THE Titans’ resurgence has not gone unnoticed by the league’s players, with off-contract Broncos prop Jarrod Wallace in discussions with the Gold Coast.

Wallace, who was born on the Gold Coast and played for the Titans’ under-20 side before linking with Brisbane, is in the Titans’ sights as they look to add to their forward stocks for next season.

While they already have strong young front-rowers in Ryan James and Agnatius Paasi, the Titans are looking to add to their stocks, with veteran Luke Douglas reportedly told he is unlikely to be extended when his contract expires next season.

Coach Neil Henry, who was spotted meeting with Wallace last week, confirmed the club’s interest in the 24-year-old.

“We’ve been interested in him and he’s a Gold Coast boy,’’ Henry said.

“But time will tell whether or not he wants to come down.

“He’s part of a very strong club at the moment but certainly he’s of interest to us as a young up-and-coming front rower.’’

As a Gold Coaster, Wallace is a perfect fit for the club and given their resurgent form, the Titans are likely to be of much more interest than they were 12-18 months ago when in trouble on and off the field.

Since reforming their administration and financial position and becoming a genuine top eight contender, the Titans are now an attractive option for players.

“I think the club is heading in the right direction and it’s got a good feel about it but we need to keep working,’’ Henry said.

“The players that we’ve recruited have either been players that haven’t played much first grade and have really taken (feedback) on board and improved and the older guys that have been regular first graders have really set the tone for what it takes week-in, week-out.’’

Henry said there would be no rush on a decision on Wallace, who the Broncs are also keen to retain.

Henry’s focus is most keenly on Saturday’s clash with the Eels, another crucial match on the Titans’ path to a first finals showing in six years.

The coach labelled the Titans’ 32-12 win against St George Illawarra on Friday night their most “complete’’ of the season in terms of their control of the game.

The result pushed the Gold Coast back into the eight, with the Warriors’ loss to Manly on Saturday lifting them to seventh.

“Our challenge is to stay there,’’ Henry said.

“With seven games to go now we’ve got four at home and three away - the next three at home - so it’s a really crucial time for us.

“We’re up against Parramatta (this week), who have proved the doubters wrong with their performances under duress and then we’ve got Cronulla, who are the top of the comp, so it’s a big couple of weeks for us.’’
