Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2881112, member: 1899"] In November of 2016, the Gold Coast Titans thought all their Christmas' had come at once. After years of off-field drama they had finally freed themselves of Greg Bird and replaced him with Kiwi International Kevin Proctor. It was a homecoming of sorts for Proctor who had been a star junior on the Coast, but little did the Gold Coast know what laid ahead. A series of injuries kept Proctor from playing his best football, but of concern was Proctor's drug bust following the Australia vs New Zealand test match. While Proctor took his punishment like a man, the incident exposed Proctor's mind-set and just how little he was taking his career seriously. For a guy that was supposed to usher in a new era at the Gold Coast, so far it seems like more of the same old shit. Sticking with the Gold Coast Titans and after signing the likes of Ash Taylor, Nathan Peats & Konrad Hurrell many thought their fortunes were about to change. However there was one signing that confused even the most ardent of Gold Coast's supporters - Wigan Warrior's centre Dan Sarginson. Playing more like a wide running second row, Sarginson enjoyed reasonable success in the English Super League where he went onto represent England in the Four Nations. However, Dan never appeared to have the necessary skills or attributes to make it in the NRL, a lesson Gold Coast supporters learned relatively quickly during a frustrating run of 5 games that may rank right up there as some of the worst performances on the Gold Coast. As easy as it is to blame everything on Hayne, some of these signing decisions highlight just how deep these issues really are. Here are a few 'didn't even make the grade' signings. Players that had a reasonable shot of playing first grade, but didn't feature at all when it was all said and done. Jordan Turner - Canberra Raiders Manaia Cherrington - Cronulla Sharks/Warriors Liam Knight - Sydney Roosters/Canberra Raiders Rory Kostjasyn - Newcastle Knights Richard Kennar - Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs George Jennings - Parramatta Eels Jonathan Wright - Manly Sea Eagles Jack Williams - Cronulla Sharks Mitchell Dodds - Brisbane Broncos [/QUOTE]
