    That would be the perfect with Cameron moving in to a coaching role in 2022 when we get Brandon. Trump looks more likely to win in the next month then 2024 unless you watch all the propaganda on the MSM.

    I’m a bit surprised how much the forum has exploded over an email with us not in it.
    I’m not buying these theories.
    Just seems a bit suss don't you think mate that we were left off of the email list? Literally every single other club was sent the information except us.

    To me either they know C Smith is coming to us, we have already offered B Smith a big deal or it is quite embarrassing and we are an easily forgotten club...not good news for us if we are literally the only team to be forgotten

    If Cam plays for us, surely it would be one season only. That would dovetail nicely with Brandon coming in 2022 and Cam transitioning to an assistant coaching role. More 72D chess from Meninga.

    I'd probably take McInnes over B Smith in 2021. Smith will be looking for a premium at the moment and can probably command one. Mcinnes you might have a better chance of picking up for market value if the Titans do well this year.

    Few rumours on the Bulldogs forum that they've signed Brian Kelly for 2022.

    Then again, they're also fairly certain they've signed Brandon Smith, Kotoni Staggs and Jesus Christ himself so I wouldn't read into it too much. Tbaz is apparently the new Bellamy in terms of player appeal despite having not coached a single game yet.

    I won't read into it, but Brian Kelly is an absolute must retain for us, without Kelly we lose half the games we won this season

    Gold Coast Titans: Position switch unlocks the door for Cameron Smith signing

    TANAH Boyd is the little-known 20-year-old Titans utility who could hold the key to completing the Gold Coast’s roster puzzle for 2021. His positional switch has created a space for Cameron Smith.

    TANAH Boyd is the little-known 20-year-old Titans utility who could hold the key to completing the Gold Coast’s roster puzzle for 2021.

    The NRL club’s dearth of talent at hooker in 2020 forced the lightweight playmaker into a foreign role as an interchange dummy-half, after signing with the club as a national title-winning halfback at Keebra Park in 2017.

    Boyd earned the respect of coaches for the spark he brought to the team but was always a square peg adapting into a round hole.

    His hooker experiment now appears to have passed its used-by date, with the young halfback returning to his natural position to understudy presumptive Titans skipper Jamal Fogarty during the pre-season.

    “Last year was just that we needed someone in that spot to come on and bring that energy,” Boyd said.

    “That was kind of last year. I’m just training at half at the moment. I love playing half and I’ll keep working at that.

    ”We’ll see how I go and if I play that No.14 role again I’ll do it. That’s up to Justin (Holbrook).”

    Boyd’s departure from the club’s hooker equation has created a vacancy for an experienced rake to complete the Titans’ top 30 squad.

    The Titans have signed 29 players to their NRL contingent for next season but only two specialist hookers, Mitch Rein and Erin Clark, are among that number.

    A team source confirmed the club had the flexibility to restructure their salary cap if it meant finding a place for Cameron Smith.

    The Storm skipper is an NRL free agent after relocating to the Gold Coast and is still yet to confirm his intentions for 2021.

    Coach Holbrook confirmed the Titans were also “looking into” signing fellow Storm hooker Brandon Smith, after the Kiwi international secured a release from his contract from 2022.

    “It’s all up in the air at the moment,” Boyd said of the hooker position, and the possibility of a new recruit joining the group.

    “We’ve got an experienced hooker in Mitch Rein, he’s been playing for a long time now.

    “But yeah, if someone comes in they come in. I’m just focusing on playing half.”

    Boyd’s position shift could have a further ripple effect through the Titans roster.

    With reigning State of Origin champion lock Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Herman Ese’ese pressing their claims for the No.13 jersey, incumbent Tyrone Peachey appears set to return to the interchange bench as a utility, potentially freeing Boyd to continue his development as the club’s second-choice halfback.

    Boyd said his taste of life in the firing line in midfield had been beneficial to his development as a player.

    “The experience has given me confidence,” Boyd said.

    “It was pretty hard at first, being in the middle where they’re just coming at you constantly, and the back-to-back efforts were pretty tough to get used to.

    “The hardest thing was going from defence to attack straight away.

    “Towards the end I started to get more comfortable and it was all right. I used it as a learning experience.

    “I understand the game more now because I know what the forwards are going through and how hard they’re working.”

    The kilograms of muscle Boyd has packed on over the off-season have brought him closer to the generous 86kg mark he was listed in the matchday programs.

    Adding power and speed are important by-products of his physical development but Boyd’s key target is developing his game management skill.

    He has found a fine mentor for that in Fogarty.

    “I love working with Jamal,” Boyd said.

    “He’s the ultimate professional and I get along real good with him.

    “He’s always talking to me and encouraging me to be a leader, and sharing how he sees the game and thinks about the game.

    “He’s awesome at that.”

    Yeah why would we let go of our best outside back? Real stupid if true.

    It's a tough one. I'd be devo if we lost BK but spending large on a centre isn't the way to challenge for a premiership. Look at Melbourne, Penrith (Crichtons new contract will obviously change that), Canberra...i'll conveniently ignore the Roosters because their entire roster is jacked.

    I'd hope we retain him because he's an important part of our team but unfortunately I can see him receiving bigger offers elsewhere. Whether or not he pursues those is a different question.

    Brian Kelly has signed on again with the Titans till the end of 2023

    Great news

    - - - Updated - - -

    Here is the Brian Kelly signing news



    Titans strike centre Brian Kelly has committed to the Club in a deal that will see him remain on the Gold Coast until the end of 2023.

    One of the most exciting attacking players in the game, Kelly developed his game in 2020 under the guidance of Justin Holbrook in a season that saw him win the Paul Broughton Medal as Club Best and Fairest.

    The 24-year-old from Ballina played 16 games in 2020, scoring six tries.

    “I think it is fantastic news for our Club that Brian Kelly is going to continue his career here,” Justin Holbrook said.

    “It’s great having a young player that grew up in Northern New South Wales, in Ballina.

    “It means a lot to him to stay at this Club and it means a lot to us to keep him here.

    “He’s shown in particular last season what a strike centre he is, one of the best in the competition, and I think it is just awesome for myself that BK is staying here and it is great news for all of our fans.”

    Kelly says he wants to continue to improve his game under the Titans coaching staff.

    “I think Justin and my relationship is building and he just wants the best for me,” Kelly said.

    “I get along with him really well and having the new (high performance) staff there as well, I believe they are going to get the best out of me and I can’t wait (for 2021).”
