Super Saturday: Warriors v Titans; Rabbitohs v Dragons; Wests Tigers v Broncos

71st minute: The Titans have lodged a Captain's Challenge after the ball was knocked on by Oliver Pascoe, the hooker calling for an early tackle. The appeal is quickly dismissed and the Warriors receive the ball. Warriors 28 - Titans 8. 

69th minute: The Titans are claiming their second try of the evening, with Sialetili Faeamani capitalising on a loose ball to score in the corner. The ball was knocked backwards by Jojo Fifita, Keano Kini batted the loose ball to his winger, who did the rest. Warriors 28 - Titans 8. 

61st minute: The Warriors defence has been exceptional this afternoon and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak has produced one of the biggest tackles we'll see all year. The Titans were hot on the attack, but Watene-Zelezniak rushed out of the line to deliver a bone-rattler on Jaylan De Groot to force the ball free. Warriors centre Ali Leiataua was also involved in the tackle, but he came off second best and will leave the field for an HIA. Warriors 28 - Titans 4.

53rd minute: The Titans joy has been short lived, captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui spilling the ball in the first set after points. The hosts did not need a second invitation, James Fisher-Harris producing a wraparound play for Erin Clark to score beside the posts. Warriors 28 - Titans 4.

51st minute: The visitors have capitalised on the early opportunity and are on the board as they look to launch a second-half comeback. Sialetili Faeamani did all the work, producing impressive footwork to muscle his way between a pair of Warriors defenders before offloading to Jojo Fifita to score in the corner. Warriors 22 - Titans 4. 

47th minute: An early chance for the Titans after Jayden Campbell produced a nasty bomb that Warriors fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad was unable to reel in. The ball got caught in the swirling wind and dopped away from the fullback as it fell from the sky. Warriors 22 - Titans 0. 

Kick-off: We are underway for the second half, with the Titans having first use of the ball as they look to work their way back into this contest. Josh Hannay's men had seven errors and 35 missed tackles in the first half and will need to improve both stats if they are to pull off the second-half comeback. Warriors 22 - Titans 0. 

Half-time: The Warriors have closed out a dominant half of football with another two points courtesy of a penalty goal after Leka Halasima was tackled without the ball. The hosts controlled the first half from the moment Ali Leiataua broke through in the opening minute and they did not look back. Jackson Ford, James Fisher-Harris and Mitch Barnett laid the foundation up front, with the Warriors backs doing the rest to put their side on top. In positive news for the Titans, Mo Fotuaika has passed his HIA and will return to the field after the break. Warriors 22 - Titans 0.

36th minute: It didn't take long for the Warriors to capitalise, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak flying through the air to score the host's fourth of the day. It was a well-worked shift to the right, with Ali Leiataua tapping the ball on to his winger to cross in the corner. Warriors 20 - Titans 0.

34th minute: The pressure builds for the Titans, who will be forced to defend their own line for another set of six. Phil Sami leapt high to take a bomb, but was driven into the in-goal and the Warriors have another chance to extend their lead. Warriors 16 - Titans 0.

30th minute: We're off to the Bunker for the second time today after Chanel Harris-Tavita came close to scoring. The ball spilled loose and the Titans scooped it up, but replays clearly show the ball was grounded before it was ripped away. The only question is whether it was grounded on the line or short. After a close look at multiple angles, the Bunker eventually determines the ball touched the line and the green light flashes on the big screen. Amid the run to the try-line, Harris-Tavita collided with Titans forward Mo Fotuaika, who has now left the field for an HIA. Warriors 16 - Titans 0. 

29th minute: The Warriors continue to turn the screws as they capitalise on Titans errors. This time it's Chanel Harris-Tavita who forces a line dropout, the hosts successfully recovering the short kick. Warriors 10 - Titans 0.

24th minute: Alofiana Khan-Pereira has his second, the winger producing a spectacular finish to cap a well-executed left edge play. The Warriors rolled down the field following the offside penalty before Chanel Harris-Tavita and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck each produced an excellent tap-on. The ball eventually landed in Khan-Pereira's hands and he leapt through the air to score the try. Warriors 10 - Titans 0.

21st minute: Another reprieve for the Warriors after they executed a well-placed short line drop out. The ball hit the deck, before bouncing off a Gold Coast foot into Kurtis Morrin's hands. Kini, however, was offside and the hosts receive the penalty. Warriors 4 - Titans 0.

19th minute: We're off to the Bunker with Kurtis Morrin claiming a try, but the on-field referee has spotted a knock on. Morrin looked destined to score before being cut down by Jackson Ford and Erin Clark, the prop slammed the ball down but grounded it short of the line before losing possession. The attacking chance came a couple of plays after a Jayden Campbell break put the visitors in the red zone. Warriors 4 - Titans 0. 

15th minute: The Titans have worked their way into good field position a couple of times in the past few minutes but they have turned the ball over on both occasions. The first was courtesy of some excellent Warriors goal-line defence, while the second was a simple error that released all the pressure. Warriors 4 - Titans 0.

11th minute: The Warriors have had all the running through the opening 10 minutes of this contest but the momentum could be about to swing back to the Titans. A Tanah Boyd kick got caught by the wind and bounced over the dead-ball line, handing the visitors a seven-tackle set and a chance to work in attacking territory. Warriors 4 - Titans 0.

6th minute: It's a dream start for the Warriors, with former Titan Alofiana Khan-Pereira scoring the opening points of the contest. An Ali Leiataua break put the hosts on the attack and while Gold Coast initially held firm, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck eventually laid on the final pass for his winger to score. Warriors 4 - Titans 0.

Kick-off: We are underway at a sold-out Go Media Stadium, with the Titans kicking off a Super Saturday of action. Dally M leader Jackson Ford has the first carry for the Warriors as he looks to advance his case for a NSW State of Origin debut. As for the Titans, they're out to build on a commanding victory over the Eels and continue an impressive recent record against the Warriors. Warriors 0 - Titans 0.

Late Mail

Warriors: Star duo Mitchell Barnett and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad have been cleared to make their return from injury in a major boost for the Warriors on game day. Nicoll-Klokstad will start at fullback, resulting in Taine Tuaupiki shifting to the bench, while Barnett has been added to the interchange in his comeback from a thumb injury. No such luck for Tanner Stowers-Smith, who succumbs to a hamstring injury but Kurt Capewell will return from a calf injury in the back row. 

Titans: Another minor change for Gold Coast on gameday, with Cooper Bai coming into the starting side at lock for the first time in his young career. Klese Haas shifts back to the interchange in his return from a quad injury. The changes come after an earlier reshuffle in Friday's 24-hour update, which saw AJ Brimson ruled out of the match. Brimson remained in Australia for the birth of his second child, while Chris Randall (calf) also dropped out. Jaylan De Groot comes in for his first game of the season in the centres. Zane Harrison and Josh Patston have been added to the six-man bench.
