In a stunning and unexpected development that has rocked the National Rugby League (NRL) community, Gold Coast Titans head coach Josh Hannay has officially tendered his resignation, stepping down from his position with immediate effect.

The announcement came late this afternoon in a brief club statement confirming that Hannay — who only recently took the helm ahead of the 2026 season — had chosen to vacate his coaching post. The decision is understood to be of a deeply personal nature, leaving fans and pundits alike scrambling for clarity on the club’s next direction.

In an equally dramatic twist, Titans club legend David Mead — one of the most celebrated players in franchise history — has reportedly returned to the club in a senior leadership role. Sources close to the club suggest Mead will take on a front‑line position within the Titans’ coaching or football department, signaling a potential shift toward a culture‑driven rebuild headed by one of the Titans’ all‑time greats.

Mead’s return marks a sensational homecoming for the veteran, who starred with the Titans during some of their most memorable seasons and remains a fan favourite across the Gold Coast region.

The Titans now face a crucial period of transition, with the club’s management expected to announce an interim coaching appointment while outlining their plans for securing long‑term leadership ahead of the 2026 campaign.

More details are expected to emerge as the club prepares a full statement for release.
