TITANS chairwoman Rebecca Frizelle has promised to deliver the Gold Coast a football club they can be proud of after the NRL delivered the gift of life on Tuesday.
Frizelle joined the Titans board in April 2014 and after 11 difficult months trying to salvage the shattered empire built by Michael Searle and kept alive by white knight Darryl Kelly, Tuesday's change of ownership to the NRL is the breakthrough she needed to get the club back on its feet. From a position of imminent death, the Titans now boast a surety to climb to a position of strength.

Frizelle promised the new regime won't repeat mistakes of the past.
"This is the turning point for the club and the Gold Coast," Frizelle told The Courier-Mail.
"The Gold Coast deserves a strong rugby league club, this is rugby league heartland. Today that has been delivered.

"Quite frankly (the club) couldn't have survived ...
"The only responsible action the board could take was to place the company into administration.
"We now have to roll up our sleeves and start rebuilding this club.
"It's fair to say we've been stripped back to the bare core over the last few days and it's been a very challenging and difficult time for everyone concerned.
"But these times bring out the best in everybody including our community, our sponsors and our members. The overwhelming support we've received has just been incredible.

"I can't explain what confidence that gives us in what we're doing is the right thing."
Frizelle paid credit to the support of the local community.
"We have a great city of people down here. When times are tough, this is when we shine," she said..
"With the CEO and the current board, we will deliver to the Gold Coast a club they can be very proud of."
Right now, that remains a key issue for the Titans. Their brand is at an all-time low.
The club must fill three major sponsorship positions on the jersey worth $1.5m, while five players are on charges for supplying cocaine and are set to face court within days of the club's first home game of 2015 next week.
The Titans had become known as the Titanics such was the tarnished nature of their brand.
But Frizelle was adamant the club would always remain Titans and would get the business sailing into smooth waters as soon as possible.

"The brand is incredibly important," she said.
"It belongs to the Gold Coast and I have absolutely and nor does the board have any interest in changing that branding.
"That is what it was founded on and will remain as the Gold Coast Titans."
