    Sharks have released Holmes to pursue NFL

    I’m a bit nervous that there will now be a domino affect that hurts our ability to strengthen our squad.

    Yes you're right Bodsie, Wilbur has been offered the Sharks #1 jersey to come out of retirement.

    On the bigger scale it makes a mockery of any NRL contract. Either the NRL start bringing in sanctions for those that choose to break contracts - as in an X year ban on returning to the NRL, otherwise what value do they actually provide any club?

    He spoke with sharks and they released him out of his final year on good will. He can't play for any other team in 2019 except the sharks. Also they were very well within their right to say no, play this final year but no point having him stay if his heart's already with his NFL dream.

    I'm with you but from the clubs point of view....buyers remorse, we didn't realise you were terrible so we are tearing up your contract.

    The problem can never be solved when there are painless, seamless alternatives such as French, Nippon, Oz Yawnion etc ... those pariahs will take anybody ... I'm surprised Smith and Warner haven't got a gig.

    Here it is:

    Gold Coast’s recruitment drive has been exceptional with their new-look roster looking far superior heading into the 2019 season.

    Garth Brennan has sured up his defensive unit immensely, while adding plenty of strike-power in key positions.
    Here’s how the Titans roster is shaping up ahead of the upcoming NRL season.
    Full squad

    1. Jai Arrow, 2. Jesse Arthars, 3. Shannon Boyd, 4. Morgan Boyle, 5. Alexander Brimson, 6. Bryce Cartwright, 7. Dale Copley, 8. Anthony Don, 9. Moeaki Fotuaika, 10. Michael Gordon, 11. Keegan Hipgrave, 12. Ryley Jacks, 13. Ryan James, 14. Max King, 15. Leilani Latu, 16. Brenko Lee, 17. Will Matthews, 18. Tyrone Peachey, 19. Nathan Peats, 20. Kevin Proctor, 21. Tyrone Roberts, 22. Mitchell Rein, 23. Phillip Sami, 24. Jack Stockwell, 25. Ashley Taylor, 26. Jarrod Wallace, 27. Jai Whitbread, 28. Brian Kelly
    Ins
    Brian Kelly (Manly Sea Eagles, 2021), Jesse Arthars (South Sydney Rabbitohs, 2019), Shannon Boyd (Canberra Raiders, 2022), Ryley Jacks (Melbourne Storm, 2019), Tyrone Peachey (Penrith Panthers, 2021), Tyrone Roberts (Warrington Wolves, 2020)
    Outs
    Kane Elgey (Manly Sea Eagles), Brendan Elliot (Manly Sea Eagles), Joe Greenwood (Wigan Warriors), Konrad Hurrell (Leeds Rhinos), Ryan Simpkins (retired)
    Best 17

    1. AJ Brimson, 2. Anthony Don, 3. Tyrone Peachey, 4. Brian Kelly, 5. Phillip Sami, 6. Tyrone Roberts, 7. Ash Taylor, 8. Ryan James, 9. Nathan Peats, 10. Jarrod Wallace, 11. Kevin Proctor, 12. Keegan Hipgrave, 13. Jai Arrow. Interchange: 14. Mitch Rein, 15. Shannon Boyd, 16. Moeaki Fotuaika, 17. Bryce Cartwright
    Recruitment strength

    Despite fairly limited movement, the Titans appear big winners on the recruitment front. Tyrone Peachey’s versatility will prove invaluable given the relative lack of depth in the squad. Shannon Boyd is a query at the generous price tag, but could be a masterstroke should he return to the form that saw him selected for the Kangaroos in 2016. Kane Elgey and Konrad Hurrell possess plenty of quality, but their defensive lapses in an already leaky unit won’t be missed. Brian Kelly is the most recent purchase and could prove the pick of the bunch.

    Forwards

    The pack is shaping up nicely with a host of big men coming into the prime of their careers. The addition of Boyd and the promising Moeaki Fotuaika off the bench bodes well up front. Bryce Cartwright is the real x-factor in the pack but is coming off the most disappointing season of his career. On all reports he’s returned to pre-season in great shape. If Cartwright can rediscover the form of his youth and lock in a spot on the right-edge, the Titans pack will be hard to fault.
    Backs
    Tyrone Peachey will likely start at centre which should sure up their brittle edge defence that was exposed so regularly last season. The ageing Michael Gordon was one of the Titans’ best last season at fullback, but does he earn a place on the wing with AJ Brimson likely to start in the custodian role? Brian Kelly is an exceptional signing after a stellar season with Manly last year. Phillip Sami looks a real star of the future coming off a breakout season.
    Spine
    Best mates Ash Taylor and Tyrone Roberts will likely start in the halves. Hopefully the latter can get the best out of Taylor, who really is the major key to the Titans’ success in 2019. A fully fit Nathan Peats can return to the heights that saw him play Origin in 2017, while AJ Brimson has all the talent in the world but is still largely inexperienced. The spine have played very little football together due to a number of reasons, hopefully they can forge a strong combination early in the year. Ryley Jacks and Mitch Rein will prove invaluable back-ups should injuries strike.
    What they’re lacking
    The obvious issue is the right edge back-row role which could be given to any number of candidates. The likes of Cartwright, Keegan Hipgrave and Will Matthews are in the running to fill the position in round one. Cartwright’s form last season was poor, Hipgrave is a livewire with a discipline issues, while Matthews is the most reliable of the three but is constantly injured and lacks any major attacking threat. If somebody is able to put their hand up and earn the spot on the regular it’ll save Garth Brennan plenty of selection headaches.

    The amount of positives our club has had prior to this season is just awesome.
    We always live in hope, which is often blown before a ball is kicked, but this year is now being strengthened by the administrative signings and a bloody great recruiting drive.

    Can’t say I’ve ever felt so good about where we are as a club at the moment.
