Gold Coast coach Justin Holbrook says sacked forward Kevin Proctor let the Titans down, but dismisses suggestions the club has a poor off-field culture.
Last weekend's loss to the Bulldogs was the Titans' eighth in a row, with only for-and-against keeping the club ahead of Wests Tigers and off the bottom of the ladder."It's a terrible look given where we sit on the table," Holbrook said.
"People at every club are going to make poor decisions but it highlights the fact when you're not having a good year, that's for sure. It's not good." Proctor's indiscretion, given his status as a senior player and former captain within the squad, has raised concerns about the club's culture, but Holbrook was adamant this was an isolated incident and not reflective of a wider issue.
"You've got to react as quick as you can to a bad situation and put a stop to it and that's what we've done, but as an overall club … the nucleus of this side is really committed to the club doing well," he said. "No-one's happy where we're sitting and an unfortunate action like that, as I said, highlights it and doesn't do us any favours, that's for sure."
