Titans Roster Uncertainty Deepens After Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui Exit as Tino Links Denied
November 1 remains the key date when rival clubs can formally approach the Titans captain.
Overview
- Catalans Dragons confirmed a two-year deal from 2026 for Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui, ending his stint at the Gold Coast.
- Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's manager, Simon Mammino, said there has been no contact with the Melbourne Storm or any club and called early talk premature.
- Storm coach Craig Bellamy said he only learned of the links this week, welcomed the idea in principle, and questioned whether the club could fit Tino under the salary cap.
- Tino is on a long-term Titans contract reportedly through 2033 that includes get-out clauses, allowing formal rival approaches from November 1 and a potential exit in 2027.
- Separate reports state David Fifita has been granted permission to negotiate with rivals, while coach Des Hasler maintains he is contracted and voiced confidence in Tino staying.
