GOLD Coast Titans fans have called on club bosses to overlook frontrunning option Kevin Walters as the man to replace Garth Brennan as NRL coach.

It has been confirmed that Brennan has been axed following a lean 18 months at the helm.

Gold Coast’s dismal loss to Penrith on Friday night followed by Canterbury’s win over the Knights has left the Titans on the bottom of the ladder with a 4-12 record.

All up, Brennan has overseen just 12 wins in 40 games.

A Gold Coast Titans fan poll posted on popular Facebook supporter site Fanzone revealed most support was for ex-Manly coach Geoff Toovey to succeed Brennan.

Amid more than 300 voters, Toovey had almost double the votes of any other candidate, with Walters next.

Others to feature among votes included Anthony Griffin, Shane Flanagan, Ben and Shane Walker, Justin Holbrook and former Titans mentor Neil Henry.

St Helens coach Holbrook has been reported as a possible frontrunner alongside Walters.
