2025 Titans recruit Carter Gordon watched on from behind Gold Coast’s bench as his new club scored their highest-ever total in a complete thrashing of the New Zealand Warriors on Saturday afternoon.

Jayden Campbell and Alofiana Khan-Pereira starred in a record 66-6 thumping of Andrew Webster’s side at Cbus Super Stadium. Campbell answered his critics with a record-breaking 26-point showing, including 11 of 11 conversions and a second-half try.

To compound the Warriors’ woes, No.6 Te Maire Martin (hip drop) and centre Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (lifting tackle) were put on report.

Away fans streamed in to the ground before kick-off, and the chant of “Warriors, Warriors …” could be heard 500 metres from Cbus Super Stadium.

The Warriors faithful among the crowd of 22,782 were soon silenced by their team’s ineptitude and the razzle-dazzle of a red-hot home outfit.

Titans winger Alofiana Khan-Pereira crossed four times to become the NRL’s leading try scorer for the season, with 14.

His speed was too much for the sluggish Warriors to get anywhere near.

The Titans were on fire in the opening half, with halves Campbell and Kieran Foran supreme.

Campbell threw a sensational cutout pass to send try-scoring machine Khan-Pereira over on 15 minutes, and Foran unfurled a deceptive short ball for second-rower Beau Fermor to storm in soon after.

The Titans’ third try was pure embarrassment for the woeful Warriors as hooker Chris Randall wafted forward Jazz Tevaga away like he wasn’t there to make it 18-0.

Six minutes later, Campbell – who had been backed to the hilt by coach Des Hasler during the week – stepped his way through more non-existent Warriors defence and prop Keenan Palasia did the rest.

The tries kept coming, with Sam Verrills adding another before the break to bring up the equal-best first-half lead in Titans history – matching the 30-0 performance against Canberra in 2013.

The carnage continued in the second half, with Khan-Pereira again cutting loose.

Titans back-rower David Fifita had a blinder and sent a message to Queensland coach Billy Slater after he was left out of the Maroons side for State of Origin II.

The Warriors’ season is now on life support and coach Andrew Webster has multiple problems to solve.
