The Gold Coast had a team from 1988 to 1998, playing under various names and having to play in NSW to avoid complying with a licence agreement the Brisbane Broncos had. It didn't work but not for the lack of trying. Fast forward a decade and a new Gold Coast team emerged, the Titans. After a season, they got a nice new stadium and the first four years were successful.
Coach John Cartwright had a decent spell at the club, 186 matches in all, and yes, a club record so far at least. They collected their first of two wooded spoons in 2011. He tended his resignation in 2014 and Neil Henry replaced him. A mixed few years ended with his sacking with issues with some of the senior players at the end of his tenure.
Garth Brennan stepped up to the plate but things didn't go well for him. A poor 2018, followed by the club's second wooden spoon led to his departure. Justin Holbrook arrived in 2020 after a successful time at St Helens in England. The transition from a top side to one struggling was a challenge but the first two seasons brought a definite improvement in finishing 9th. It hasn't gone so well since and Jim Lenihan has taken over. All the best with this task Jim.
