While the Warriors are slipping in confidence after four losses in their last seven, the Titans' attack—especially from Jayden Campbell and Phillip Sami—has been electric.

Gold Coast Titans vs New Zealand Warriors NRL Round 22 Tips & Prediction
The Titans are on a roll and tipped to cover with a +4.5 start in what is shaping as a cracking contest to kick off Super Saturday at Cbus.
Where was this footy at the start of the year from the Titans? To be fair, it was always going to take some time to gel under new coach Josh Hannay, but a couple more wins early in the year could have seen them contending for the finals.
Nevertheless, the Titans come into this clash with three wins from their last five, including upsetting Penrith and putting 38 points on Manly and the Dragons. Jayden Campbell and Zane Harrison have formed a brililant halves combination, while Keanu Kini and Oli Pascoe are also firing on all cylinders in the Titans' spine.
Meanwhile, the Warriors' are down on form and confidence heading into this clash, losing four of their last seven games, including a most-recent 12-point defeat to the Bulldogs. With the Sharks and Dolphins breathing down their neck, the Warriors are in danger of slipping out the top four if they don't bounce back soon.
I believe the Wahs are there for the taking here. Gold Coast have nothing to lose and are playing some great footy. They've won four of their last six home games against the Warriors, so I'll back them to cover with a +4.5 start, along with either team winning by 1-12 - it should be a close contest.
Phil Sami is in good tryscoring form and is tipped to cross out wide, while there's also some value on Titans second-rower Arama Hau breaking the line for a four-pointer.

Gold Coast Titans Form Analysis
The Titans are humming with three wins from their last five games, climbing from 16th on the ladder to 13th.
However, with all six of their remaining games coming against top eight teams, they've left their run too late to seriously challenge for the finals - but they can be a nuisance for those sides looking to secure September footy.
After stunning Penrith, the Titans went down to the Dogs and Storm, but have bounced back with some sparkling attack to knock off the Sea Eagles and Dragons, scoring 38 points in both wins.
Jayden Campbell scored 18 of those points last week in the 38-18 victory over the Dragons on the road.
New Zealand Warriors Form Analysis
Difficult little period for the Warriors at the moment as they look to re-establish their top four status and regenerate some momentum heading into the finals.
It's been a tough season with injuries, especially in the halves - and the Warriors are starting to look a little flat and burned out coming into the business end of the season.
The Wahs were out-enthused by the Dogs last week at Accor, going down 18-0 before scoring a late try.
That was their fourth loss in seven games after losing by exactly two points to the Dolphins, Sharks & Panthers.
