The collaboration – now in its third year – has provided weekly playing and development opportunities for Titans players as well as bolstering the Jets squad each week with NRL-contracted talent to compete in the premier Queensland competition.<\/p>\n
The two clubs have reaped the benefits since 2024 with Ipswich securing their first finals berth in eight years last season. The side has continued to build on that success under coach Tye Ingebrigtsen, sitting third on the ladder nearing the halfway point of the regular fixture.<\/p>\n
The partnership has also proven to be a genuine pathway to the NRL with former Jet and 2025 Hostplus Cup player of the year Oliver Pascoe now the starting No. 9 in Josh Hannay\u2019s squad after earning a Titans contract at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
Titans CEO Steve Mitchell is proud of the club\u2019s ongoing collaboration with the Ipswich Jets.<\/p>\n
“This partnership has allowed our developing talent to play high-grade rugby league every week and we’re delighted with the growth and success of the Jets since we joined forces in 2024,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
“The benefits for both clubs have been very encouraging and our players who have been allocated to Ipswich have built a genuine connection with Tye and the entire Jets organisation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to continuing our relationship and building on our shared success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jets CEO Richard Hughes shared his excitement for the renewed agreement.<\/p>\n
“Extending our affiliation with the Titans is a landmark moment for the Ipswich Jets and for rugby league in Southeast Queensland,” he said.<\/p>\n
“This is a continuation of what has been a very successful relationship to date that has reaped rewards from both sides, and a genuine partnership build on shared values, shared ambition, and a shared belief in what community sport can achieve.<\/p>\n
“Together we are creating a pathway that connects grassroots participation through to elite performance, and the programs we are delivering on both sides of that pipeline are making a real difference.<\/p>\n
“This is something our members, our partners, and our community should be incredibly excited about.”[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[550],"post_layout":[],"class_list":["post-24751","club_news","type-club_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/club_news\/24751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/club_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/club_news"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24751"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/club_news\/24751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24782,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/club_news\/24751\/revisions\/24782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media\/24763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24751"},{"taxonomy":"post_layout","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ipswichjets.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/post_layout?post=24751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
