In a serendipitous turn of events, Titans hooker Sam Verrills is finally fulfilling a childhood dream thanks to new coach Des Hasler.
Growing up on the Northern Beaches, Verrills was a devout Sea Eagles fan and had always dreamed of being mentored by Hasler.
However, due to circumstances at the time, fate had a different plan for him.
Now, after a grueling pre-season at Parkwood, Verrills finds himself on the precipice of playing his first game under the legendary coach's guidance.
The Titans, eager to showcase their new-look style, will face off against the Parramatta Eels in a pre-season trial.
Verrills, along with 16 other Titans, will seize this opportunity to make their mark and prove their worth on the field.
As the young brigade of Gold Coast players look to shine against their opponents, Verrills will undoubtedly be fueled by his long-awaited chance to learn from the seasoned mentor.
