Titans skipper excited by DCE talk

Gold Coast captain Nate Myles is so excited about the prospect of Daly Cherry-Evans joining the NRL club, he's already started house-hunting.

Gold Coast can now add the services of a free property broker - in the form of skipper Nate Myles - to their bid to lure Daly Cherry-Evans to the NRL club.

The off-contract Manly halfback has reportedly been offered a three-year, $3 million deal to join the Titans at the end of the 2015 season.

Cherry-Evans spent Monday meeting with Titans' officials and checking out the club's facilities.

His manager Gavin Orr has confirmed that the Titans are firmly in Cherry-Evans' radar, although Cronulla and Parramatta are also looking to lure the Queensland and Australia representative away from Brookvale Oval.

His Maroons teammate Myles may hold the key however, revealing he's doing all he can to help the 25-year-old settle into south-east Queensland.

"I have been volunteering for some open house inspections for him to try and ease the move," Myles joked on Tuesday.

"What he could bring to any club I think is fantastic. Everyone knows that. He's a very experienced halfback.

"His actions do all the talking. He's a fantastic player and a really good fella.

"If his choice is to come up here we'd only be blessed by it but yes, I have been to a couple of open home inspections - without his permission."

Jokes aside Myles is clearly excited that the Titans are making a play for a player with Cherry-Evan's cache.

And while the process is largely out of his hands, Myles says he's happy to take a call from Cherry-Evans to discuss the move.

"My phone's not turned off. If he wanted to have a chat to me about anything I'd be happy to answer his questions," he said.

"But for Daly the decision has to be about him and his family, not about what we want.

"It's got to line up for him."

Myles will make his first pre-season appearance on the weekend in a trial against North Queensland in Cairns.

He says he can't wait to get back to playing after a pre-season spent in rehab following surgery on an injured biceps muscle.

"I haven't been too bad to be honest. I probably dramatise it with facials and things like that," he said.

"It is good, the body's good ... the toughest part is the rehab side of it. The hours you've got to put in ... probably the toughest gig you've got to do."
