What a fantastic opportunity for those in a position to have a go.

An extremely rewarding and enjoyable career.

I thought I would post it here to help spread the word. I see this not only as the Titans forum, but the Gold Coast rugby league section and junior development in the Gold Coast as relating to the Titans down the river.

[DeeGan]

Just one dream job in rugby league that I would love to be able to have a crack at though qualifications don't allow me too!

The right person for the role will no doubt get to liase with Scott Sattler and John Cartwright as they spend time developing the Titans Elite Squad - a fantastic opportunity and thoroughly rewarding knowing you are doing something on the Gold Coast to maximise growth in the area for junior rugby league.

Ahh well - I guess your all still stuck with me for sometime yet

Well said Deegs, whoever gets the job will be responsible for not only shaping new Titans stars but attracting players to the code who we might have lost otherwise. And even giving young children an opportunity to fall in love with the game, making them future Titans fans.

These kids will not only be our new fans of the future, but volunteers, scouts, coaches, referees, administrators and development officiers.

The importance of the job and it's significance to the Titans can't be understated.

Ahh well - I guess your all still stuck with me for sometime yet

Don't worry mate, we love you!

Ahh well - I guess your all still stuck with me for sometime yet

Yes but just who are you?

[Lennox Titan]

I have the teaching degree...pity im not that good at it

[DIEHARD]

It might be something people would be interested in working towards.

There will be many new rugby league development jobs in the future.

If you are serious about the job, forget the qualifications, just go get it.

The right person is the right person, show you have the knowledge the skills and the drive to get this job and you will go along way towards getting it.

There are alot of educated idiots out there, and im sure if the right person wants this job, the degree is only a short step away.
