Gold Coast have crashed Tim Sheens' Leichhardt Oval homecoming, toppling Wests Tigers 22-10 and spoiling any hopes of a bright start to the joint-venture's new era.
The Titans, also desperate to turn things around after a lacklustre 2022, looked an improved side as they made the most of their chances with David Fifita leading the way.
The only concerns for coach Justin Holbrook are a knee injury to Kieran Foran, while prop Tino Fa'asuamaleaui was placed on report for a high shot.
