Gold Coast Titans playmaker Jordan Rankin could make shock move to St George Illawarra Dragons Titans playmaker Jordan Rankin could be set for a shock move to the Dragons. Picture: Adam Head Source: Gold Coast Bulletin TITANS playmaker Jordan Rankin has not ruled out a shock move to St George Illawarra. Rankin is being chased by the Dragons, who are looking for solutions to their 0-3 start to the season. Rankin was non-committal when approached for comment yesterday but did not deny a move. The Titans last night said a deal had been not done but the club is understood to be willing to cut Rankin loose if an agreement can be reached with the Dragons. Rankin was the face of the Titans' future when he made his NRL debut aged just 16, but at the age of 21 he has played just 15 career first grade games. Now resigned to missing out on Josh Dugan in a courting competition with the Broncos, St George Illawarra are focusing all their energy on recruiting a new playmaker to remedy their attacking woes for 2014. Rankin is understood to be closest to signing, but overtures have also been made to Newcastle prodigy Tyrone Roberts and Castleford's Rangi Chase. And in a worrying sign for under-fire coach Steve Price, recruitment manager Craig Young and chief executive Peter Doust have been doing the lion's share of recent negotiations with agents. BEN Barba has been training in game simulation for the past few days, ready for his return with the Bulldogs to league on Friday night against Souths. Canterbury coach Des Hasler will release his side for the Souths game this afternoon.
