Overview
- Round 22 is under way at Cbus Super Stadium with published team lists confirming Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad at fullback, Leka Halasima included and Adam Pompey moved to the bench for the Warriors.
- Early live action saw Titans fullback Keano Kini produce a key cover tackle to deny a potential Warriors intercept try.
- Coach Andrew Webster is selecting on current form as the Warriors try to halt a downturn that includes an 18-6 loss to the Canterbury Bulldogs and four defeats in their last seven matches.
- The Titans have AJ Brimson available on his return from concussion and have brought Kurt Morrin back to the bench, changes that sharpen their backline and interchange depth.
- Other Round 22 fixtures — including Broncos v Knights and Panthers v Raiders in Mudgee — carry separate finals implications and the result here could directly affect the Warriors' ability to hold a top-four spot after their strong 9-2 start to the season.
