Gold Coast Titans 12-10

Bit of a set-to in backplay. Nathan Peats and Solomone Kata have had a bit to say to each other. Warriors penalty after Peats is ruled to have started it.

Time back on. Lawton is off, looks to be possibly a dislocated ankle. Ryan Simpkins left the field late in the first half and failed a concussion test so the Titans are struggling with player stocks.

Time is off with Karl Lawton down with what looks like a serious injury. Awful thing to happen on his NRL debut.

Warriors with the better of the action so far in the second half.

10 all

Warriors take it dead forcing a dropout before halftime but the shotclock isn't long enough - we'll go to the sheds at 10-all.

We're off to the Bunker! We're checking a NO TRY for Tuimoala Lolohea. Sideline and grounding.

Gold Coast Titans 10-6

Roberts tests the Fusitua-Lolohea wing again with a high kick but Fusitua is all over it. Warriors out of gaol for now.

...spoke to soon. A poor offload from the Warriors gives the Titans the pill on halfway.

Both sides out on the park now after a special haka greeting from some of the Warriors lower graders for 250-game stalwart Simon Mannering. We're ready for a start.

The Titans have a raft of issues with William Zillman (foot), Ash Taylor (groin), Eddy Pettybourne & Nathan Friend (both hand injuries) all out. Josh Hoffman moves to fullback with Karl Lawton to debut in the centres, Cameron Cullen comes in at halfback, Lachlan Burr and Nathaniel Peteru join the bench. There's also a player swap with Agnatius Paasi starting in the second row and Leihava Pulu reverting to the interchange.

Pre-game news - a few changes for both sides. The Warriors have lost Ryan Hoffman to a virus. This brings Simon Mannering into both his second row spot and the captaincy. Charlie Gubb will play lock with Bunty Afoa to debut off the bench.

We're across the ditch for the first game of Round 17's "Super Saturday" - two inconsistent sides in the Warriors and Titans face off - with the prize a potential spot in the eight (depending on Penrith's result later this afternoon). Both teams have sixteen points from the opening sixteen rounds.
