The worst thing Des will be judged by at our club is giving this pretender a career

Former Bulldogs linchpin Josh Reynolds has opened up to Triple M Saturday NRL on the Des Hasler saga that plagued the Bulldogs 2017 season, resulting in the sacking of Hasler.

Despite moving on from the Bulldogs Reynolds has noting but respect for Hasler.

"It's hard for me to bag Des, he gave me everything," Reynolds said. Listen to the full audio below

"When he came to the club I was off the bench as a hooker, he come there and said you're going to be the five-eighth, so how can I bag someone like that"



Reynolds did admit the players needed to take more ownership on-field but found balancing instinct and the set game plan difficult.

"He's obviously our coach and the boss so you got to follow his rules," he said.

"But again it's up to the players to go out there.

"Sometimes in a game I would think I have to try something here but then you have a game plan in the back of your mind."

The new West Tigers recruit says he learnt a valuable lesson from the drama filled year at the Bulldogs.

"This year the biggest thing I've learnt was confidence ... we lacked confidence all year," he said.

"I watched our games after and it frustrates me.

"There was things that used to work and we just weren't doing them as good as we used too.

"We didn't react to negative things happening in the game and when things aren't working you have to change it but we didn't."
It seems The only thing Des taught the players is how to bullshit !

Why we still giving this Tosser air time?
Shouldn’t he be thinking about the tigers, I understand his getting asked questions but honestly just make the answers short and say something along the line of “I’m now fully focused on the Tigers that’s who I’m concentrating on not the bulldogs.”

"We didn't react to negative things happening in the game and when things aren't working you have to change it but we didn't." And it took him until now to see what fans have been pointing out for years?
Because they were too scared of Des & being dropped. That's where a leader should have stepped up. It's apparent nobody did.

Players just keep driving home the point that they want to do X thing during a game, but then don't and stick to the "game plan". So glad Des is gone.
