Gold Coast coach Justin Holbrook has praised his side's resilience after they avoided a second NRL collapse in as many weeks against Manly.
Six days after letting a 26-0 lead go against the Dolphins, players admitted they began thinking of that loss when Manly made a second-half charge on Saturday night.
The Titans watched a 16-2 halftime lead become 16-10 with 25 minutes to go, before they held off the Sea Eagles' next attacking set, won a penalty and claimed back the ascendancy to win 26-10.
It comes after players admitted their embarrassment after the Dolphins match, in what loomed as a potential season-defining loss last weekend.
"Everyone, at halftime, is asking how we are going to go under pressure," Titans coach Justin Holbrook said.
"The whole of rugby league is thinking it. We started well but didn't score. They were the first to score but got down on our line again.
"To the playing group's credit they handled it well.
"I said (after last week) we are doing so many things well, but we just have to make better choices under pressure. And we did that tonight."
Star second-rower David Fifita said the crucial point was that the Titans did not try to protect their lead, putting on an attacking kick for the next try.
"We knew it was in the back of our head," Fifita said.
"We learned from last week. It was embarrassing. But what a way to respond tonight. I am happy we got the win.
"We're just playing footy. We have been in that position before. It was calm out there, we weren't trying to hold onto the win. We were playing footy. It was good."
The news isn't all good for the Titans, after fullback AJ Brimson suffered a hamstring injury.
The blow is not in the same leg he injured last month, but the Titans fear he will spend some time on the sidelines with Jayden Campbell to again deputise at No.1.
That would likely end any small hopes Brimson had of playing in State of Origin I for Queensland.
"He's not great," Holbrook said.
"It's his other hamstring. That's not great for us. He has been playing great. We're lucky we had the luxury of having JC (Campbell) there, he slotted in nicely."
