The Dolphins will also be sweating on an update on their star recruit for 2024, Bulldogs centre Jake Averillo, who left the field in the second half at Robina with a suspected ACL injury.
The Titans' victory confirmed a dismal 15th position on the NRL ladder for the Bulldogs. They have now missed the NRL finals for the seventh consecutive season, an unacceptable result for such a proud club.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo, in conjunction with Bulldogs supremo Phil Gould, will conduct a root-and-branch review of operations in the off-season.
Canterbury have secured Penrith duo Stephen Crichton and Jaeman Salmon along with Sydney Sydney's Blake Taaffe and former Cronulla centre Bronson Xerri for 2024 to bolster the squad.
Their strong roster for next season will ensure Ciraldo is under the microscope should there be no dramatic improvement.
The bright spot in the Bulldogs' display against the Titans was a hat-trick for winger Josh Addo-Carr.
Foran wound back the clock when he exploded through threadbare Bulldogs defence to score under the posts in the 13th minute.
He then put on a classic display to bamboozle the Bulldogs defenders and score his second.
Addo-Carr blazed his way past five attempted tackles down the left sideline to run 80 metres and lift the Bulldogs back into the match with individual brilliance.
AJ Brimson moved temporarily from centre to the halves when starting No.7 Tom Weaver went off for treatment for a facial cut, and raced 50 metres to score to give the Titans an 18-6 lead at the break.
After Foran completed his third try, Addo-Carr added two more to his tally, but the Titans wrapped it up with tries to Kruise Leeming and Alofiana Khan-Pereira.
