It's a job he loves but Nate Myles says he hasn't spoken to Neil Henry about becoming the sole NRL captain of Gold Coast in 2015.
Myles has been co-captain of the Titans along with Greg Bird since the start of 2013.
The club dumped Bird as one of their leaders last month following his embarrassing public urination incident in Byron Bay.
No formal announcement has been made on who will be the Titans skipper under new coach Henry but Myles is clearly the favourite.
The Queensland State of Origin and Australia representative says he's just as much in the dark about Henry's choice as anyone.
"I don't really think it's a decision that's up to me," he said.
"It's something I enjoy and have enjoyed doing for the last few seasons.
"I'd love to keep doing my job."
Bird's indiscretion capped a horror fortnight for the Titans who also sacked young utility Paul Carter following a second drink-driving conviction inside a year and fined James Roberts following an alcohol-fuelled run-in with police.
Myles said the distractions were an issue but was confident the squad had kept their focus.
He also praised the attitude of Bird, who returned to the club this week following the Christmas break.
"He's a good man Gregory ... I think he was a bit disappointed with how things worked out," Myles said.
"He's come back good and he's ready to go. Everyone expected that of Greg and that's how he's come back."
Myles, who says his recovery from an off-season shoulder surgery is on track, added he expects several of his teammates to take on increased leadership responsibilities in 2015.
The Titans farewelled veterans Ashley Harrison, Luke Bailey and Mark Minichiello through last season.
Myles says players such as Aidan Sezer, Luke Douglas and William Zillman must step into the experience gaps that trio leave.
"We lost some fantastic footballers and some, I don't like saying old heads, but really experienced players," he said.
"Guys that probably don't think they are leaders or senior members of the group now are senior members of the group ... they need to step up."
