Going, Going, almost Gone

The Gold Coast has become a place where rugby league careers go to flounder with the Titans unable to attract fans or retain talent.
Good luck to whoever steps into the coaching hot seat next

Their squad is actually good.

They have solid, hard working forwards and fast, exciting backs.

I'd argue their issue is inconsistency in the spine, lots of chopping and changing.

Foran is at the end of his career and their better spine players like Campbell & Kini have been injured.

I find Brimson to be very over rated also.
They need a halfback - which is interesting because a stat was posted that the entire top 4 at the moment will have halves that were let go by the titans - Sexton, Fogarty, Tanah Boyd and Jarome Hughes. If they could land a decent 7 their spine, full strength, isn't looking that bad and their team, overall is very competitive.

1. Keanu Kini
6. Jayden Campbell
7. Position vacant
9. Sam Verrills [good player]

Brimson a 14 or centre for mine.

They are likely to come out now and win 6 in a row. They have speed and physicality that all teams need to build success around

 

[hank37w]

I don't know about 6 in a row, but 2 wins against us is always a distinct possibility.

One of the better coaches of the last 20 years, but the game has passed him by.

Kev Walters I think will be the front runner

 

[Needaname]

Is it immediate or end of season?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

One of the owners exited the club and the remaining two, husband and wife, now are the remaining owners.

End of season.

Next Blues coach you reckon?

I like Des

Used to play games with the media...great career

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Des and the Titans always seemed like a bizarre fit. Similar to when Anasta was a Tiger. Just looked so out of place.

Didn't hurt he finally saw the error in his ways and became a Magpie

Scored a great try at Ctown one day, packing into the scrum at lock, 10 out. Did what Heigno couldn’t do and picked it up and raced over the line and sealed the game.

 

[Odessa]

I think Des sometimes tries to be to smart and it's abit beyond the player's

But he has chopped and changed his team around alot and for me Jayden at halfback is a no he must be 5/8 and if they had there time over getting Sexton for next year would be smart good fit with Jayden

But they have a top 8 team on paper

Big fan of what he achieved at Manly and Bulldogs.

He leaned heavily into sports science and tactical stuff but his biggest error may have been that he never developed emotional connections or the psychology of the players. Of late, sports psychology has modernised almost at the rate of physical sports science.

Players of this era need more cuddles that’s for sure

I'm not sure if you have negative connotation to cuddles but in general players play better when they're happier. When they're given the right reason, discipline, confidence and assurity, they play better. That's something Wayne Bennet does better than most.

Hasler probably didn't believe in all that as much as your new age coaches like Holbrook, Cleary, AOB, Ciraldo etc
