Yeah well we had cook... Nuff saidMy first reaction was “hahaha sucked in Manly” my next was... shit he’s and got a good spine, great ball playing forwards a quick dummy half.. everything he craved for with us and we still almost win a comp..I’m concerned!
Des had 5 years to fix it. Instead, he made it worse as time went on. Tends to happen when u heavily backend contracts.Y'know, we always talk about Dez' game plan, and sure it was an issue.. but do you think a spine of Reynolds, Mbye, Lichaa places better under another coach? those past couple of seasons? we were worse this year till a decent half came into the picture
Let’s make a bet. 6 months into the premiership of Hasler is exceeding expectations I get to be super moderator for a week, if I lose I’m banned for a week.CONFIRMED: https://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2018/10/22/des-hasler-appointed-manly-head-coach/
I give it 6 months before fans are calling for Toovey.
They will play Desball, they will flop, fans will be up in arms.
Des Hasler hasn't changed his style of coaching in like a decade.. he's not about to start now.
Hasler coached sides rely on tight defence and very little on attack.
He'll get caught out really fast these days.
Haha cleal as well and des in denial of his salary cap mismanagement its good to see he has learnt from his mistakes fuck me talk about a stubborn prickON the day Manly announced Des Hasler’s comeback to the club, another Sea Eagles legend also agreed to make a return.
Former Sea Eagles and Test star Noel ‘Crusher’ Cleal has taken on Manly’s head of recruitment role on Hasler’s football club staff from next season.
Cleal has long been regarded as one of rugby league’s best recruitment managers, having previously spotted the likes of Daly Cherry-Evans, Jamie Lyon, Steve Matai, Kieran Foran, Luke Burt, Andrew Ryan, Damian Cook, Matt Ballin, Rhyse Martin, Marcelo Montoya, David Williams and Michael Lichha.
Cleal was Hasler’s recruitment manager during Manly’s golden years when the club made grand finals in 2007, 2008 and 2011.
“I still have the music in me,” Cleal told The Daily Telegraph. “I am absolutely happy to be back, especially with Des being back.
“It was an opportunity too good to refuse. I cannot wait to get my nose in the trough again.
“When Des rang, I jumped at the chance. I am over the moon and am really looking forward to it.
“There is plenty of talent at Manly that the club can build on.”
Cleal played 10 Tests for Australia and 13 State of Origin matches for NSW. He also played 125 games for Manly between 1983 and 1989, scoring 43 tries.
He has made as much impact off the field in recruitment as he did on the field as a rampaging centre and second rower.
When employed as Canterbury’s recruitment guru, Cleal spotted Cook playing fullback in St George’s Illawarra lower grades before luring him to Belmore.
Cook is now the NSW hooker.
Cleal also pulled Cherry-Evans out of suburban Brisbane while, when boss of Parramatta’s recruitment, lured the great Lyon out Wee Waa of back in 2000.
He certainly had his snout in the trough with us. Got plenty of money for doing nothing.It was an opportunity too good to refuse. I cannot wait to get my nose in the trough again.
The fact that the **** couldn't admit his cap management is shit tells me he hasn't learnt a thing.He apparently came out today and said he isn't changing his style.
Desball is back because he is an arrogant fraud.
