Holbrook attracting foreign eye to Gold Coast

[josie andrews]

The incoming coach is a magnet for the Super League’s best.

Regan Grace, a premiership-winning winger for Super League team St Helens, has declared that he wants to play for the Titans.

The member of the Wales World Nines squad commented yesterday that the drawcard is incoming coach Justin Holbrook when he was asked where he’d want to play in the NRL.

“The Gold Coast, so I can go see my old coach Justin Holbrook,” Grace told News Corp.

“I have a best mate who lives up on the Gold Coast as well, so it would be good to catch up with him.

“I’d love to be able to get to that standard and test myself out here.”

Titans fans would no doubt share the sentiment is the 22-year-old decided to make the move when his St Helens contract expires in 2021.

Grace has scored 22 tries in 33 games for the English side and clocked a speed on 36.7km/h which would have put him second in the NRL behind Josh Addo-Carr’s 38.5km/h run.

Holbrook’s success with St Helens and excellent atmosphere at the club makes the Gold Coast an alluring option for British players wanting to try the NRL.

The Titans have already been linked to St Helens prop Luke Thompson who was player of the match in the Super League grand final along with his premiership teammate Alex Walmsley.
