Gold Coast Titans Form - Upturn In Fortunes
The Titans are humming with three wins from their last five games, climbing from 16th on the ladder to 13th.
However, with all six of their remaining games coming against top eight teams, they've left their run too late to seriously challenge for the finals - but they can be a nuisance for those sides looking to secure September footy.
After stunning Penrith, the Titans went down to the Dogs and Storm, but have bounced back with some sparkling attack to knock off the Sea Eagles and Dragons, scoring 38 points in both wins.
Jayden Campbell scored 18 of those points last week in the 38-18 victory over the Dragons on the road.

Difficult little period for the Warriors at the moment as they look to re-establish their top four status and regenerate some momentum heading into the finals.
It's been a tough season with injuries, especially in the halves - and the Warriors are starting to look a little flat and burned out coming into the business end of the season.
The Wahs were out-enthused by the Dogs last week at Accor, going down 18-0 before scoring a late try.
That was their fourth loss in seven games after losing by exactly two points to the Dolphins, Sharks & Panthers.
