Moeaki Fotuaika has been at the Titans long enough to know what long-term success will mean to the region and it's fans.
As the club's NRLW side prepares for a grand final, Fotuaika says the NRL side are determined to follow suit in the coming years.
Fresh off re-signing until the end of 2027, it's the Titans Legion that are front of mind for the Origin forward.
"I just want to pay our fans back," Fotuaika said.
"I think for me being here since under 20's and coming up through the grades and having some tough years, I really do want to see success and a premiership.
"There have been fans that have gone through the tough times and even myself having gone through the tough times, I want to be here for the good times.
"That's a big motivation for myself and I just love being here on the Gold Coast."
Producing a stellar season that saw him return to the State of Origin arena, Fotuaika claimed both the Paul Broughton Medal and Players' Player awards in recognition of his on-field efforts.
His strong form had other clubs interested, but Fotuaika says he wasn't going anywhere.
"There was a bit of interest from other clubs but there was no serious talks or me talking to them personally, it was just word of mouth through my manager," he said.
"I knew where I wanted to be and that was here at the Titans."
With fellow representative players in David Fifita, AJ Brimson and captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and a host of others including Beau Fermor, Alofiana Khan-Pereira, Keano Kini and Jayden Campbell also locked in long term, Fotuaika says the group is determined to bring results to the club's supporters.
"I'm happy to be locked up for the next three years and with the team that we have I think we can do some special things in the next three years," he said.
"I think the roster that we have I really think we can do some great things.
"Some of my mates here I've known since I was back in high school.
"I really think with Des (Hasler) and what he will bring to the team, he has won premierships ... and we've got a few boys in our team who have won premierships like Tino (Fa'asuamaleaui), Sam Verrills and Kieran Foran and Isaac Liu that have been there and done it.
"They know what it takes and I'm sure they'll help us get there.
"He (Hasler) brings that hard edge, but he will also do anything for the players and he has that personal relationship with everyone.
"Although he can be hard on players, he just wants the best out of them and I think that's something that we need.
"I'm just excited for that because I think if I have that I can take my game to another level as well as the other boys."
