Under the Titans moniker, the team competed in back-to-back NBL Grand Finals in 1999 and 2000, losing to the Adelaide 36ers and Perth Wildcats respectively. After the Titans folded in mid-2002, a group fronted by businessman Peter Fiddes was granted a licence in their place, and that group called the new team the Giants. The club struggled financially for one season before being propped up by Jayco caravans' Gerry Ryan for the 2003/04 season. Ryan and co-owner, accountant Sandy Constantine, pulled the team out of the league in 2004, but retained the licence despite the NBL's attempts to take it back.[2] Honour roll
