Gus would never leave Sydney for a job, not even Newcastle.
When he isn't lying or driving agendas, i find Gus' style of humour and thoughts on league fascinating and enjoy listening to him a great deal.
But i do know he can be quite biased when commentating ( not as bad as Corey Parker imo ) and I don't watch footy on 9, so i haven't really heard him commentate in a long time ( maybe just the 3 origins each year?).
I don't want him anywhere near our club, but would love him to spend a day with Ash to talk about footy and life and legacy.
This is what the hell ive been preaching about for years now. Hallelujah. It’s the only way we will win a Premiership.
Palm Beach Currumbin hooker Jed Edwards joins Gold Coast Titans from Parramatta Eels
THE Titans Elite Development System has secured another big win for the Gold Coast NRL club’s future in the form of outstanding young hooker Jed Edwards.
The Titans launched their multimillion-dollar program in November to ensure they have the appropriate system to bring through the region’s talent and first struck gold when they signed Australian Schoolboys second-rower Juwan Compain from the Broncos.

While that was the trumpeted recruitment at the time, Compain’s 2018 NRL Schoolboy Cup-winning Palm Beach Currumbin teammate Edwards flew under the radar in joining his hometown team a couple of months later.
The 17-year-old from Mullumbimby had been under contract at Parramatta until the end of this year but said the lure of being a Titan was too good to refuse.
“The Titans sort of came to me at the end of last year and just put the offer on the table if I wanted to come into their new TEDS program that they are running there and it was something that I was really keen on and wanted to jump in straightaway,” he explained.

“I asked for a release from Parramatta; it took a while but I finally got one and I was able to sign with the Titans on a two-year deal at the start of this year.”
Edwards, a NSW under-16 representative in 2017, said linking up with mates at Gold Coast had proven a major attraction – and the club will no doubt hope it does for other boom talents such as Toby Sexton (Bulldogs) or even Broncos rising star Tom Dearden as well.
“Juwan is there and Will Evans and a handful of those boys that I’ve played football with since a young age,” he said.

“That was obviously super appealing to train hard with those lads and to keep playing footy with them.”
Edwards is on the comeback trail from a broken arm as he prepares for his final year of schoolboy footy at PBC.
He hopes to get the chance to work with Titans NRL rakes Nathan Peats and Mitch Rein at some point to continue his learning curve.
“Mitch Rein, I see him around the gym a fair bit when I’m up there training, he is always coming up and saying g’day and being super friendly so it has been good, those boys making you feel welcome in the Titans,” Edwards said.
That is very good news Bods. Peats coming off contract in a couple of years. Nice forward planning from the club
Can someone confirm that we now have 3 places to fill in the top 3 now that Boyle has left. I don’t mind waiting for the right players etc but surely with 3 less player at the minute it certainly tests the depth available.

Well Elgey sure hasn't lit the world on fire since leaving. He's just been dropped for Croker today but with DCE's injury he'll probably come back into the team next week.
Really starting to regret letting go of Burr. He is proving to be a great buy now for the Warriors. Just had to get those errors out of his game and he has (for now).

We have 27/30 listed on NRL.com but that has boyle listed too so i dont know how many spots have changed 2019_squads_titans.jpg
I'm hearing (through my own ears via Channel 9 news) that Nikorima has likely played his last game for the Broncs and that he's headed to the Warriors. For all his faults I'd be happier if he headed down here and Ash went through Border Security, New Zealand bound.
Not going to happen but I’d try and offload Taylor to the Drongoes and get back in return either Roberts/Deardon or Roberts/Nikorima
All 3 have ties to the GC
