The Gold Coast Titans<\/a> have withdrawn a contract offer for Brisbane Broncos<\/a> outside back Jesse Arthars<\/a> after missing a deadline to confirm the deal.<\/p>\n

Arthars failed to make a decision in time and missed a reported deadline which was on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Titans had enough of Arthars stalling, with Code Sports reporting that they have pulled the pin on a $600,000 contract offer over two years.<\/p>\n

It means he may have to take his talents overseas or take a significant pay cut to remain at the Broncos.<\/p>\n

With all the Broncos’ outside backs on deck, Arthars is set to fall out of the starting side, which may prompt him to look at the Super League<\/a> for a secured starting spot in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

Josh Hannay<\/a> was keen for Arthars to make the quick trip down south, given the loss of Phillip Sami<\/a> to the Dragons next year.<\/p>\n

The club gave him an extra week to make a decision but still hadn’t finalised on a verdict.<\/p>\n

Code Sports also revealed there was interest from Japanese Rugby, and Arthars may test his worth in the 15-man code.<\/p>\n

Arthars spoke on his current contract situation following the Broncos’ loss to the Titans on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m just trying to focus on footy,\u201d Arthars said to Code Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve spoken to \u2018Madge’ (Broncos coach Michael Maguire<\/a>) about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to focus on playing good footy for the club and obviously trying to get some wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s my focus at the moment and I’ll just let all that other stuff sort itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n

After moving on from Arthars, the Titans will look at other outside backs on the market who are keen to be a part of Hannay’s side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Gold Coast Titans have withdrawn a contract offer for Brisbane Broncos outside back Jesse Arthars after missing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-465198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
