    He was my mum's favourite and I grew to love him too. He always was a hard chaser too. He led by example.

    We did and it was a reputation we had among the NRL fan-bases for a short time...

    Image quality is a bit low so it's hard to read. Any chance you could upload a higher res version please?

    Imagine the credibility this is building with potential new signings.

    When it’s over if this remains the case and there’s no layoffs and no pay cuts can you imagine the morale and sense of purpose that will permeate our entire staff as a unit?

    These one trick ponies have no idea how lucky they are ... I wouldn't back any of them except the locals and "up & comers" to recognise their good fortune.

    Yeah Titanic I’m referring to the staff and not the playing group.
    I have not much respect for our current playing group other than a few exceptions.

    Absolutely mate. I imagine there would be quite a bit of appreciation and inspiration to do right by the club.

    NRL clubs may be in financial trouble and facing extinction... but the Titans aren’t one
    https://www.foxsports.com.au

    The Gold Coast Titans announced on Monday most of their staff will be stood down without pay, another sign of how much NRL clubs are struggling financially through this period of non-competition.

    The Titans will keep a skeleton crew on 50 per cent remuneration, head coach Justin Holbrook and culture chief Mal Meninga included.

    Executive chairman Dennis Watt said it was tough decision but the right one.

    “The club kept all staff employed on full pay up until last Friday. We waited for funding terms between the NRL, clubs and players to be finalised before we made any big calls. Once that was done, we acted responsibly and compassionately. The goal is to have all our staff back in their jobs once the crisis is over,” Watt said.

    The Titans are one of few clubs where this may be possible.

    Over the last few years, owners Rebecca Frizelle and Daryl Kelly have worked hard to take unnecessary costs out of the business.

    The Titans have the lowest spend of any club in football operations, meaning the largesse predicted to fall out of many clubs, simply doesn’t exist at the Gold Coast.

    “I’ve worked with a lot of clever, successful people, inside and outside of rugby league,” Watt said.

    “Rebecca and Daryl are as good as any of them. Both know and understand the flow of money, how to make it, how to manage it, and that’s why the Titans are well placed to negotiate our way through these tough times.”

    The club has planned for multiple scenarios, including no football being played in 2020, and is extremely confident it can survive all.

    Gold Coast Titans Continue Support Of Staff
    http://www.titans.com.au

    The Gold Coast Titans will access the Australian Government’s Job Keeper wage subsidies and the Queensland Government’s payroll tax concessions to support Club staff temporarily stood down during the COVID-19 pandemic and suspension of the 2020 NRL Telstra Premiership season.

    From Monday 6 April, the Club will adjust its operational requirements, retaining a skeleton staff to keep the business functioning until the NRL season and normal business trading resume later in the year.

    Announcing the temporary adjustment today, Titans Chief Executive Steve Mitchell said the move was a critical step in ensuring the Club would be ready to resume full-time operations when the NRL season restarted.

    “Today is a difficult day in a lot of respects, but these decisions have been made to minimise the impact on our passionate and hard-working staff, and to bring further surety to the Titans as the NRL and the nation navigate these unchartered waters,” Mitchell said.

    “The Club’s owners and board have delayed making this decision until all of the options were explored, and implications analysed.

    “The Federal Government’s Job Keeper subsidy, and the support from the Queensland Government through Payroll Tax initiatives have enabled the Club to make this decision to ensure the impact on our staff is reduced as much as possible and ensure their jobs will be here to return to.

    “Additional leave entitlements will also be available to staff, allowing them to subsidise the benefits being provided by the Australian Government.

    “Every available avenue for support will be made available to our staff during this period to help them manage what is obviously a major and distressing time in their lives.

    “But our staff know this situation is not unique to the Titans. They understand the turmoil that is going on at every club in the NRL, and in industries around the world.

    “And while a stand-down period is painful, it is also temporary. We look forward to all of our staff reuniting to continue the NRL season in the near future.”
