Depth deep dive: Middles

Many pundits have suggested the Titans have one of the best forward packs in the competition, headlined by the return of inspirational captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.

Add in Reagan Campbell-Gillard who joins the Titans as Parramatta's best player in 2024, alongside Origin enforcer Moe Fotuaika, the ever-reliable Jaimin Jolliffe and rising rookie Josiah Pahulu and the engine room is looking like a V8 Landcruiser with plenty of grunt.

It's left Titans coach Des Hasler with some thinking to do as to how to fit so much talent into his line-up; but one thing is guaranteed - he won't be left disappointed who he has to choose from.

Titans.com.au has identified the key players who could form part of the middle third across the season in the 2025 edition of the depth deep dive.

It's a disservice to label the 29-year-old a utility player because he's got the skill and ability to own any one of the jerseys mentioned above, but it means he's one of the first players picked, and has shown to make the No.

13 role his own nine times in 2024.

There's no doubting how hungry 'Big Tino' is to make up for last year's season on the sidelines after an ACL injury cruelled the skipper's 2024 season - it all begins at Belmore against the Bulldogs this Sunday.
