KEY POINTS:
The Titans have won 12 of the 16 games they've played on the Gold Coast since their entry into the NRL last season, four-from-four this year, which has them attracting capacity crowds.
Their co-captain Scott Prince, who is in scintillating form, told the local newspaper after their win over the Broncos last Friday that the team was brimming with confidence and self-belief.
"When we take the field we feel we are going to win. It is hard to get but once you've got it, it is hard to lose," Prince said of that winning feeling.
It's a feeling the Warriors haven't got at the moment and a hostile crowd at Skilled Stadium in Robina on Sunday afternoon won't be trying to help them regather it.
The Titans are scoring an average 28 points at home and letting in 14, the Warriors are scoring an average 11 points away and letting in 33.
The major changes made yesterday to the side that will take on the Titans are due to injury - Ryan Shortland is back again at right centre for Jerome Ropati who has a hamstring problem and Michael Crockett comes onto the left wing for Patrick Ah Van who has a neck strain.
Teenager Sonny Fai is relegated to the under-20s side. "He's had a good introduction to the NRL with five matches on end but he needs a lot more time on the field. He'll get that with the under-20s and he'll be back soon," said coach Ivan Cleary, naming the experienced Wairangi Koopu as replacement on the bench.
The Titans are without co-captain Luke Bailey, broken wrist, and five-eighth Mat Rogers, suspended. Rogers' replacement Ashley Harrison, who suffered an elbow injury in the 26-24 win over Brisbane last Friday, has been cleared of major damage.
Prop Brad Meyers has a wrist injury but was also named yesterday in a team that is unchanged after victory over the Broncos.
