The Gold Coast Titans have landing a signing coup, recruiting hulking Canberra Raiders prop Shannon Boyd on a four-year contract.

Boyd, who played four Tests for Australia in 2016, will join the Titans at the end of the season with his deal to keep him on the Gold Coast through to the end of the 2022 season.

The 194cm, 122kg front-rower has 100 NRL games to his name.

"Shannon has impressed me throughout the process and I believe he is a great acquisition for the club," Titans coach Garth Brennan said.

"He is an imposing figure that will bring some much needed size to our pack.

"He has played 100 NRL games and has represented his country so he brings with him a fair amount of experience that will help a number of our young guys.

"He will complement the forwards we already have here so I'm pleased he has chosen to join us.

"I'm looking forward to him joining the club next year."

The Titans' recruitment of Boyd follows the re-signing of Queensland Origin prop Jarrod Wallace on Monday.

Luckily for us Taumalolo is coming

 

[supercoach]

Very inconsistent player, world beater once every two months but the rest of the time goes through the motions . He needed a Cleary or a Belly ache as a coach to get him playing good football week in and week out

 

[GoldXR50Leroy]

He's another Dave Taylor, has the size to be a world beater but not the motivation.

not worried about us not signing boyd, what worries me most is all the other clubs even the crap ones seem to sign players, yet here we are losing players hand over hand and having a large amount in the cap, yet we sign no-one, its becoming demoralizing.

It's not June 30 YET!

Whats the rush.

 

[Tigerdon]

We need the right ones now. It’s not just about this year. Phase one was clearing the decks. Creating space in the cap.
Phase two is different, it’s about being the right player in.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Gee the Titans are going to be in a spot of bother if they reduce the interchange.

Boyd took the coin while the game allows him to be at his destructive and useful best.

Who have we lost? Its absolutely soul crushing

Titans seem very top heavy with big $$$ in their forward pack.

Wallace 600k
Proctor 550k
James 700k
Boyd 600k
Cartwright 750k

All on 3-4 years left

Dunno why I thought Cartwright was on 500k? Even that seems too much.

I wasn't sure and checked a few articles when he left and they say 3 mil over 4 seasons(750k pa). The rest are from zero tackle.

And we won't be signing anyone either…well no one of note anyway.

 

[TIGER]

Another terrible signing for the Titans, I can't see a bright future for that club.
Giants, Chargers, Seagulls, Titans ???
