Titans promise Kotoni Staggs number six jersey as battle to sign young star heats up

2021-03-25T10:15+11:00

The Gold Coast Titans are the favourites to land a deal with Brisbane Bronco centre Kotoni Staggs, according to Channel Seven's Chris Garry.

The Titans are reportedly offering Staggs a mouth watering deal worth $750,000 and have promised the Tongan international the number six jersey.

Garry joined SEN 1170’s Mornings with Matt White to reveal the extent of the Titans' eye-catching offer.

“There is only one club that will prise Kotoni Staggs out of the Broncos and that is the Gold Coast Titans,” he said.

“(The Titans) have pitched him on the idea of being their five-eighth for the next three plus years.”

Garry believes the Gold Coast will be able to lure over the 22-year-old with a promise to play him in his preferred five-eighth position as well as the lucrative deal.

“Right now I would be leaning towards the Titans to snare Kotoni Staggs,” he said.

“On a deal worth in excess of $750,000 a year. Which is more than the Broncos deal.

“Staggs wants to play five-eighth, that role can’t be and hasn’t been guaranteed or promised to him at the Broncos, but it will be guaranteed to him at the Titans.

“So that could sway him, however still nothing is done.

Garry admitted that nothing is set in stone and that Staggs could be staying put if the Broncos play their cards right.

“Maybe Kotoni looks at his Broncos deal and has some more chats over the next week and stays with the 'Broncs'," he added.

“But it’s between them and the Titans, they’re the two clubs.”

Despite recently locking in Jordan Riki for another three years, Staggs leaving to the Titans would be a big blow to the Broncos as it is rumoured that star winger Xavier Coates could be moving on when his contract expires this year.
