Titans vs Warriors Prediction & Tips: 2026 NRL Round 22
Heading in the right direction
Despite being out of Finals contention, the Titans are improving and are on track to finish the season on a positive note. Their most recent 38-18 road victory over the Dragons highlighted that. In a game which was tight at times, the Titans gained enough control to pull away towards the end of the match. The result was established by a high standard of execution (90% completion rate) while controlling possession (53%). This allowed them to make 9.8m per carry, make 632 PCM’s, and create 8 line breaks. Their defence was also strong, missing just 22 tackles and scrambling well when it mattered.
Not the same Warriors
Something was amiss for the Warriors last week in their 18-6 road loss to the Bulldogs as they failed to resemble the team which has recorded 12 games this season. They were their own worst enemy which added to their woe. With 49% possession, they completed at just 71%, averaged 8.4m per carry, and made just 1 line break. They were exposed defensively too, leaking 6 line breaks and missing 42 tackles. It is time for them to reset and get back to the form which they have displayed well this season.
Stats that matter
- The Titans have a negative record at this ground, winning just 43% of matches. The Warriors enjoy success, winning 52% of games here.
- These two sides met in Round 7 where the Warriors were victorious 28-20. In the past 5 matches, 4 games have been decided by 14 points or less but a blowout victory to the Titans takes the average out to 18.6 points. The total points is high in the same games, sitting at 52.2 points.
- The Warriors are the superior team on both sides of the ball this season. They allow just 17ppg in defence while the Titans leak 25ppg. The Warriors score 27ppg while the Titans can only manage 20ppg.
Closer than the odds suggest
The Warriors are a team that is struggling in a variety of areas. The loss of Tuaupiki further hurts them and it is a matter of going back to what worked well for them previously to regain confidence and form. The resurgence of the Titans should be given perspective also; they’ve improved their execution but are yet to face a quality team which plays with a higher standard. The Warriors offer than challenge this week. While they are accurately listed as outsiders, the game will not be as one-sided as most think. The Warriors will have to work hard for a victory in this contest and if they’re not careful, they could be ambushed by the home side. It would be unlikely to see a blowout occur.
The Titans have strengthened their defensive structure, while the Warriors must improve compared to their effort on this side of the ball in Round 21. Therefore, it is best to invest on the Warriors winning by no more than 2 converted tries in a thrilling contest that could go down to the wire.
