i wanted the Gold Coast Gunners

Doctor Death wanted that name too! gunna do this, gunna do that.

He has seemed to dropped off the planet right after the Gold Coast was granted entry to the NRL for 2007. Sucked in Doctor Death!

To be honest I would have perferred something a little more australian. I loved Dolphins but oh well. We will have to wait for redcliffe to join the NRL in 2060 but by that time Redcliffe will be Brisbane Norths therefore North Bris Dolphins for 2060!.

My previous post was a joke.

titan definition

Ti·tan (ttn)
n.
1. Greek Mythology One of a family of giants, the children of Uranus and Gaea, who sought to rule heaven and were overthrown and supplanted by the family of Zeus.
2. titan One of prodigious size, strength, or achievement: "the twin titans of the beverage industry" David Barboza.
3. The largest satellite of Saturn and the 11th in distance from the planet. It is the second largest satellite in the solar system.


Has no relevance to "america"

The GC Giants were a huge success so I'm sure the Titans will follow in the same vein. :lol:

 

[aussies1st]

The Titans sounds interesting.

Fair enough, you are right about people whinging about it.

GC Titans is a great name and rolls off the tongue nicely.

Would the "Titans" have been a suggestion had it not all ready existed in a sporting franchise?....Food for thought.....
and I think not.
