(the optimist in me says maybe their move away from Sky Blue is strategic in distancing themselves from the NSW look)

What can else can they base their jersey on, green for the pool of vomit schoolies leave behind, rainbow for the tourists and whatever colour dementia is for the retirees that live there?

Has any club benefitted from a person in a role like this? You could argue Bennett at NZ. My SL club tried this and brought in Jamie peacock for three years, we were still sht and from what I could see we got little benefit from it. Salford tried it with Sheens and we’re still sht. Anyone had success with a “mentor” in the nrl?

Cant hurt having the Kangaroos coach on staff when it comes to star player recruitment. Mal is good at pulling together a team and creating a culture so good move by Titans.

Lol wut?

Was he not stood down and forced to relinquish the captaincy?
Yes he was.

But Mal selected a dumb merkin who hits the piss with his mates then gets into his car and drives to be Australian captain.

Great judgement Mal.

Great judgement.

Why does the colour need to be representitive of the area. Most teams just pick the best colours and MAKE them representitive of the area.

Really though, if i am right about them trying to move away from the Sky Blue/NSW look, the Gold would be better to focus on than Navy blue.

When Mal selected him, to Mal's knowledge, he hadn't done that.

(and I'm not defending GI for one second)

To pin that on Mal is a bit harsh.

your going to be hard pressed to guarantee a player isn’t going to be a merkin at some point, unless we bring smith and Cronk out of retirement.

Hopefully it works out better than the Titans Centre of Excellence.

Btw what culture is on the Gold Coast apart from surfing, retirement and casinos.

This is why I have always believed that sport and the Gold Coast doesn't work

This just tells me people on the GC have a lot of free time...

The Titans have just failed miserably to figure out what the local culture is and connect with it. They try to pull off this gimmicky shit each year instead of developing any actual substance or club culture.

What can else can they base their jersey on, green for the pool of vomit schoolies leave behind, rainbow for the tourists and whatever colour dementia is for the retirees that live there?

maybe they could do red and white...

Great news

1st thing the Titans need to do is work out what your identity is
That starts with a kit / colour scheme you can agree on

Come on Mal, sort em out
for all of Phil Gould's intelligence this is the one thing he has yet to work out with the Panthers. Someone tell me what are the clubs colors. Brown? Pink? Liquorice all sorts ? Black ? Add the Warriors to that lot. Some administrators simply have no f**king idea.

I am more dirty on him staying in the centres and not having a go in the forwards :)

Have you heard Inglis try to compose a sentence containing words of more than 2 syllables? and that was Mal's choice of Captain ? Wow, just wow. I was just shaking my head when it was announced and not at all surprised about the DUI. Gobsmacked big Mal stated publicly he would support an Inglis Captains candidacy at a later stage - no way to build a culture. .
