Overview

• Des Hasler has been sacked and Queensland assistant Josh Hannay has been appointed on a three-year deal to take over from 2026.
• Tino Fa’asuamaleaui called for the entire organisation to be scrutinised, noting only coaches have been held to account during years of poor results.
• Fa’asuamaleaui can speak to rivals from November 1 for 2027, says his preference is to stay, and has already spoken with Hannay about the path forward.
• CEO Steve Mitchell confirmed a comprehensive roster review and recruitment push to rebalance the squad, as the Titans sit last with the league’s worst defence.
• David Fifita has permission to talk to other clubs, South Sydney are in discussions for 2026, and Perth Bears coach Mal Meninga says he will pitch to Fa’asuamaleaui when the market opens.
