NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS FORM: WARRIORS LOSE FOR FIRST TIME IN FOUR
The Warriors were hoping to break into the top eight last week but are still on the outside after going down to Melbourne Storm. The Kiwi side were their own worst enemy in that game but it is just one loss in four and they will believe they can bounce back here.

GOLD COAST TITANS VS NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS PREDICTION
Gold Coast Titans have threatened to kick start their season for a decent period now but it hasn’t materialised and they now find themselves propping up the ladder after a disappointing loss to Wests Tigers last week. New Zealand Warriors were also frustrated last time out as they went down to Melbourne Storm but they are well-placed to respond and are favoured in this contest.
