WATCH | Running It Straight previews NRL Round 16

Running It Straight is here every Wednesday for your weekly rugby league fix - and this week, hosts Sam Hewat and Anthony Gelling are joined from across the ditch by Ash Thomas from Wahs Up TV.

Ash is part of the current crop of NZ Warriors fans creating content across social media - but where his work stands out is the analytical approach taken to decipher the performances on field.

The Warriors themselves are looking to pick themselves up after a disappointing 38-24 loss to the Storm, their sixteenth on the trot to the Melbourne-based club. Currently sitting 12th on the NRL ladder, they'll face the last-placed Gold Coast Titans on Saturday.

With Mitch Barnett and Kurt Capewell called into the New South Wales and Queensland camps respectively for State of Origin game two, Warriors head coach Andrew Webster has to roll with the changes.

Dylan Walker moves to the second row and Tohu Harris starts at lock, while Tom Ale and Jacob Laban return to the interchange, alongside Jazz Tevaga and Chanel Harris-Tavita.

High-flying winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak also misses the match after accepting a one-week ban for his grade two careless high tackle charge last Saturday. This sees Ed Kosi on the wing, while Rocco Berry is also out with a shoulder injury.

Sam Hewat and Blake Ayshford will have live commentary of the One NZ Warriors vs Gold Coast Titans from 5.30pm (NZ time) ahead of the 6pm kick-off, on the SENZ app and all New Zealand frequencies - find yours here.
