Proctor promises better for Titans
is on its way for NRL battlers Gold Coast, according to incoming coach Justin Holbrook.
But Titans co-captain Kevin Proctor, in a brutally-honest open letter, says they won’t be waiting for Holbrook’s 2020 arrival to spark a turnaround, promising members they will show their true character this year.
Holbrook is unfazed by the task ahead at Gold Coast despite the Titans being humiliated 58-6 by the Roosters last round, just days after confirmation he would take over as coach for the 2020-21 seasons.
Holbrook admitted the Titans’ capitulation was “hard to watch” but was confident all the ingredients were in place for a Titans revival in 2020 after speaking with head of culture and performance Mal Meninga.
Meninga has told players they have the remaining five weeks of the competition to show “they care” before decidHELP ing whether to put the broom through their roster.
Not that Proctor had to be told, penning a letter to Titans members yesterday apologising for their display against the Roosters and vowing to show their true colours in the remaining rounds.
“I would like to start by apologising to you, our members, for the performance of the team on Sunday – it was unacceptable,” Proctor wrote.
“As a playing group, we were humiliated, embarrassed and appalled at the result and the way that we played. We have five weeks left in this season to redeem ourselves, and repay the faith ... of our members and fans.”
