Pitch invaders strike again at Gold Coast in NRL match between Titans and Panthers

Security at the Titans’ home ground is likely to come under the microscope after a pitch invader ran almost the length of the field during the match between Gold Coast and premiers Penrith.

Pitch invader ran across the field during the Titans-Panthers match.

The Gold Coast Titans have had more problems with pitch invaders at their home ground after another woman was tackled by security.

Just days after infamous invader Javon Johanson escaped being fined for running on to Cbus Super Stadium, at least two invaders entered the Robina field on Friday night.

In the final minute of the Titans’ 18-4 loss to Penrith, a woman ran 70m before being tackled from behind by a chasing security guard.

It wasn’t a crunching hit like the tackle that floored Johanson and went viral around the world, but the security guard didn’t mess around trying to bring the woman down.

After the full-time siren sounded, a man briefly entered the fence at the southern side of the field before being chased by security.

He managed to get back into the crowd and disappeared into the bowels of the stadium.

Johanson avoided a potential $5000 fine after being handed a good behaviour bond in Southport Magistrates Court earlier this week.

Magistrate Janice Crawford said Johanson was caught up in the heat of the moment and had shown remorse for her actions.

But the Titans are now facing a trend of people illegally entering the field. A similar incident occurred after their pre-season trial match against the Broncos earlier this year.
