Overview

  • Des Hasler will coach the final two regular-season games before leaving despite having a year remaining on his contract.
  • Gold Coast are last on the NRL ladder and face the Dolphins and Tigers as they try to avoid the wooden spoon.
  • Josh Hannay, 45, has signed a three-year deal to take over after completing Cronulla’s 2025 finals campaign.
  • The Titans reshaped their football department, with Scott Sattler returning as director of football and Anthony Laffranchi moving to head of recruitment.
  • Club leaders said locking in Hannay now is intended to steady the squad and support retention of key players such as Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, who face looming contract decisions.
