Gold Coast Titans head coach and Manly Sea Eagles icon Des Hasler will retire from the NRL at the end of the season, according to one journalist Down Under.

Lol "retire"....

He's getting sacked.

Retiring would be the honourable thing to do but Des doesn't want to retire. He wants to keep coaching. Its just that no one will go near him after this abysmal stint at Titans and recent performance at Manly and Dogs.

Outdated coach that just couldn't adapt to the changing nature of the game and couldn't identify talent if it hit him square in the face.
 
Lol yeah sure "retire", the tight ass prick realised no one wants him anymore...
 
Probably come back in a year to have a crack at the PNG gig.

Also unsure how he can be classed as 'legendary', he was carried by peak Turbo bros and DCE; if he had won at Canterbury, that'd be different

Money seems to drive him a fair bit.
In that case your suggestion of PNG would be a great fit :grinning:
Tax free.
 
Dare I say it... Titans need another rebrand. Mascot and colours mean nothing honestly.
 
Titans are making the right moves recently. The Kelly’s are gone, recruitment manager gone. Kevin Walters and Brad Arthur should be ideal candidates for HC role next year, leaning more towards Brad Arthur as a preferred option in my opinion
 
Two words spring to mind……Thank goodness. He is now unfortunately a dinosaur and irrelevant.
 
Today I am also announcing that I'm 'retiring' from dating model material women...
 
Typical Des leaving a club in cap hell before he goes. While he cannot be blamed for the exits of Fogarty or Sexton as they occurred before he got there, he would have been consulted about David Fifita.
You have one of your highest paid players sign elsewhere, convince them to backflip on that deal and less than 12 months later decide they are not up to team standards to start? That is bordering on maladministration, especially when that salary cap could have been used elsewhere

Nah.
They just need to make finals and week 2 of finals at that.

It will give them a boost and confidence in their playing style.

Their location is already a drawcard, but back to back finals appearances would allow them to attract top talent and then make a push for top 4 and premiership.

It needs a coach that can carefully select a group of players from their schoolboys and QLD cup teams that can make that first step.

Yeah I think both of those candidates could do a good job there.

Lets face it, Titans DNA is fast flowing footy. Similar to what Arthur instilled at Eels amd similar to what Walters had at Broncos.

Getting someone like DES was a disaster before it even happened.
 
walters will be the ideal replacement
 
Next minute.. he goes on “holiday” to PNG to setup shop and try and get the gig out of convenience.
 
The Frizelles thank god for that, now we wont pay unfair dimissal if he wants to leave...
