The 2015 Gold Coast Titans season was the 9th in the club's history. Coached by Neil Henry and captained by Nate Myles, they competed in the NRL's 2015 Telstra Premiership. Gold Coast finished the regular season in 14th (out of 16) and failed to qualify for the finals for the fifth consecutive year.
Season summary
[edit]On 12 December 2014, Greg Bird was axed as co-captain and fined $15,000 by the club after he was issued with a criminal infringement notice for urinating in public.[1] Paul Carter had his contract terminated by the club after his second drink-driving offence in a year.[2]
In late February 2015, five players were stood down by the Titans after being charged and issued with notices to appear in court in relation to drug offences by Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission. The players were Greg Bird (two counts of supplying a dangerous drug), Jamie Dowling (seven counts of possession and two counts of supplying a dangerous drug), Kalifa Faifai Loa (one count of supplying a dangerous drug), Beau Falloon (four counts of supplying a dangerous drug) and Dave Taylor (One count of possession and one count of supplying a dangerous drug).[3][4] Ex-Titans Ashley Harrison (two counts of supplying a dangerous drug), Steve Michaels (10 counts of supplying a dangerous drug) and Joe Vickery (seven counts of supplying a dangerous drug) were also charged and issued with notices to appear in court.[5]
The charges against Bird, Falloon, Harrison and Fai Fai Loa were later dismissed due to insufficient evidence however Dowling, Taylor and Vickery were committed to stand trial against the charges.[6]
On 23 February 2015, the football club was placed in voluntary administration and their licence terminated by the NRL after the Board conceded the club could no longer meet its financial obligations, including staff and player salaries.[7] The NRL assumed full ownership of the Gold Coast Titans however Chairwoman Rebecca Frizelle, Directors Darryl Kelly and Paul Donovan remain on the board, with CEO Graham Annesley also remaining in his role.
In November 2015, the club announced the addition of four new independent Board members; Tony Hickey (Founder and Managing Partner, Hickey Lawyers); Trish Hogan (CEO, Pindara Private Hospital); Professor Ned Pankhurst (Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor, Griffith University); and Lynne Anderson (CEO, Australian Paralympic Committee).[8]
On 6 March 2015, it was announced Daly Cherry-Evans had signed a four-year, $4 million deal to play with the Titans starting in 2016.[9] Cherry-Evans later reneged on the deal to remain with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles on a $10 million contract extension.[10]
