TEST star Dave Taylor is still yet to sign a contract with the Titans as uncertainty around the club's future continues to stall negotiations.
The Titans spruiked the signing of Taylor - who will make his Australia debut on Friday - on March 19 following the South Sydney giant's man of the match performance against Penrith.
Days later it emerged Taylor hadn't officially inked the deal and only held a verbal agreement with the Gold Coast club.
Taylor's contract can't be registered with the NRL until after round 13 but the Queensland Origin forward is yet to officially sign any paperwork.
READ THE FULL STORY HERE.
Taylor's hesitance comes after Melbourne and Australian halfback Cooper Cronk backed out of a massive four-year deal with the Titans as speculation struck the club.
Taylor's manager, Col Davis, declined to comment yesterday but it is understood that his star client is holding out for the club and Australian Rugby League Commission to shed some light on the Titans' future.
The big backrower wants to sign with Gold Coast and isn't negotiating with other clubs but the former Bronco is chasing assurances of the Titans' existence beyond this year.
If he pulls out of his deal with the Titans, Parra should go after him, BIG TIME. We should have the bucks to make a decent offer.
I think he is what may be missing at the moment, among other things.
We don't have a big, wide running second rower.
Fui is doing is his best in that role at the moment, i have no doubt he will get better the more time he spends out there but he who knows when he will call it quits.
Taylor is still young and i think his best footy is ahead of him.
