The Gold Coast Titans have announced that five players will depart the club following the conclusion of the 2026 NRL season. Phillip Sami and Jaimin Jolliffe headline the group, with the club also confirming exits for Sam Verrills, Allan Fitzgibbion, and Tukimihia Simpkins. While Sami is headed to the St George Illawarra Dragons and Jolliffe to the Huddersfield Giants, the other three players have not yet secured new contracts for the upcoming year. Verrills, who logged 68 appearances for the Titans, remains a free agent after previous links to the Canterbury Bulldogs failed to materialize. Titans CEO Steve Mitchell acknowledged the contributions of all five departing players during their tenure with the organization. The roster update leaves Jett Liu as the only remaining off-contract player for the Gold Coast squad.
