According to channel 7 news (Chris Garry) the shortlist is down to Walters, Griffin and Holbrook. O’Brien and Fitzgibbon yet to apply. Titans want to make a decision within next 2-3 weeks.
Massive props to Toovey for sticking up for us on Controversy Corner tonight. Had that bumbling idiot Dean Richie basically suggesting we pack up and move to Redcliffe while Toovey stuck solid and defended us stating the Gold Coast has one of the largest growing populations in Oz, there's great talent here, great juniors and that it just needs to be nurtured.
After the top 5 capital cities we are 6th population wise, by a long way too i believe. They have screws loose to ever relocate this team before getting some success and seeing how the city reacts
As of the 2016 Census the Gold Coast / Tweed City have a population of 600 335. Throw in the other areas around those two cities there could up around that 750 K mark in population. The nearest to us is Canberra at 431 668 . According to the World population review GC population in 2035 will reach 820 000.
So with these numbers the NRL would not want to loose this market at all....

walkers will be bridesmaids.
holbrook no 1 choice
griffin 2nd (to develop juniors while we throw all money at the great bellamy)
to all those that poo poo the bellamy talk. i have it from a nrl affiliated employee that cameron runs the storm interchange as much as bellamy does, cam is readying himself for life post football and i reckon he will interview and go into coaching the storm as straight up HC or a years "apprenticeship" with bellamy. then belly is free to return to his home state where he has big family ties in the SEQ region.
Anyone know if we have interviewed anyone yet or when the interview process starts?
Can't see why they would put the Walkers on the list of people to interview.
Hopefully it is not a stuff up like last time where we interview a number of people including Michael McGuire and they were planning to go with the Walkers or one other nobody. Then they get overrode by the current owners to pick Brennan who was never interviewed at all. What a shambles that process was and how the hell did the group picking the coach overlook McGuire and planned to go with the Walkers. We can't afford to have these type of stuff up's this time.
