Burton’s knee injury, coming when he was caught awkwardly in a tackle on Jojo Fifita, briefly took the wind out of both Canterbury and the crowd.
The Gold Coast quickly seized upon the backline upheaval to run in a pair of tries to Alofiana Khan-Pereira.

A dropped bomb by the Gold Coast flyer landed straight in the lap of Harry Hayes, with Jacob Preston finishing off to keep the Titans at bay.
Tries were traded by Kurt Mann and Titans skipper Tino Fa’asuamaleaui – returning to the scene of his ACL rupture last year – before a long break from Keano Kini was finished off by Fifita.
The Titans threatened, but couldn’t muster a grandstand finish their lacklustre defence didn’t deserve. A runaway try to Connor Tracey confirmed as much two minutes from full-time.
Aside from Burton and Kikau, the Bulldogs will be watching Monday’s charge sheet after Mahoney (contact on the kicker) and Montoya (shoulder charge) were placed on report ahead of next Sunday’s grudge match against Parramatta.
