Gold Coast Titans coach Josh Hannay has refused to hit the alarm bells after the side suffered an embarrassing 40-point loss to begin their 2026 campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Entering the match with back-to-back pre-season victories under their belt, there were high expectations for the club, but instead they conceded two tries in the opening ten minutes and a further seven during the contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to look at it and you\u2019ve got to address what went wrong. I\u2019m not one to dwell so I won\u2019t dwell on it but you also can\u2019t ignore it,\u201d Hannay said after his first match as Titans coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to take our lessons and there are some really good lessons here tonight for us. We\u2019ll definitely go through it, take out of it what we have to and respond.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Made a bit of a statement!” | 03:08<\/p>\n

While Hannay was not happy with the result, the former Queensland Maroons assistant understands that the club are still a work in progress and has refused to panic despite the score-line.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the encouraging signs of this club, I\u2019m not discouraged at all after one performance. Win or lose tonight, tonight wasn\u2019t going to define us this year,\u201d Hannay continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m disappointed for the players and disappointed for the club because I think there\u2019s been a lot of hope built up over the last four months and you walk in here tonight with high hopes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as I say, one game is not going to diminish all that. I know this playing group is capable of better but I\u2019ve also said to them there\u2019s going to be pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know when it\u2019s going to present but there\u2019s going to be pain for us this year. We\u2019re still on a journey here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t for one moment accept the performance or the result. It doesn\u2019t sit well with me or the players but the reality is we\u2019re going to have nights like that and our response to nights like that is probably more important than anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tino on report after shoulder charge | 00:27<\/p>\n

As the Titans look to avenge their loss against inner-state rivals, the Dolphins in the next round, they could be without dummy-half Sam Verrills after he sustained a sternum injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone saw the contact and it was quite significant,\u201d Hannay said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo idea what the severity is but it\u2019s a bad spot to get a painful injury the sternum so we\u2019ll see how he comes up.\u201d<\/p>\n

They will also be sweating on the availability of skipper Tino Fa\u2019asuamaleaui after he was placed on report for a high tackle against Blayke Brailey.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t too bad. I think I\u2019ll be right for next week,\u201d the Titans skipper said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gold Coast Titans coach Josh Hannay has refused to hit the alarm bells after the side suffered an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-524848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524848","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=524848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
