Team emerges as favourites for Reagan Campbell-Gillard
He remains uncontracted for the 2025 NRL season.
Still uncontracted for the 2025 NRL season, a surprising team has emerged as the favourites to secure the services of former Parramatta Eels forward Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
A 221-game veteran of the NRL, the 31-year-old is coming to the back end of his career, with his next contract likely to be his last.
Contracted on a deal worth approximately $750,000 this season, he has represented Australia (nine times) and Fiji (two times) on the international stage and played three State of Origin matches for the NSW Blues.
Released by the Eels less than a month ago, the NSW Blues representative future remains uncertain after knocking back offers from rival teams and other clubs dropping out of the race.
Having been linked with the Brisbane Broncos, Cronulla Sharks, Dolphins, North Queensland Cowboys, St George Illawarra Dragons, Wests Tigers and the Super League competition in the past, the Gold Coast Titans have now emerged as the favourites for Campbell-Gillard’s signature.
“2025 was the last year of his deal…he wants to get a deal that takes him forward,” reporter Neil Breen said on 2GB’s Continuous Call Team.
It’s similar to what will end up happening with Ben Hunt. He comes into his last year next year, but if someone else comes at him with a two or three-year deal, it gives him longer in the game.
“That’s what Reagan Campbell-Gillard wanted. He rejected the St George-Illawarra Dragons, we saw those reports (that Shane Flanagan) was filthy about it and felt misled.
“But the team most likely, and there’s nothing official yet, is the Gold Coast Titans. He’s the sort of player Des likes. Des likes old-school forward
