Canberra's hunt for a new No.7 will continue after Titans officials told the Raiders that co-captain Jamal Fogarty would not be granted an early release to move to the nation's capital.
News of Ricky Stuart's interest in luring Fogarty south emerged on Wednesday despite the late-blooming 27-year-old inking a Titans extension just last month that would keep him with the club until the end of 2023.
Raiders officials have confirmed to NRL.com that Titans counterparts had scotched suggestions of an early release.
Sources have described discussions between the Gold Coast and Fogarty's camp as "extremely delicate".
It is unclear if Fogarty's management will push for a release further down the line if it means securing his future elsewhere.
