The Warriors showed plenty of determination in Auckland last week when going down to the Storm by only six points.
With plenty of success on the road this year, the Warriors will like their chances of getting a win against a Titans outfit who have little to play for in their run home to the finals.
The Warriors should be full of confidence heading into this game. They have won 14 of their past 15 games against the Titans, seven of which were played on the Gold Coast where they haven't lost to the Titans since 2010.
The return of Blake Green and Tohu Harris is a huge boost for the Warriors as they make a late season dash towards the top-four.
W Matthews (Titans), B Green (Warriors), T Harris (Warriors), S Lisone (Warriors)
L Latu (Titans), A Blair (Warriors), T Satae (Warriors), M Lino (Warriors)

NRL Odds:Sydney Roosters $1.70 (-3.5) / St George Illawarra Dragons $2.2 (+3.5)
This shapes as the game of the round. Both teams have everything to play for, and both are capable of winning this match.
The Roosters will be looking to continue their red-hot run, while the Dragons will be determined to recapture their ANZAC Day form that saw them defeat the Chooks 24-8.
Since that clash, the Roosters have steadily improved and are now one of the the form teams of the competition, whilst the Dragons are showing chinks in their armour.
The spine of Tedesco, Cronk, Keary and Friend have hit their straps, with the Roosters averaging a staggering 29 points in their last four games.
Last week the Dragons saw a welcome return to form and found their feet against a struggling Cowboys side.
They now find themselves up against the best defensive team in the league and coach Paul McGregor will be looking to his halves Ben Hunt and Gareth Widdop to lead the way.
The return of Tyson Frizell is a huge inclusion for the Dragons, who boast a starting forward pack full of representative stars.
I Liu (Roosters), M Aubusson (Roosters), T Frizell (Dragons)
