The Broncos were too strong for their neighbours and built a solid lead in the opening spell.
Anthony Milford got the first try after some great lead-up work from Lachlan Maranta and Sam Thaiday.
Mitchell Dodd extended the lead in bizarre circumstances when the ball was ripped free and went straight to him on the Titans try-line.
Milford added Brisbane’s third try, his second of the night, and the Broncos were flying.
But a mistake before half-time let the Titans in, after Daniel Vidot dropped the ball.
The Broncos sealed the game-up just after half-time when Dodds recorded his second four-pointer of the match.
Soon after David Mead returned fire for the Titans, giving them some hope with the clock dwindling away. Ryan James then crossed with 12 minutes left, cutting the lead to eight points.
The Titans had a sniff, but then Corey Parker knocked over a penalty goal with five minutes to go. The Gold Coast had no response and the Broncos had their fourth win in a row.
