I agree T Baz is doing all the right things for us. We needed a roster, training and playing style overhaul and he's doing that. I recall how bitter Baz was at Manly with the lack of football dept funds while Des had cameras on everything, advanced stats on players, advanced facilities and a deep football dept. Now Baz has this and more while Des is contending with a tight budget. I wonder who will have a better next 2 years...Baz or Des.

LOL did he ? shit I thought it was one ... well it was still with a stacked side NO different to Trent Robinson at the Roosters.
If you look back on it mate he walked into a dud side. Maybe they were up and comers, but before Hasler coached Manly hadn't made the finals for YEARS.

No way was it a stacked side.

I think peoples hatred for Hasler blind them from the facts. He didn't inherit a good squad at Manly, they didn't even make the finals in his first year. They hadn't made the finals since the 90s lol.

He didn't have a good squad when he came to us. Let's be real, everyone in here wasn't saying we had a chance of doing anything, it was only when we signed Hasler we all got excited.

Hes a great coach, who left us in a shit mess. Thats all.

I'm more along the lines of he a great coach. Mqybe not so with the other stuff.

Its like when people on here say Kemmerer is shit and this and that. He isn't, he's still a good prop.

Just like Hasler didn't fluke making 5 grandfinals and winning two. He didn't land into good teams like Trent Robinson or Madge.

Because l alot of people aren't just saying he was bad at the off field stuff, their hatred has led them to say he can't coach and somehow was lucky to land in good teams lol. Which is far from the truth.

Agreed, I wont question Haslers coaching ability he is a damn good coach but his motives / decisions at times are questionable.
