the loose ball and crashed his way over.
The Titans' final try 14 minuets from time also came via some Roosters' generosity.
Pearce's attacking grubber was collected by Zillman metres out from the Titans line, the pair then putting on an 85m sprint downfield.
The Roosters No.7 rounded up Zillman but from the next play the ball went to the left for Toopi to claim his double and put the game to bed.
Prince added a field goal to ice the victory before Minichiello scored a consolation try to become just the second Rooster behind Bill Mullins (104) to crack the century of tries for the Bondi club.
The match review committee will scrutinise a lifting tackle by Laffranchi on Perrett, the Titans second-rower placed on report early in the second half.
Gold Coast also lost Rogers to an eye injury late in the game but it is not expected to prove too serious.
