Titmuss, 20, became ill after training on MondayDes Hasler says club ‘devastated’ by his deathManly have been rocked by the death of emerging young forward Keith Titmuss following a training session at the famous NRL club. The 20-year-old fell ill while stretching after a session on Monday morning, and later died in Royal North Shore Hospital.
A promising prop who had come through Manly’s junior ranks, Titmuss had earned a call-up to Manly’s full-time 30-man squad for next season. “We are all devastated by this news,” Manly coach Des Hasler said. “Keith was a very popular character amongst the playing group. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten by the Sea Eagles.”
