the Titans reconfirmed their commitment to Hannay late last month<\/a> while at the same time making \u201cno apologies for pursuing the best\u201d in reference to their interest in Bellamy. <\/p>\nWHAT’S GAMBLING REALLY COSTING YOU?

Titans chairman Dennis Watt said in a statement that while the club wouldn\u2019t \u201ccomment on confidential contractual matters\u201d, much of the reporting on the matter had been \u201cinaccurate\u201d.<\/p>\n
To that point, Frizelle used her appearance on SEN Radio on Tuesday to hit back at the \u201coutside noise\u201d and directly address Parker. <\/p>\n
\u201cCorey, I\u2019d like to clear this up now because it did bother me that you would think that we would be dishonest or not transparent with our incoming coach regarding Craig Bellamy and Josh Hannay,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to say on the record we would never operate that way. We are straight shooters and we will always be transparent. We would never treat anyone poorly like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that clears it up for the public, there was nothing we did that neither Josh or Craig Bellamy were not across.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, Parker said: \u201cThat\u2019s great Bec, that provides some great clarity for the listeners and for the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause for such a period of time there was a bit of uncertainty, not from your end, but I did say from our end that within the four walls you would hope it would be handled differently and you have absolutely cleared that up without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ilias signs with Titans for two years | 00:21<\/p>\n
As for what Parker had said in the first place when reports of the Titans\u2019 interest in Bellamy first came to light last month, the Broncos legend said should they be true Hannay would have been \u201csomewhat blindsided\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHannay whilst holidaying overseas has made it known that he didn\u2019t have any idea that there was a contract with a clause in it,\u201d Parker added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this stage we\u2019re led to believe that Josh Hannay had no idea about the alleged signing of Craig Bellamy, and we haven\u2019t heard anything from the Titans.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf what we\u2019re reading is correct and Josh comes back \u2014 he\u2019s away on holidays \u2014 he\u2019s coming back into a storm of media going, \u2018What\u2019s going on?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand if Craig hasn\u2019t made those decisions, but certainly if Josh is aware of it, they need to front the media and just let their fans know where they\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Titans eventually did that and while there is much-needed clarity over the coaching situation, the same can\u2019t be said for the future of skipper Tino Fa\u2019asuamaleaui.<\/p>\n
The superstar forward, who is contracted until the end of 2029 but has a clause which allows him to explore the open market, has been linked to the Perth Bears and Melbourne Storm. <\/p>\n
On Perth\u2019s interest specifically, Frizelle said she was \u201cnot too worried\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish them all the success. I think they\u2019ve got a big challenge ahead,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think them coming in is great for the game but in terms of us, it\u2019s a big ask to ask people to move across to Perth, the time difference, the travel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a challenge, and I think I\u2019m pretty confident with our playing group and where they sit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not overly worried about the Perth Bears and if we do lose people to them, well, I wish them luck.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gold Coast Titans co-owner Bec Frizelle has confronted Corey Parker live on radio after the Broncos legend accused…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-261435","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
