It would be easy to call them the Steven Bradbury of the NRL finals but Gold Coast have earned their playoff berth in style.
Needing the Raiders and Sharks to lose for them to have a shot, the Titans still needed to win by 11 against the Warriors but not only did that but thrashed their opponents by 44 on Sunday to claim eighth spot.
The season is now over for eight teams but for the other half of the competition, it's a whole new ball game in the finals leading up to the premiership decider on October 3.
