Gold Coast and Parramatta will feature in the final game of Magic Round on Sunday evening with both sides looking for some consistency after victories in Round 9.
The Titans posted an impressive upset win over the Sea Eagles last week with the likes of David Fifita and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui firing on all cylinders in a warning for the Eels, who had their own forwards dominating against the Knights.
The Eels had 12 of 17 players post more than 100 metres against the Knights last week in a promising performance without Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson.
Parramatta won both games between the two sides last season but only by four and six points respectively and this match is expected to be no different to finish Magic Round for a fourth year.
