Overview
- The Warriors travelled to the Gold Coast for their Round 22 NRL fixture against the Titans on Saturday as they sought to shore up a place inside the top four.
- The club has slipped from its 9-2 start by losing four of seven games and suffered an 18-6 defeat to the Canterbury Bulldogs last weekend, increasing pressure on match-day results.
- Coach Andrew Webster made selection choices based on form and injury, with Taine Tuaupiki sidelined by a foot sprain, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad shifted to fullback, Leka Halasima promoted to start and AJ Brimson returning for the Titans after concussion.
- Early in the match a standout moment came when Titans fullback Keano Kini produced a cover tackle to stop Dallin Watene-Zelezniak from running the length of the field.
- In the NRLW Magic Round in Wagga Wagga the Warriors women rallied from 18-0 down but lost 18-16 to the Titans, and the club now prepares to host the Newcastle Knights in Hamilton in the next round.
