    ^^^^ if he can address the relationship with the feeder schools and have clear pathways into the Titans for elite talent then I’ll be thrilled

    Yeah diehard's nailed this. It wasn't that we needed a QLDer per se, but some of those guys were pure blood NSW legends and will be thought of as NSW blues first and foremost when you consider pedigree. Maguire was a bit different and my reasons for not wanting him were nothing to do with his NSW - 'ness' as he doesnt scream 'NSW BLUES' at you when you see him.

    Garth is from there, but he will make his mark in QLD and that is palatable to me.

    Yes mdrew, for sure but historically new owners will focus on the franchise’ bottom line. In our case more so because with a new coach as well the whole system will be unstable for some time. Maybe though opportunity knocks for you mdrew

    Wish we could crowd fund a position. I think the supporters know how important such a role is.

    You may have taken it as a anti-NSW sentiment, Bodsy. But I never wanted Daley, Hasler, Maguire or Toovey come anywhere near our Club. In fact, if we go back to the poll, you may have seen that I went with Demetriou who just so happens to be a N.S.Welshman.

    If my memory serves me well. I may have also been one of the more vocal ones that didn't want Walters coming our way either.

    Very happy with the coach selection. I for one was anti NSW but that was aimed Daley but in the same vein I didn't want to touch Walters with a ten foot pole because of his affiliations with the Broncos. Would have been happy with Demetriou but then hated the whole "he's on loan from the Broncos".

    Great decision and he's saying all the right things. Hope we have the support staff to help him see it all through.

    The Kevin Walters' "boost my appeal to the Ponies" saga has finally been exposed for what it was ... I will have great difficulty believing anything this Bennett toady says or does in the future ... what a tugger.

    With the Walters thing I feel for JD abit as it was reported that Bennett wanted to keep him on as to take over from him so if JD did an interview he may have done a half a$&ed one thinking he will get the Broncos gig. Not looking the case now.

    Smart move @GCTitans hiring ex @TheParraEels HP staff Hayden Knowles & Craig Catterick. Both know @JarrydHayne and will deliver his best.

    Great to read about the HP guys ... anybody nervous about whether Taylor really signs? I hope he does but the risk in publicly stating it was a ballsy move ... at least we won’t die wondering ... what a pleasant change from the Carty/Henry coach-speak.

    Yeah I’m a bit nervous but I’ll take it on face value. If he has mentored him he has the relationship.

    If not we have a problem . Will Cronk commute ?? Lol
