Gold Coast Titans back-rower Beau Fermor, currently under contract for another year, is reportedly in a precarious position as he faces the possibility of requesting a release.
With the ability to negotiate with rival teams starting November 1, his future with the Titans is uncertain, especially as the team dwells near the bottom of the NRL standings and is vying for the wooden spoon alongside the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
At 26, Fermor, a recent Queensland Maroons representative, is amidst a crucial phase in his career.
Despite the Titans' management denying reports of his release request, it seems Fermor has grown increasingly disillusioned with the club's lack of success on the field.
Fermor's contract runs until the end of the 2026 NRL season, and he has been linked to a potential move to the Parramatta Eels.
However, Eels officials have clarified their stance, indicating they are not looking to acquire the State of Origin player.
As the situation unfolds, the Titans face the challenge of retaining a key player while needing to address their overall performance and competitive standing in the league.
