Gold Coast Titans: Roster Revamp and New Leadership for Upcoming Season
The Gold Coast Titans have undergone significant roster changes and appointed a new coach, Josh Hannay, for the upcoming season.
Player Departures and Arrivals
Key players departing include David Fifita, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Alofiana Khan-Pereira, and Brian Kelly. The club has made new signings to enhance depth in critical positions and improve team balance.
New recruits include Siale Faeamani, who is expected to debut on the wing, and Max Feagai, who will compete for a center spot. Halfback Lachlan Ilias has also joined the team.
Coach Hannay has indicated that AJ Brimson and Jayden Campbell will initially remain in the halves.
Forward Pack and Injuries
The team's forward pack features international and State of Origin representatives, including captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika. An ACL injury to Ireland international Jaimin Jolliffe creates a gap in the forward lineup.
Young player Cooper Bai, who performed well in his NRL debut and for the PNG Kumuls, is expected to contribute.
Hooking Depth
To bolster the hooking depth, Luke Sommerton and 2025 Hostplus Cup player of the year Ollie Pascoe have been added to the squad.
