Wests Tigers have fallen to their fourth-straight loss of the NRL season in heart-breaking fashion against Gold Coast Titans, beaten 8-6 in a bizarre finish at CBUS Super Stadium on Thursday.
With the Tigers less than a minute away from recording their first win of the season, Titans half Toby Sexton - with his team's final attacking play of the game - launched a bomb, which rebounded off the goalpost and into the in-goal.
Tigers halfback Jock Madden spilled the loose ball, leaving AJ Brimson to pounce and claim the match-winning try for the Titans, leaving a straightforward conversion to put them in the lead, which they held for the remaining 15 seconds of the contest.
The result leaves Wests Tigers winless through the opening four rounds and mired at the bottom of the ladder, as the pressure on coach Michael Maguire continues to ramp up.
It comes a week after their round three loss to NZ Warriors, where they squandered a mountain of late possession and territory, failing to find the try they needed to steal victory.
Both sides struggled with errors and indiscipline in a game which appeared destined to be decided by penalty goals, until Brimson's late try.
The Titans now sit seventh in the competition standings, with two wins and two losses through the opening four rounds.
