Injuries and suspensions have rocked the Gold Coast Titans, but they will still give it their all today when they host the New Zealand Warriors. Join us for live scores and commentary from 5:30pm AEST.
The Titans have had a good start to the season, but injuries and suspensions look set to derail their finals charge.
Key players Ashley Harrison, Aiden Sezar, Nate Myles, Greg Bird and Kevin Gordon are all missing for the Titans tonight, and it remains to be seen if they have enough points in them to trouble the Warriors.
New Zealand have been in strong form of late, winning two of their past three matches. They went close to toppling the ladder-leading Bulldogs last week but were denied victory at the death courtesy of some terrific Canterbury defence.
If the Warriors can show up with the same intensity that they have displayed over the past three weeks, then they should secure a comfortable victory over the depleted Titans.
The only concern for the Warriors, however, rests on their ability to produce consistently. Given that they are coming off a tough loss to the Bulldogs, the Warriors are every chance of producing a lukewarm effort against a committed Titans outfit.
Despite missing many players, the Titans are renowned for their ability to dig deep. Even though they lost convincingly to Brisbane last week, the Gold Coast pushed the Broncos for 60 minutes before eventually succumbing in a tough contest.
In good news for the Titans, Albert Kelly makes his return from injury and he holds the key to victory for the Titans. If he fires, the Warriors will have a hard time containing the young star.
With the Warriors close to full strength, they should secure a good win if they are serious about challenging for the top eight.
