final siren neared, but John Cartwright’s men held on as they came under sustained pressure.
Campbell contributed firstly when he knocked the ball from a charging Vatuvei, and the Titans defence nearly came undone a short time later when Lance Hohaia broke into space and chipped from 30m towards the line.
With the Warriors full-back bearing down on the ball, Gordon switched on the after burners and produced a match-saving effort to kick the ball into touch, ensuring the Titans held firm for their opening win of the season.
