With the Broncos five metres out from the Titans line and trailing by five with 30 seconds on the clock, Mam elected to go down the blind side on tackle one and put a kick in for centre Grant Anderson.<\/p>\n

The Titans won the race to the ball and knocked it dead. <\/p>\n

It clinched a famous victory for the Gold Coast. Star fullback Keano Kini put the Titans in front just minutes earlier with a stunning solo try and it was a lead they would not relinquish.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brisbane dropped their fifth straight game with their top eight hopes slipping away.<\/p>\n

Breaking down the Broncos\u2019 fatal final throw of the dice, champion halfback Cooper Cronk believes that Brisbane didn\u2019t play poorly, but that the Titans were able to win the big moments.<\/p>\n

The Broncos had a definite overlap on the right but Mam elected to go left and put in a grubber for Grant Anderson.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes in our game, it comes down to moments, and there was a moment that Ezra Mam will want to have back because when the game was on the line, there were a couple of options for Mam,\u201d Cronk said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Adam Reynolds is calling for the ball, in moments of chaos, you need vision. There are multiple players for the Broncos on the right and minimal players for the Titans. He doesn\u2019t look right and goes in on an all-in play and in moments of chaos you need to do the team thing. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t predict the future, but if he gets it to the right hand side, I\u2019m pretty certain it\u2019s a try for the Brisbane Broncos.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019d like to have that moment again. If he passes it right, maybe it\u2019s a different result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mam was in the headlines during the week after he was benched by coach Michael Maguire.<\/p>\n

He would enter the game earlier than anticipated when Tom Duffy copped a head knock and proved a handful, recording a line break, four tackle busts and running for 65 metres <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ezra Mam\u2019s 80th minute decision potentially cost the Broncos a win against the Titans, with an NRL legend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[18743,64,63,689,4428,11101,11096,348794,21683,348793,2485,4612,4608,5096,48254,6407,348791,348792,761,762,158,677,701,121265,26498,85,121792,303603,63143],"class_list":["post-719404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-adam-reynolds","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-cooper-cronk","tag-daniel-nuttall","tag-definite-overlap","tag-ezra-mam","tag-final-minute-option","tag-gold-coast","tag-gold-coast-titans","tag-grant-anderson","tag-head-knock","tag-line-break","tag-michael-maguire","tag-minute-decision","tag-minute-option-costs","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-oceania","tag-queensland","tag-right-hand-side","tag-shock-loss","tag-sports","tag-stunning-solo-try","tag-team-thing","tag-tom-duffy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
