Gold Coast are offering star Bronco Kotoni Staggs the chance to play his preferred five-eighth role in a bid to lure him away, according to Channel 7ย reporter Chris Garry.

Staggs, 22, has been offered a four-year $2.8 million deal from Brisbane, but nothing has been agreed on to this point.

And now the Titans have entered the race and will look to cause a shake up in negotiations for the star Bronco.

Garry said he believes the only club with a serious chance of luring Staggs away from the Broncos is Gold Coast, and believes the race is down to those two clubs.

โ€œThere is only one club that will prise Kotoni Staggs out of the Broncos and that is the Gold Coast Titans,โ€ Garry said.

โ€œ(The Titans) have pitched him on the idea of being their five-eighth for the next three plus years.

โ€œRight now I would be leaning towards the Titans to snare Kotoni Staggs.

โ€œOn a deal worth in excess of $750,000 a year. Which is more than the Broncos deal.

โ€œStaggs wants to play five-eighth, that role canโ€™t be and hasnโ€™t been guaranteed or promised to him at the Broncos, but it will be guaranteed to him at the Titans.

โ€œSo that could sway him, however still nothing is done.โ€

Staggs is currently still rehabilitating from an ACL injury and won't be back in action until at least Round 10.
