The season is finally here. Transfers for 2023 are all but complete, squads are full and it's time for the on-field action to finally take over again.
Some clubs will be happy with their results, others not so much, and others barely needed to be touched during the most recently completed off-season.
For this list, the grades have been ranked from A+ being perfect business, to E being the worst possible business. Taken into account is the gains and losses for the 2023 season, as well as contract re-signings and holding onto key talent.
6. Gold Coast Titans: C
2023 gains: Jacob Alick (2024), Kieran Foran (Manly Sea Eagles, 2024), Chris Randall (Newcastle Knights, 2024), Aaron Schoupp (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, 2025), Joe Stimson (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, 2024), Sam Verrills (Sydney Roosters, 2024), Thomas Weaver (2024)
2023 losses: Herman Ese'ese (The Dolphins), Jamayne Isaako (The Dolphins), Sam Lisone (Leeds Rhinos), Esan Marsters (Huddersfield Giants), Greg Marzhew (Newcastle Knights), Kevin Proctor (Wakefield Trinity), Will Smith (Wests Tigers), Corey Thompson (retired), Paul Turner (St George Illawarra Dragons), Jarrod Wallace (The Dolphins)
Re-signed: Erin Clark (2025), Tino Fa'asuamaleaui (2026), Beau Fermor (2026), Jojo Fifita (2025), Sam McIntyre (2023), Phillip Sami (2024)
The Titans are set for a hard 2023 losing some decent players. Greg Marzhew, Jarrod Wallace and Jamayne Isaako will all be key outgoings.
Likewise, with the outgoings, the Titans have acquired some decent talent.
The experience of Kieran Foran and the addition of players who will benefit with more playing time such as Chris Randall, Aaron Schoupp, Joe Stimson and Sam Verrills could turn out to be great additions.
The biggest re-signings for the Titans is the extensions of Phillip Sami (2024), Tino Fa'asuamaleaui (2026), and Beau Fermor (2026).
