There were a number of standout performers for the Gold Coast Titans in the past season as the squad resets and prepares for another big year in 2023.
Led by captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui up front, a number of players stood tall above the rest and put together some individual brilliance on field, giving it their all week-in, week-out.
See below for which Titans finished on top in a number of stats categories in 2022:
Games played
Three Titans played all but one game in 2022 with Beau Fermor and Isaac Liu only missing once due to COVID-19 and Moeaki Fotuaika unavailable for the Gold Coast's Round 12 clash due to injury.
| 1. | Beau Fermor | 23 |
| 2. | Moeaki Fotuaika | 23 |
| 3. | Isaac Liu | 23 |
| 4. | Tino Fa'asuamaleaui | 22 |
| 5. | AJ Brimson | 22 |
Tries
Beau Fermor topped the try scoring list in 2022 following his impressive year on the left edge. The combination with AJ Brimson who finished second, proved to be a winner for a majority of the season, bamboozling defensive lines with their sheer pace and speed.
| 1. | Beau Fermor | 11 |
| 2. | AJ Brimson | 9 |
| 3. | Greg Marzhew | 9 |
| 4. | David Fifita | 7 |
| 5. | Brian Kelly | 7 |
Try assists
AJ Brimson took the move from fullback to five-eighth like a duck to water, finishing in the NRL's top 10 for try assists at the end of the regular season with 16. He was closely followed by young gun Toby Sexton who was also a regular in setting up four-pointers with his deft kicking game, especially with the try line in sight.
| 1. | AJ Brimson | 16 |
| 2. | Toby Sexton | 13 |
| 3. | Tanah Boyd | 7 |
| 4. | Will Smith | 7 |
| 5. | Jayden Campbell | 5 |
Line breaks
It's no surprise that AJ Brimson and Beau Fermor sit on top of this list, given the pair ran amok on the left edge for the Titans this season. Both finishing the year with 11 line breaks, should that combination be unleashed again in 2023, expect further damage to be done on opposition try lines.
| 1. | AJ Brimson | 11 |
| 2. | Beau Fermor | 11 |
| 3. | David Fifita | 9 |
| 4. | Tino Fa'asuamaleaui | 8 |
| 5. | Greg Marzhew | 7 |
Offloads
The hulk of a human known as David Fifita was a powerhouse when it came to offloads this season, finishing the year on top with 30. Known for drawing defenders due to his sheer size, initiating second phase play has become a skill of the 22-year-old, who also played a hand in three tries this season as a result of this.
| 1. | David Fifita | 30 |
| 2. | Tino Fa'asuamaleaui | 22 |
| 3. | Brian Kelly | 21 |
| 4. | Jarrod Wallace | 16 |
| 5. | Moeaki Fotuaika | 14 |
Run metres
It comes as no surprise as to who tops this list. The skipper was inspirational and led from the front when it came to charging towards enemy lines in 2022. An average of 146 run metres per game, Fa'asuamaleaui recorded a season-high 271 run metres against the Broncos in Round 12, which was the highest number within the NRL side in 2022.
Evania Pelite takes top spot overall across both NRL and NRLW squads, notching up 300 run metres in the clash against Parramatta recently.
| 1. | Tino Fa'asuamaleaui | 3,214 | 146 avg. per game |
| 2. | Moeaki Fotuaika | 2,610 | 113 avg. per game |
| 3. | Greg Marzhew | 2,502 | 147 avg. per game |
| 4. | Beau Fermor | 2,434 | 106 avg. per game |
| 5. | AJ Brimson | 2,094 | 95 avg. per game |
Tackles
Rounding out a solid year from the hard-running back-rower, Beau Fermor tops the tackles chart with an average of 30 efforts per game. Solid in the front line on the left edge, he pips out four middle third defenders who also feature in the top five.
| 1. | Beau Fermor | 698 | 30 avg. per game |
| 2. | Erin Clark | 603 | 28 avg. per game |
| 3. | Tino Fa'asuamaleaui | 591 | 26 avg. per game |
| 4. | Moeaki Fotuaika | 562 | 24 avg. per game |
| 5. | Isaac Liu | 534 | 23 avg. per game |
