Cooper Bai on verge of Storm move as Titans demand player swap

Cooper Bai will meet Titans coach Josh Hannay and football boss Scott Sattler on Wednesday with a view to rescinding his 2027 contract and leaving Gold Coast immediately, with the Storm on the verge of signing him. The Titans are set to demand a player swap as a condition of his release, and have identified Maroons forward Trent Loiero as an ideal target. Melbourne have tabled a three-year deal until the end of 2030 and are open to taking him for 2027 if he can secure a release. The Roosters have also shown interest and the Chiefs have tabled a three-year deal, but the 19-year-old Queensland under-19s lock is leaning towards Melbourne and is expected to decide within 24 hours.
