NRL Titans set to announce Henry sacking

The Gold Coast NRL club is expected to announce it has sacked coach Neil Henry.

A media conference has been called at the club by Titans chief executive Graham Annesley for 3.45pm.

The latest development comes after crisis meetings at the club last week following reports of a rift between Henry and superstar Titans fullback Jarryd Hayne.

Henry, who replaced foundation coach John Cartwright in late 2014, had a year remaining on his contract but has endured a difficult season as his team dropped out of finals contention.

He has denied falling out with Hayne but the pair were called to front the Titans hierarchy last week ahead of an emergency board meeting which deferred any decision until this week.

There were also reports that others in the playing group were unhappy with Henry’s coaching and selections and young stars Ash Roberts and Kane Elgey would not sign new contracts with the Titans if he remained.

However senior players including captain Ryan James and Kiwi international Kevin Proctor have insisted the playing group remained behind Henry and any differences could be sorted out.
