Meet the Gold Coast's 2024 NRLW squad

Ngatokotoru Arakua

NRLW premiership winner Ngatokotoru Arakua has joined the Titans for the 2024 NRLW season, previously with the Broncos, Dragons, and Knights. Having represented both New Zealand and the Cook Islands, the 27-year-old will bring a lot of experience to the side this season as a powerful forward, especially after a dominant display in the BMD Premiership for Souths Logan, scoring seven tries in nine appearances.

Emily Bass

Joining the Titans in 2023, the Queensland Origin star had her season cut short with a shoulder injury troubling the 24-year-old after only four games in Gold Coast colours last season. However, the outside back has entered the 2024 NRLW season healthy and ready to be a big part of delivering the Gold Coast their first premiership.

Shaylee Bent

Bent is a player that typifies hard work, with her continued Jillaroos selection a prime example of that. Entering her second season with the Titans after making the move from the Dragons in 2023, Bent will be hungry to dominate as one of the game's premier edge forwards after missing out on Sky Blues selection and has her eyes firmly on grand final victory after last year's heartbreaking loss.

Brittany Breayley-Nati

The former Queensland and Jillaroos rake is back for her fourth season with the Titans and will bring plenty of experience as the club's vice-captain. Breayley-Nati was the game's inaugural NRLW player of the year in 2018, and has plenty of big game experience having also won a premiership with the Broncos in that same season. The 33-year-old brings that as a forward pack leader from dummy-half and is wanting to back-up one of her career best seasons in 2023.

Karina Brown

The veteran winger returns for her seventh year in the NRLW and was the 2021 Veronica White Medallist and Titans Community Award winner in the club's inaugural season. The speedy back still has plenty of desire after a stellar representative career and is hungry to take the Titans to the top and deliver the Gold Coast their first premiership as Titan NRLW #1.

Lauren Brown

Brown continually saves the day on and off the field. A fully-fledged firefighter as well as NRLW star, it was the Queensland star's prowess with the boot that saw her ice two games in 2023 with crucial one-pointers, as well as the same success with the Maroons in Game II. Committing long-term on the Coast, the 29-year old’s versatility and poise can see her fill a range of positions including in the halves and hooker and is excited to embark on her third season in Titans colours.

Zara Canfield

Back in Titans colours for her fourth season, Canfield has had a great opportunity to learn from the best in recent years and is excited to continue her career with the Titans in 2024. A local Currumbin Eagles junior, Canfield proved her versatility playing at prop, lock and second row for Tweed in the BMD Premiership, as she aims to help deliver the Coast their first premiership as an inaugural Titan.

Jaime Chapman

Chapman impressed in her first season with the Gold Coast, finishing 2023 as the top point scorer and top try scorer for the Titans. Currently one of the most exciting players to watch, the 22-year-old returns after an incredible performance with a grand final hat-trick, as well as two unmissable runaway tries in the recent Origin series for the Sky Blues. The outside back will be ready to play a key part in helping the Titans go one better in 2024.

Laikha Clarke

Only playing three games in 2023, Clarke has 'trained the house down' this season in a bid to find her form which earned her Prime Minister's XIII selection at the end of 2022. The barnstorming prop rejoins the Titans for her fourth season after making her debut in the inaugural year and aspires to play a big part of the Coast's forward pack rotation in 2024.

Taliah Fuimaono

Joining the Titans from the Dragons in 2023 as a marquee signing, Fuimaono's season was cut short after just one game due to an ankle injury. But, the Gold Coast playmaker is coming into the 2024 season fit and healthy after representing the Sky Blues in this year’s State of Origin series. Having previously represented New South Wales in touch football and rugby sevens, and Australia in Oztag, Fuimaono will hope to make a big impact in her second season with the Titans.

Georgia Hale

Judged the best female player in the world, receiving the IRL Golden Boot in 2023, Hale's next goal is to deliver premiership success to the Gold Coast. The Kiwi international is one for the most experienced players in the Titans side at just 29 years of age and brings plenty of energy to the side as captain and recently extended her tenure on the Gold Coast until 2026. Having boasted an impeccable 99 percent efficiency with a competition-high 501 tackles in 2023, the inspirational lock will look to back-up her incredible past season again in 2024.

Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell

Ormond-Maunsell made her way from the Future Titans to the NRLW in the inaugural Titans season, playing six games across the first two campaigns in 2022.

Dannii Perese

Perese is one of the brightest young props in the game, making her NRLW debut in Round 2 against the Broncos as an 18-year-old. Representing Tonga at the end of 2023 after having previously played for the Prime Minister's XIII before joining the Titans, the talented teen will be looking to go to the next level going into her second year playing in the NRLW.

Georgia Sim

Making the move from Rugby 7s, Sim impressed while in action for the Western Clydesdales in the BMD Premiership, earning a spot in the Titans' top 24 for 2024. Scoring five tries and averaging 105 metres per game in her nine appearances in the QRL competition, Sim will provide great depth to the outside backs with her incredible speed one of her strongest attributes.

Malaela Su'a

Su'a was elevated to the top squad for the 2024 NRLW season after a strong year as a development system while still at school - helping Mabel Park SHS win the NRL National Schoolgirl Cup. The 19-year-old forward is a former Super W Queensland Reds representative player and has a bright future in the game, hoping to make her NRLW debut in the 2024 season.
