New Zealand Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans Prediction – Round 21 2025
24/07/2025|Joel Caine|NRL Expert Predictions & Tips<p>The New Zealand Warriors pulled off one of the great escapes last week and will look to maintain their four-point cushion inside the top four when they face the Titans in NZ on Saturday.</p>
<p>The Titans were involved in their own thriller last week but not on the right side, falling to a last-minute field goal against the Tigers, sinking them closer to another wooden spoon.</p>
<p>In an effort to stop the rot, there’s been a serious shake up for the Titans. Klese Haas is elevated to start for the injured Tino Fa’asuamaleaui at lock, while it’s a fresh bench for Gold Coast with Iszac Fa’asuamaleaui, Josh Patston and Jacob Alick-Wiencke joining the 17 ahead of David Fifita (ankle) and Alofiana Khan-Pereira (dropped).</p>
<p>Just one change for the Warriors as Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returns from injury at fullback in a straight swap with Taine Tuaupiki.</p>

<h2>Warriors vs Titans Prediction and Betting Tips</h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3>
<p>Credit where credit is due, regardless of what ends up happening with the Warriors this season, they deserve their flowers.</p>
<p>Written off at the start of the season, then written off again once Luke Metcalf’s season was cruelly ended by injury, the Wahs simply refuse to roll over.</p>
<p>This resilience was on full display last start as they produced one of the most insane passages of play at the death against the Knights to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.</p>
<p>Trailing 15-14 with the siren about to sound, Tanah Boyd attempted to fire off a miracle field goal to tie up proceedings. His effort was charged down by the Newcastle defenders, but the ball then fell to backrower Leka Halasima who took off and scored a solo stunner to win the game.</p>
<p>Riding high off this remarkable result we anticipate that at home the Warriors will be far too good for a Titans side freefalling towards the wooden spoon.</p>
<p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> New Zealand Warriors.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>First Tryscorer Prediction</h3>
<p>It may seem strange backing a forward in this market, but after Leka Halasima’s heroics last week, how can we resist?</p>
<p>Yes, the try he scored against the Knights was right at the end of the match to steal victory, so we’re backing him to flip the script this week and kick things off with a crucial four-pointer.</p>
<p>This tip is far from based purely on what the kids might call ‘vibes’ or ‘aura’ from last week’s wonder run, Halasima has actually scored a try in five of New Zealand's last six matches. Sensational line finding form for a big man.</p>
<p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Leka Halasima.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3>
<p>Four of New Zealand's last five home matches against Gold Coast have gone under the total match points line.</p>
<p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Under total match points (47.5).</p>
