Can the Titans continue their recent good form and put a serious dent in the Warriors' minor premiership aspirations?
Can the Raiders produce another miracle in Mudgee or will the Panthers tighten their grip in top spot?
Can the Broncos give the Suncorp Stadium faithful something to cheer about or will Kalyn Ponga's return inspire the injury-hit Knights?

min: This time, the Warriors find success on the far left corner, with former Titans Alofiana Khan-Pereira diving over to score his first of the afternoon. The Warriors have been able to roll up the field relatively unhindered and are making their chances count when in the opposition 10. Harris-Tavita's difficult attempt misses again and it's 8-0 to the Warriors.
7th min: Well, as it happens, it is Dallin Watene-Zelezniak who scores the first try, going over in the right corner with the Warriors making the most of some ill-discipline from the Titans who piggybacked them in their attacking zone. The conversion attempt from Chanel Harris-Tavita is unsuccessful. Score is 4-0.
3rd min: No points but plenty happening early. The Titans were looking promising in attack, but an errant pass in their 10 is intercepted by Dallin Watene-Zelezniak who streaks away. He is brough down by a good tackle from Keano Kini, before Warriors lose momentum when they are on the attack with a lost ball from Kurt Capewell getting up to play the ball.
Kick off: The Titans kick off the get us started.
Before kick off: A sold-out crowd at Cbus Super Stadium, with plenty of people around the precinct early. In the lead-up to the Titans v Warriors match on the field, the Gold Coast and Dolphins NRLQ Under 21 sides met, with Dolphins securing a 42-22 win.

Late Mail
Titans: AJ Brimson (concussion) returns in the centres, with Jaylan de Groot coming into the 19 in the final squad update at the expense of Lachlan Ilias. Bench forward Kurt Morrin got through Friday's captain's run without incident and is good to go after missing the past two games due to a leg infection. Captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui will play his 100th game for the Titans to go with the 27 he racked up at the Storm.
Warriors: Adam Pompey has been demoted to the bench with Leka Halasima to start in the centres in the only game-day squad change. Taine Tuaupiki will miss at least one game with a foot sprain, so Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad steps in at fullback as he did in the second half last week. Bench forward Demitric Vaimauga dropped out of the squad on Friday due to injury with Riley Price joining the six-man interchange. Rising back-rower Eddie Ieremia-Toeava also joins the bench.
