The Warriors will look to keep the momentum rolling when they return home to host the high-flying Titans this weekend.
Andrew Webster’s men returned to form with a dominant win over Melbourne last week. They have now turned their focus to collecting another two points at Go Media Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Jackson Ford has been a revelation this season and will look to continue the form that has seen him surge to the top of the Dally M standings.
The prop headlines a physical pack also featuring James Fisher-Harris and young stars Leka Halasima and Demitric Vaimauga.
Halfback Tanah Boyd has been pulling the strings in attack, unlocking a talented backline led by Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak.
The battle of the backs is sure to be an entertaining one after Gold Coast piled on the points in last week’s win over the Eels.
Keano Kini was at his scintillating best, while halves Jayden Campbell and Lachlan Ilias continue to build an impressive partnership.
Given the unpredictable nature of this year’s competition, Saturday’s match is sure to be an entertaining tussle between two in-form teams.
