From Rugby League Week
HULKING Broncos prop David Hala is set to leave the club and sign with the Gold Coast Titans.
After missing out on Ben Hannant and following the retirement of of foundation player Luke Bailey, the Titans are desperate for a quality prop and are currently in advanced negotiations with the Broncos to snare Hala.
The 115kg front-rower is under contract at the Broncos next season but coach Wayne Bennett has reportedly earmarked new signing James Gavet, Mitch Garbutt and NYC gun Joe Ofahengaue as his back-up options to starters Corey Parker and Josh Maguire.
Hala’s manager Mark Stewart did not choose to single out the Titans as the frontrunners for his client’s signiture but did admit there were no shortage of offers.
“Brisbane are still keen on him. A few clubs that are short up front called me recently about Dave just to see if he’s an option,” Stewart told the Courier Mail.
“If anything happened (with another NRL club) and I don’t know if it will it would be a while away.
“He’s contracted to Brisbane.”
