The Titans<\/a>\ufeff have batted away rivals to lock up Tino Fa'asuamaleaui<\/a> and David Fifita<\/a> on deals worth an estimated $15 million, inking the State of Origin representatives to long-term contracts just several weeks after they became free agents.<\/p>\n

Fa'asuamaleaui has signed a contract that ties him to the Gold Coast club until the end of 2033, while Fifita has committed until the end of 2026.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The re-signings come\ufeff almost two months after the Titans axed Justin Holbrook and appointed Des Hasler to the head coach role in the same swift move<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hasler, \ufeffFa'asuamaleaui and Fifita are crucial pieces of the Gold Coast jigsaw as the club aims for sustained success after more than a decade of underwhelming results.<\/p>\n

"We're thrilled that both Tino and David have re-affirmed their commitment to the club," Titans chief executive Steve Mitchell said.<\/p>\n

"These are two great young men, talented footballers and important players for us as we work towards our goal of bringing premierships to the Coast.<\/p>\n

"Both Tino and David have already made an impact in their time here, and as a club, we're excited to see what they can achieve in our jersey over the coming years."<\/p>\n

The re-signings of \ufeffFa'asuamaleaui and Fifita were announced just before the Titans' Friday night clash with the Sharks in the Shire kicked off.<\/p>\n

Fa'asuamaleaui celebrated his fresh deal in style, skipping onto a Tanah Boyd pass and beating two defenders, including Nicho Hynes, to score a try in the 22nd minute.<\/p>\n

In June, Darren Lockyer urged \ufeffFa'asuamaleaui to repay the faith<\/a> the Titans had shown him.<\/p>\n

"They took a risk in making him captain so early. They believe in him, they've invested in him," Lockyer said on Wide World of Sports' QLDER<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"For me he feels like the type of player who wants to be the leader at that club and stay there for a long period of time … I'm sure that he feels he is the type of person that feels that he owes the Coast."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
