Chris Randall is the Titans' ultimate Mr Fix It.
Packing up his life and moving to the Gold Coast for a fresh opportunity to get more game time in the NRL, the 27-year-old has certainly done just that for his new team, especially with his versatility to play in every position in the forward pack.
To make the situation even better for the former Newcastle Knight, he's thoroughly enjoyed his roaming role in his maiden season with the Titans, allowing him to continue to earn a spot each week in the 17 alongside fellow rake Sam Verrills.
"Obviously I've been moving around a little bit which has suited me and kept my minutes high," Randall said.
"I'm playing first grade and getting some decent minutes, especially with Verrills back (from injury), so I'm loving it.
"It's a bit of a bit of a change up and I think it's suited me lately to show a little bit of versatility especially with us having a couple of little injuries and Tino (Fa'asuamaleaui) out as well.
"I'm just happy to do whatever job is given to me by Jimmy (Lenihan) and do my part for the team."
'I think it's suited me': Randall
Part of a pre-season trade with Greg Marzhew moving to Newcastle, the switch has proved dividends for both clubs, with the former Titans flyer in sublime form and Randall much the same, loving his introduction to the Gold Coast and recently extending his time until the end of the 2026 season.
"The swap has been great and I think it's been a win-win for both clubs. He's had a great year down there and I've managed to play a full year of first grade so far," he said.
"I'm definitely really happy with the move and it's really paid off. I've thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity that's been given to me up here.
"It's been a really good thing for my career as well and I'm just really grateful to be up here."
Match: Titans v Warriors
Round 23 -
home Team
Titans
13th Position
away Team
Warriors
3rd Position
Venue: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast
Named on the bench with again the potential to start in his 18th game of the season against the Warriors at Cbus Super Stadium on Friday night, the utility knows how tough the in-form New Zealand side will be, especially as they look to make a late charge to a top four finals berth.
He's particularly wary of their tough, talented forward pack and is looking forward to that challenge up front.
"It's shaping up to be a good clash," Randall said.
"Their whole team has been in some pretty red hot form, but they've got a great pack and it'll be a good battle to come up against them."
