Gold Coast CEO Mark Evans would not be drawn on speculation over coach Rodney Eade's future, saying the club would work through its start to the 2017 season as a unified group.

Eade is in the final year of his three-year contract and Gold Coast is off to a 0-2 start after suffering a 102-point belting from Greater Western Sydney on Saturday.

Evans, who has been in the chair a little over a month, sat in on the coach and player review on Monday and liked what he saw.

He rubbished the notion Eade's job was in immediate danger.

"Let me say this straight and clear, it's round two and we've got 20 rounds left in the home and away season and plenty left to achieve," Evans told AFL.com.au.

"I won't get drawn into any of that.

"All I would say is this is a unified problem and it needs a unified solution. I won't back away from that."

Evans said there was no sugar-coating Saturday's horror show, but he was pleased with the response.

"No-one's running away from what was a poor performance," he said.

"They're not trying to blame the individual or find a scapegoat or find excuses.

"My questioning and discussion with Rocket have only been about "are you asking the right questions of your coaches and players", and I think he did today, and the second part was "if you think there's a way we can help, let us know".

After such a promising pre-season, it's been a disastrous opening fortnight for the SUNS.

The opening round loss to Queensland rivals the Brisbane Lions shell-shocked them.

Evans said with such a short time in the job, it would be unfair for him to form an opinion of the football department, but acknowledged it was something he would need to dive into in more depth.

"There's no doubt from a performance perspective we need to show our fans and the AFL public there's a different level of intensity needed to the way we play compared to what we did on Saturday night," he said.
