The New Zealand Warriors will welcome the Gold Coast Titans to Auckland on Anzac Day for a sold-out clash to kick off proceedings in Round 8.
Andrew Webster's men slipped to a shock loss to the Dragons last week and will be desperate to atone for that poor performance in front of their fans as they play at home on Anzac Day for the first time in nine years.
In fact, the fixture will mark just the second time the club have hosted a game on April 25 in their history when they try to keep Des Hasler's side winless.

Warriors vs. Titans tips and prediction
The Warriors will be seeking home comforts when they play against the Titans, having lost their past eight Anzac Day games.
These have predominantly come against Melbourne at AAMI Park, and the winless Gold Coast side pose a very different proposition as they are rooted to the bottom of the ladder.

However, it may not be all plain sailing for the hosts as they have struggled to overcome the Titans in recent times, losing three of their past four meetings.
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak will be keen to rectify this record and keep his red-hot streak - he has crossed for 11 tries in his past 10 appearances - in Auckland alive.
Our prediction: Warriors by 12 points
