The Gold Coast rugby league side believe their NRL coach John Cartwright is more than ready to step up from his assistant role and replace Australian Ricky Stuart as Kangaroos coach.
Just two seasons into his first grade coaching career, the former Test and Origin forward and Penrith 200-gamer is right in the frame for the position, which will be announced next month.
And the Titans would have no problem with Cartwright devoting his time to both roles if he gets the opportunity.
Cartwright was Stuart's assistant with the Kangaroos in last year's World Cup campaign and his name has been mentioned alongside Mal Meninga, Craig Bellamy, Des Hasler and Graham Murray as possible replacements since Stuart stepped down following Australia's Cup final loss to New Zealand and his verbal attack on referee Ashley Klein.
