Gold Coast Titans v New Zealand Warriors
Saturday, June 10, 3pm (AEST), Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
The Titans have a horrible record against the Warriors, while the Warriors are yet to win a match away from Mt Smart Stadium this season. The Titans will welcome back Nathan Peats after he picked up a cork in Origin 1, while Jarryd Hayne will shift to his preferred position of fullback.
History
The Warriors have won four straight and 12 of their last 13 against Gold Coast. They have also won their last six matches at Cbus Super Stadium. The Warriors won this year’s Round 6 clash in Auckland 28-22, with Kane Elgey scoring a double in a losing side.

Key Matchup
Nathan Peats v Issac Luke. Peats made an outstanding Origin debut and will take plenty of confidence back to club level. He missed last week’s loss to the Cowboys and will give the Titans a big boost around the ruck. Meanwhile, Luke produced arguably his best game in a Warriors jersey against the Eels last week, running for 128 metres and was a constant threat from dummy-half.

Final Thoughts
It’s extremely hard to trust the Warriors at the best of times, but their strong record against the Titans is impossible to ignore. The Titans have fallen off the pace recently and The Wolf is prepared to take a gamble on Stephen Kearney’s men as outsiders here.
