It's pretty hard to express the feeling from the Titans camp. The well-documented crap we've had to put with over the years off the field and on the field seem never-ending.

First Searle, then Searle's whipping boys May and now Annesley have perfected the ostrich strategy … well when the administration sticks its head in the ground with its tail in the air every time somebody farts then for sure the players will eventually see that pink puckered sphincter for what it is and drive one home for the gipper.

Cartwright would never say it but the whole goddamned rest of the world knew that his bad-boy rehabilitation plan involved little training, no commitment and a lot of dollars. The fallout continues.

I just hope that sanity prevails and the exodus of the twats from the club continues … if we can still hold on to the cub.

Feel for you guys because so much of the damage is being done off the field.

Was at the Titans first game against the Dragons at Suncorp. Despite the loss it was a great day and everyone really got behind the Titans. So sad how shits fallen apart.

I hope the NRL don't give up on the coast. Their were (still are?) rumours about Bird and Myles looking elsewhere this off season. At this point I'd say "f**k it" let them leave, get rid of anyone involved in this off field nonsense, even if you essentially have to concede that you're getting the spoon because of fielding a bunch of youngsters.

Outside of actually folding/relocating, this is pretty much rock bottom. Might as well cleanse the place and start the rebuild.

That's for the NRL to decide. Until they get it right?

For what it's worth I think long term it would be better to base them in the Southern corridor area, Ipswich/Logan or wherever they're looking at. Get set up with feeder clubs, invest properly in junior development, community engagement and genuinely make an area theirs.

I don't believe all the "but we can't abandon the Gold Coast". The Gold Coast will always be what it is, and football (of any description) will never be the priority.

Having said that, if the Titans can be saved then by all means, no fan should have to go through having their team ripped from them (even if it is what's best for the long term).

As many times it takes. You don't just give up at the first sign of trouble.

The Sharks, Tigers, Warriors and Cowboys wouldn't exist if that was the attitude.

Shit half the Sydney teams would be gone by loan, if they shut up shop at the first signs of trouble.

Why would another area support a relocated Titans with all their baggage. Leave them on the coast and hopefully they can sort their shit out and everything is on the up from here.

I'm not talking about the Titans making a decision to move, I'm talking about if the NRL decide to do that. It would mean rebranding, new people in charge, clean slate etc. they wouldn't be the Titans.

Forget the faking titans.
While our code wastes millions every year trying to rebuild a faking sinkin ship every year, we have millions missing out.
For fakes sake grow our cities of millions, forget about the faking tourist strip, it will bring you nothing but faking heartacke and cost you 10 faking years of wasted life.

worst part about this is the knobs on twitter pretending to be in the know and trying to big note themselves by dragging out a tired old bs rumour based on a guys voice.
