In a thrilling clash on Friday night, the Warriors emerged victorious over a resilient 12-man Titans side with a final score of 28-18.
Despite the early setback of prop Moeaki Fotuaika being sent off, the Titans put up a spirited fight, bringing the game down to the wire with a long-range try by Jayden Campbell.
However, the Warriors rallied late to secure their fourth consecutive win on the Gold Coast.
The opening 20 minutes saw no points on the board, but it was not without drama.
Titans forward Chris Randall was placed on report for a high tackle, and shortly after, Fotuaika was also sent off for a similar offense against Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad.
The tension escalated when Warriors backrower Marata Niukore was also shown a red card, resulting in three incidents within a short span of 10 minutes.
Despite already reshuffling their backline due to fullback AJ Brimson's late withdrawal, the Titans were left with only 12 players for the remaining 62 minutes after Fotuaika's premature exit.
However, it was during Niukore's sin bin period when both teams were down to 12 players that the Titans managed to open the scoring.
Backrower David Fifita made an explosive run from dummy half to score his seventh try of the season.
