Jarryd Hayne looks to have outlasted Neil Henry on the Gold Coast with reports the club are set to sack the coach with the situation now untenable between the pair.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that this Thursday's match against the Parramatta Eels will be Henry's last as coach of the Titans.
Both Hayne and Henry are off contract at the end of 2018 but it will only cost the club around $400,000 to cut Henry loose now, compared to $1,200,00 it would cost to release Hayne.
It isn't just a money issue though, with suggestions other players, including star halfback Ashley Taylor, also have issues with Henry.
The club has released a statement that no decision has yet been made and an announcement will be made next week.

Titans Chair Rebecca Frizelle and CEO Graham Annesley have today addressed the media in relation to issues surrounding Coach Neil Henry and player Jarryd Hayne.
The result out of todayโs meetings will see the Board continue to discuss a number of topics as it is believed that there are more issues to investigate than just the relationship between Henry and Hayne.
