The Warriors suffered a shock 16-24 loss to the last-placed Gold Coast Titans in front of a sold-out home crowd, missing a prime opportunity to solidify their top-four NRL standing after the Broncos’ earlier defeat.
Despite early momentum and two quick tries, the Warriors unraveled after a Titans fightback sparked by AJ Brimson and Jayden Campbell.
The match featured key milestones, including Marata Niukore’s 150th game and possibly Kieran Foran’s last appearance in New Zealand.
A head knock to hooker Wayde Egan, defensive lapses, and a costly sin-binning of Dallin Watene-Zelezniak compounded the Warriors’ woes in what may be their most disappointing loss of the season.
