The Warriors are out to extend their undefeated home record when they host the Titans on Saturday afternoon.
Ronald Griffiths side shut out the Eels at Go Media Stadium in Round 2, however they fell to the Knights in Newcastle last weekend.
A return to Auckland is the perfect opportunity to bounce back against the Gold Coast.
The Titans secured a confidence-building win over the Wests Tigers in Round 3, their first victory of the season.
Captain, and Kiwi Ferns star, Georgia Hale is set to return from suspension in a major boost for the visitors to take on her former team.
