The Raiders led 20-6 with 15 minutes remaining, but the Titans fought back with three tries – including rookie John Olive scoring the clincher on the bell - to win 24-20

The Titan’s share of the competition lead is looking shaky thanks to prop David Shillington reportedly being sent back on the field when half Tyrone Roberts was down with a knee Injury.

However, Roberts didn’t leave the field and continued playing.

The NRL is expected to review the situation on Tuesday.

"There was some confusion there," coach Neil Henry said at the press conference. "The sideline official is supposed to not hand the card over until that player is off. It cost us an interchange. Why would it cost us an interchange of no-one came off?

"I'm not sure. The match officials will have a look at it.

"When I Shillo go on and Tyrone ... I think Shillo was on about five seconds."
