Gold Coast endured a rotten season that ended in them narrowly avoiding the dreaded wooden spoon, while Des Hasler was shown the exit door.
The Titans announced the end of Hasler's two-year reign just a few weeks before the end of the campaign after months of speculation about the veteran coach's future.
Josh Hannay was quickly announced as his successor and the rookie coach will have his work cut out for him as he attempts to drag the perennial underachievers up the ladder in 2026 while completing a clean-out.
