History

In some ways the Titans took over from where the Gold Coast-Tweed Giants / Gold Coast Seagulls / Gold Coast Chargers left off as the former club existed between 1988 – 1998 but as you can tell from the number of name changes, the former Gold Coast based professional rugby league side struggled for stability.

Upon joining the NRL in 2007 as a totally new club after a number of trial matches proved successful in terms of local interest and in important people involved in the sport wanting a team base din the rapidly growing region.

For their inaugural season, the club played at the Carrara Stadium and attracted good attendance although their first ever game was moved to Suncorp Stadium is Brisbane as 42,000 saw them lose to their rivals.

In 2009, they moved into their great home venue in Robina before a successful 2009 season that was them reach the end of season finals for the first time before achieving the same feat in 2010.

Unfortunately, a large number of players left the club and in 2011, they achieved a new first but this time it was their first wooden spoon after finish last in the table.

Although they didn’t finish last again until 2019, things did get worse for the fledgling club as they suffered a number of on the field and off of the field issues include salary cap breaches that led to the NRL having to take over the club.

This period saw lots of change with high earning and under-performing players leaving and younger and hungrier players coming in and that helped them to turn around their on the field performances and they once again reached the end of season finals.

In 2019, the club announced the signing of St Helens head coach Justin Holbrook who brought a new winning attitude and a new level of professionalism to the club and that has seen them become a stronger force on the field.

That has also seen them attract new eyes from over here as British fans who like the way Holbrook had the Saints playing have taken notice of the improving Titans.

Down the years the club have had a number of stars represent them including the likes of Australian internationals Luke Bailey, Greg Bird, Nate Myles, Scott Prince and Anthony Laffranchi.

Cook Island star Dominique Peyroux and Brad Takairangi, Fiji star Jarryd Hayne, Italian international Mark Minichiello, Papua New Guinea stars David Mead and Nene McDonald, Samoa star Sam Tagataese, Tonga representative Konrad Hurrell and New Zealand Kiwis Jake Webster and Kevin Proctor.

The club have utilised a number of feeder clubs during their history to take advantage of the huge number of rugby league players in the south Brisbane / Queensland region including the likes of the Tweed Heads Seagulls, the Burleigh Bears and the Ipswich Jets.
