Gold Coast Titans coach Justin Holbrook expressed his relief after his side snapped a five-game losing streak with a golden-point win over the Dragons.
The Titans are priced at 125/1 to win the 2022 NRL grand final and the dramatic win over the Dragons should give them a huge confidence boost.
Dramatic end to the game
Jamayne Isaako was the hero for the Titans as he scored a try in the last minute of the second period of golden point to wrap up a 20-16 win.
Following a horror run of defeats the players celebrated like they had won the grand final when the try was confirmed by the bunker, and Holbrook also expressed his relief.

"Well right now, everything," Holbrook replied when quizzed about what the win meant to his side. "We all know we were coming off five losses and I thought the game in tough conditions was really good.
"To get the try at the end in golden point was brilliant and exactly what we needed."
Missed opportunities
Meanwhile Dragons coach Anthony Griffin was left to rues missed opportunities but says his side will learn from the defeat.
"It's a hard one to swallow, there's no question about our endeavour. We've just got to get better," Griffin added. "Once we got to six in front, we didn't close the game out, they hurt but they're part of growing as a team and making sure we learn from that."
