Harris-Tavita converts his own try.

Spare a thought for ABC Sport sideline eye Karina Brown, who does not have an umbrella.

Rain has started to fall at Robina, with the Warriors leading the Titans 8-0.

This is a hot start from the New Zealand Warriors.

Helped by a six-again restart, the Warriors were again able to march down the field and threaten the Gold Coast goal-line.

On the final play of the set, the Warriors shifted the ball through hands to the left, created the overlap, and former Titan Alofiana Khan-Pereira scored in the corner.

Chanel Harris-Tavita missed the conversion attempt from the left touchline.

Warriors 8

The Warriors are the first to score.

Helped by a penalty and a six-again restart, the Warriors were able to attack the goal-line of the Titans.

A nice shift to the right from the Warriors was finished off by winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak in the corner.

Warriors five-eighth Chanel Harris-Tavita was unsuccessful with the conversion attempt from the right touchline, striking the near post.

Titans 0

Warriors 4

The Warriors threatened to score first, when winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak intercepted a pass from his goal-line and looked to run the length of the field.

The Warriors’ flyer was chased down by an excellent cover tackle from Titans fullback Keano Kini.

With a retreating defence, the Warriors missed a chance to attack the goal-line with a knock-on from backrower Kurt Capewell.

The Warriors have the first use of the ball this afternoon.

The visitors are running to the right of your screen.

It is a solid set from the Warriors, crossing the halfway before kicking clear.

You can listen to the live ABC Sport call with commentator Brett Sprigg, expert analysis by Clinton Schifcofske, and Karina Brown on the sideline.

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has conceded his side will not be playing finals in 2026, with the club set to miss out for just the fourth time in its history.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins survived a scare to down the last-placed Dragons.
