Warriors vs Titans Head To Head

The Titans have won six of their last eight games against the Warriors and haven't lost in NZ since 2013.

New Zealand Warriors Stun Storm

Overall, it's been a fantastic start to the season for the Warriors - they are proving they have a very high ceiling, so when they get it right and find some slightly improved consistency, they are well and truly a premiership force.

Tanah Boyd has been a revelation at halfback, more than holding his own in the continued absence of Luke Metcalf, while the experienced James Fisher-Harris and young bookends Leka Halasima and Demitric Vaimauga highlight a fearsome pack. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck are also enjoying resurgent seasons out wide.

Jackson Ford is also on fire, turning into a tryscoring machine at prop with three for the year as he leads the Dally M standings after six rounds.

The Warriors opened the season with three straight wins over the Roosters, Raiders and Knights, but suffered a lapse with heavy defeats to the Tigers and Sharks.

However, Andrew Webster's side got back on track with a thunderous statement performance last week against the Storm, piling the misery on Melbourne with a commanding 38-14 triumph. The Wahs completed 88 per cent of their sets, with DWZ scoring another double.

Gold Coast Titans' Shocking Start

It was a shocking start to the season for the Titans, but with the aid of a kind draw, they've won two of their last three games to give themselves a boost heading into Round 7.

Three straight defeats to open the year are firmly in the rear view mirror, with the Titans managing to get on the board with a 22-14 victory over the rock bottom Dragons.

Gold Coast were outclassed by big brothers Brisbane 26-12 in their next game, but bounced back with a massive 52-10 triumph over the Eels last week.

Jayden Campbell is the main man for this Titans side and the halfback delivered an electrifying performance to take his season try tally to four from as many games. Arama Hau is also impressing with some big charges on the right edge and has three tries from his last three appearances.
