The Titans are going great this season and the Warriors on the road have been average to say the least,but this game looms large for the Titans as this is a game they are expected to romp home in and that is always a danger for any side with those expectations.

Now that I am starting to give up on the Warriors whats the bet they will finally show up this weekend? They lose Roapati and Ah Van and bring back in Shortland and Crockett ,i'm unsure exactly what that brings to the team,Ropatiand Ah Van have been big players for the Warriors this season and although the two replacements have been in decent form I still don't know what to expect from them this week,they have lost all their away games by bucket loads and the same could be expected this weekend also,but I just have a feeling that this game favours the Warriors far more than the Titans.

The only loss for the Titans came in Rd 2 against the Dragons,but they have passed every other test thrown at them this season,they have won both teir local derbys now against the Cowboys and Broncos and ahve also won away which was something they struggled to do last season,They have played and won against 3 of the top 8sides in the Broncos,Cowboys and Sharks and they have looked great in the last few weeks,but this game is different,they are expected to win this one and win it well,they have lifted to very high levels in recent weeks and are due a let down sooner or latter and this game could well be it,they have been getting the best out of Prince and he will once again be called on to lift this side to a win and chances are he can do it,but he's an intresting stat for you,in games in which Prince has started against the Warriors his team has won only twice in 9 career starts against them.

Te Warriors won both games last year against the Titans home and away.30-6 in Auckland and 6-22 on the Gold Coast.

I have a funny feeling that the Warriors are going to turn up today,but the form of either side and the alround play of Scott Prince also leads me to believe that the Titans have what it takes to win this season and i'll back them to get the bkkies here but I think this game will be alot closer thanthe margins the Warriors have lost by in recent away games,they have alot to play for here and I expect a good effort from them today when no one is expecting them to,take the Titans to win it in a thriller but don't be to surprised if the Warriors against all odds actually get up today...Good Luck.
