RCG enjoys switching from an unwelcome Eel to a vital Titan…
Veteran prop Although the new Gold Coast recruit has had the last laugh, Reagan Campbell-Gillard went from being the Parramatta player of the year to being shunned by new coach Jason Ryles. After gaining a release from the final season of his Eels contract, the 31-year-old former NSW and Test front-rower spent his first day as a Titan on Friday and will be available for the next three years. Surprisingly, that release coincided with Campbell-Gillard winning the top prize at the presentation event in Parramatta. The 221-game warhorse was realistic about the situation. “S*** occurs. “That’s how rugby league operates,” Campbell-Gillard stated. “It’s okay if they don’t want me. I’ve arrived here, and I’m quite fine with that.
It’s okay if they don’t want me. That’s perfectly OK to me, and I’ve come to the right place.”Jason Ryles, the Eels coach, felt that he wanted to take a different route when I asked him to “tell me how it is.” “I am aware that it is a business, and everyone must recognize that. Even though I still had a year remaining, at my age, having that security was crucial to securing my future. At my age, three years is a lifetime because the Titans came with the three years. The announcement of Campbell-Gillard as a Titan came about a month after his release. At the time, leaving one club without felt like a risk.
“Everything in life requires risk-taking,” Campbell-Gillard stated. It merely took a little while to do the tasks behind closed doors, but I knew I was coming. Many people believed it was a risk, and it was, but I was adamant that a settlement would be reached. A powerful Gold Coast pack gains starch from Campbell-Gillard. Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, the captain and Test prop, will return for the upcoming season after missing a year due to an ACL tear. Boom back-rower David Fifita and fellow Queensland front-rower Moeaki Fotuaika compliment him. The Maroons’ second-rower, Beau Fermor, who recovered from an ACL tear in 2024, was at his best towards the conclusion of the season.
