Gold Coast Titans vs. NZ Warriors

With it all on the line for these two clubs and, both coming off losses last week, we should see a great clash here and a physical one at that.
Titans hold on to eighth spot courtesy of a better for and against over Canberra with the Warriors, one of three teams only one win behind.
Titans, after a string of very poor performances, were able to straighten up their form with wins over West Tigers and in round 22, Canterbury at ANZ Stadium.
They travelled to North Queensland last week where they found a rejuvenated Cowboys side too good (22 – 10) and the remaining weeks of the competition hold nothing but bad news for the Titans if they wish to hold onto their current position.
After the Warriors this week, whom they haven’t beaten in their past five clashes, the Titans have to face Roosters and Storm in rounds 25 and 26.
The Warriors, who were among the leading chances of securing a finals berth only several weeks ago, slumped to their third straight loss last week when failing to run down the Panthers 28 – 24.
Unlike the Titans, they have a more favourable run home with Raiders and St. George their final two games but, to make these games relevant, a win here is a must.
When they last met, only one point separated them 25 – 24 and we’ll see another close encounter here.
On their best days, both sides can produce the goods but it’s hard to tip one with confidence given the respective records this season.
