NRLW Saturday: Titans v Raiders; Broncos pile on points

For the Titans, the equation is simple - win and they're into the finals, lose and they can start planning for 2026.

Last week's narrow loss to the Knights has left the 2023 grand finalists vulnerable to a late swooper and that team is Parramatta, who leapfrogged them with a big win over the Bulldogs.

The Titans confront a Raiders side that has recovered well after losing their first six matches and boasts the firepower out wide to pile on plenty of points.

Meanwhile, the Broncos will head into their week off full of confidence after blowing the Cowboys off the park 50-4 at Totally Workwear Stadium.

With so much on the line make sure you follow all the Round 11 action on NRL.com's live blog.
