Bulldogs Young Gun Defects: Kurtis Morrin Joins Titans in Shocking 2026 Switch
In a major move ahead of the 2026 NRL season, Canterbury Bulldogs junior and forward Kurtis Morrin has confirmed a switch to the Gold Coast Titans. The 25-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Queensland-based club, adding to Des Hasler’s rebuilding plans at Robina.
Speculation over Morrin’s future had intensified last week after reports emerged that he had toured the Titans’ facilities. Now, the deal is official, marking a significant shift for the young forward who has developed within the Bulldogs’ system.
Morrin’s arrival will bolster the Titans’ depth in the forward pack — an area already loaded with top-tier talent. He joins a powerhouse group that includes Tino Fa’asuamaleaui, Moeaki Fotuaika, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, and David Fifita. While Morrin may not yet be in the same representative class as his new teammates, his work ethic, versatility, and potential make him a valuable addition to a squad aiming to climb out of the NRL cellar.
With Hasler known for getting the best out of hard-working forwards, Morrin will be eyeing this move as a chance to elevate his career. The Titans, who have struggled for consistency in recent seasons, will hope the local junior’s signing marks the start of a cultural shift toward greater depth and competition across all positions.
Morrin will finish the 2025 season with Canterbury before making the move north, where he’ll look to make his mark from 2026 onward.
