The Gold Coast Titans, despite coaching changes, strive for grit under new coach Josh Hannay's accountability-focused approach.
The Gold Coast Titans are the NRL's ultimate version of Groundhog Day.
Every November, the "Year Zero" siren sounds, new coach arrives on the Glitter Strip with a whistle and a clipboard. But as Josh Hannay unpacks his bags, the question isn't whether the sun will shine on the Coast - it's whether this roster is finally ready to get dirty.
Hannay arrives fresh from the 'Billy Slater School' of high-performance coaching. He brings a blueprint of accountability that, frankly, others have brought before him. In 2026, the only currency that matters is grit.
Note: Mick Crawley is a former attack coach for the Canberra Raiders.
