Gold Coast Titans vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
The Gold Coast Titans (17th) were dismantled 54-22 by the Cronulla Sharks in Round 24, their fourth loss in five games.
The New Zealand Warriors (4th) snapped a three-game losing streak with a hard-fought 14-10 win over the St George Illawarra Dragons. In a sign of their maturity, this is a game that the Warriors would have lost in season’s past.
Defensive issues? The Titans have conceded 40 points or more in five separate matches in 2025. Titans halfback Jayden Campbell has scored five tries in six games against the Warriors.
The Warriors have won six of their last eight games in Australia.
The Warriors lead the overall record 20-15, but the Titans have taken six of the last seven encounters, including a 24-16 upset in Round 21 this season.
At home or not, the Titans’ defensive lapses and the Warriors’ top four drive point to a New Zealand victory, albeit in a closer match than we might expect.
Gold Coast Titans vs New Zealand Warriors tip: New Zealand Warriors to win by 1-12 points
