Gold Coast Titans have taken another step towards securing their first NRL finals berth in six years with a comfortable 26-6 victory over last-placed Newcastle at Hunter Stadium.The Titans consolidated eighth spot on the ladder with two games to play, against Penrith (home) and North Queensland (away), while extending the Knights club-record losing streak to 16. The Knights, now without a win in 133 days, remain anchored at the bottom of the ladder and are certain to finish last for the second successive season.The Knights were always at long odds to end their four-month losing streak but their chances were not enhanced by the late withdrawal of Jarrod Mullen (knee) and Saone Matautia (concussion).The only concern for the Titans came when Jarryd Hayne was helped off the pitch in the 65th minute after taking a head knock in a tackle involving fellow Fiji international Jacob Saifiti. Hayne, who took no further part in the match, had, however, played a mostly supporting role in his third game back in the NRL, taking a back seat to his forwards who scored all four tries for the Titans. Titans coach Neil Henry believes Hayne will be :OK to face the Panthers next week.Titans co-captain Ryan James, a controversial inclusion, crashed over twice in the first 20 minutes as the visitors raced to an 18-0 lead. He was considered fortunate to have been on the field, having been found guilty of a grade two careless high tackle that broke Wests Tigers fullback James Tedescos jaw. The fiery front-rower was cleared to play after the judiciary panel downgraded his charge to grade one.Former Queensland utility forward Chris McQueen then scored in the 16th minute as the Titans threatened to hand the Knights another thrashing on home turf, but home winger Nathan Ross responded with a 90-metre intercept try in the 28th minute, cutting the deficit to 18-6 at halftime.Titans prop Luke Douglas burrowed over from a quick tap to score in the 50th minute, extending the visitors lead to 24-6, then former Knights halfback Tyrone Roberts added a penalty goal five minutes from fulltime.After missing the past two games because of a knee injury, Roberts returned against his old club in place of regular playmaker Ash Taylor, who was rested to recover from several niggles.Titans coach Neil Henry said his side should have won more easily after building an early lead, but Knights coach Nathan Brown was pleased with his teams response after conceding three soft early tries.Weve struggled, as the scoreboard suggests, this year with getting 13-plus people on the bus at the same time, Brown said.But the fifth highest-paid player by the Knights today was Tyrone Roberts, so that sums up the situation were in at the minute, and thats why we are sitting where we are sitting.
