New Zealand Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans Preview & Prediction

The Warriors will be hoping to bounce back from last week’s poor display when they play host to the embattled Titans in Auckland on ANZAC Day.

It was a performance to forget for the Warriors last week – after scoring the first try and dominating the opening 20 minutes, they ultimately went down 30-12 against the Dragons.

That defeat means the Warriors have won just three of their seven games for the season. Andrew Webster’s side are understandably struggling to replicate the form they put together to make the preliminary finals last year and I think it will be tough for them to make the finals in 2024.

In saying that, this is the perfect opportunity for the Warriors to recapture their best form.

The Titans have been horrendous to start the season under new coach Des Hasler, conceding an average of 30 points per game and losing all six matches.

Anchored to the bottom of the ladder, Gold Coast have at least put up a decent fight in their last two games, losing in golden point to the Raiders before last week’s 34-30 defeat to Manly.

VERDICT:

While the Titans have improved over the last fortnight, they are still conceding far too many points. Shaun Johnson still looks dangerous for the Warriors and he should have a field day against their shaky defence.

Not really fancying the Warriors this season, but this is a game they should win comfortably in front of a packed home crowd on ANZAC Day (Best Warriors -12.5 line odds $1.90 with Dabble.)
