The New Zealand Warriors continued their strong NRL season by taking a commanding lead against the Gold Coast Titans at Robina on Saturday, August 1, 2026. Warriors' interchange player Eddie Ieremia-Toeava charged onto a short pass and scored the team's sixth try, further solidifying their position inside the top four.

Trailing by 20 points, the Titans had the first possession in the second half but were unable to mount a comeback, with an incident-free set ending in a kick clear.

Elsewhere, the Sydney Roosters delivered an emphatic performance, scoring seven tries to defeat the St George Illawarra Dragons by 30 points. A notable play saw Khan-Pereira run 40 metres before passing inside to Chanel Harris-Tavita, who scored under the posts.

The Brisbane Broncos, fighting to keep their faint finals hopes alive, hosted the Newcastle Knights, who were aiming to break a three-match losing streak. The Broncos secured the win, maintaining their slim chance of reaching the finals.

Later in the day, the Panthers and Raiders were set to return to Mudgee, revisiting the site of their memorable golden point battle from 2025.

It was also noted that the Tigers achieved their third win of the season within the opening five rounds, an improvement from just one win in 2025.
