Buyer can look at list

POTENTIAL Titans owners will be given a sneak peak at the NRL club’s final shortlist of coaches before a replacement for Neil Henry is appointed.

The sale of the NRL-owned club and the search for a new head coach are both in full flight on the Gold Coast.

Titans boss Graham Annesley said that while a potential owner would not have the power to veto a call on a coach, they would be given the chance to have their say on the matter before buying the club.

The chief executive hopes to name the new coach by midOctober, having started the interview process last week.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg anticipated the sale of the club would be finalised by year’s end, and that it would be a mistake to delay one project in favour of the other.

Annesley said as both processes progressed, those in the running to own the club would be given more information.

“If they (potential owners) have any strong views, the NRL will pass them on to us,” he said.
