Laurie Daley put forward his case for the Gold Coast coaching job on Wednesday as the club prepares to make an announcement on Neil Henry's replacement within a fortnight.

Daley has firmed into favouritism for the role after flying up to the holiday strip to outline his vision for the Titans. Club officials are in the process of whittling down their shortlist to just two names and it is understood Daley is likely to make the cut.

The former Canberra pivot has kept a low profile since the NSWRL opted not to offer him a new contract after five seasons at the helm of the Blues. That decision has taken a toll on Daley, but after taking some time out of the spotlight he has decided he wants to take up the clipboard at NRL level.

The meeting on Wednesday morning was an opportunity for both parties to gauge their interest in one another. The Titans reached out to Daley to make him aware he was a person of interest after controversially sacking Henry with two games of the season remaining. Henry is considering his legal options after the club initially refused to provide him with a full payout for the final year of his contract in 2018.
