In a stunning turn of events, the Gold Coast sports scene has been hit by not one, but two coach sackings in recent weeks. Justin Holbrook of the Gold Coast Titans and Stewie Dew of the Gold Coast Suns have both found themselves unemployed faster than a swimmer at the start of the Commonwealth Games.
But why do teams on the sunny Gold Coast fail time and time again? Let’s dive into the heart of the matter and explore the reasons behind these failures.
Firstly, we have the Gold Coast lifestyle conundrum. This beautiful strip of land is like a siren, enticing athletes with its sparkling beaches, glitzy nightlife, and all-around good vibes. It’s a place where it’s just too easy to trade in the training cones for a boogie board.
These teams need coaches who can strike the perfect balance between discipline and enjoying all that the Gold Coast has to offer. Perhaps they should hire a surf instructor who can also run a mean defensive drill.
Secondly, there’s the issue of venue location. While the Gold Coast is famous for its iconic Surfers Paradise, it seems the teams have missed the memo. The Titans and the Suns are situated miles away from the bustling heart of the Gold Coast, where the surf meets the sand and the party never ends.
Maybe the solution is to move the stadiums closer to the action, where players can catch a wave during halftime and refuel with a cheeky acai bowl.

But, my friends, let’s address the elephant in the room—or should I say the jester in the jerseys? It’s time to tackle the fashion faux pas that plagues these teams. How can you have the name “Gold Coast” and not wear jerseys that scream sunshine and golden sands?
It’s like naming your country Greenland when it is mostly covered in Ice, or Iceland when it is mostly covered in green. It defies logic, common sense, and all things decent in the world of fashion.
Imagine the fear that would strike the hearts of opposing teams if they had to face a squad donning glittering gold jerseys, reflecting the sun’s rays like a disco ball. It would blind the opposition, making their tackling resemble a Benny Hill skit.
You can’t deny the power of a good jersey, my friends. It’s the secret ingredient that could turn a team of underachievers into the kings of the competition.
So, while we ponder the fate of the Gold Coast Titans and the Gold Coast Suns, let’s not forget to raise our glasses to Justin Holbrook and Stewie Dew. May they find new opportunities that allow them to bask in the sun-soaked glory of victory.
As we bid farewell to these coaches, let’s hope that the Gold Coast can find the winning formula and Des Hasler brings the Wallabies jerseys with Titans logo stitched atop.
Whether it’s striking a balance between surf and training, relocating to the heart of the action, or simply donning some blindingly fabulous jerseys, let’s make sure the Gold Coast teams rise like the sun itself – in all its golden glory.
