Season summary

On 12 December 2014, Greg Bird was axed as co-captain and fined $15,000 by the club after he was issued with a criminal infringement notice for urinating in public. Paul Carter had his contact terminated by the club after his second drink-driving offence in a year.
In late February 2015, five players were stood down by the Titans after being charged and issued with notices to appear in court in relation to drug offences by Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission. The players were Greg Bird, Jamie Dowling, Kalifa Faifai Loa, Beau Falloon and Dave Taylor. Ex-Titans Ashley Harrison, Steve Michaels and Joe Vickery were also charged and issued with notices to appear in court.
The charges against Bird, Falloon, Harrison and Fai Fai Loa were later dismissed due to insufficient evidence however Dowling, Taylor and Vickery were committed to stand trial against the charges.
On 23 February 2015, the football club was placed in voluntary administration and their licence terminated by the NRL after the Board conceded the club could no longer meet its financial obligations, including staff and player salaries. The NRL assumed full ownership of the Gold Coast Titans however Chairwoman Rebecca Frizelle, Directors Darryl Kelly and Paul Donovan remain on the board, with CEO Graham Annesley also remaining in his role.
