Des Hasler!

[Dan]

Anyone else notice the difference with Cartwright in the Coach Box?
The last few years it was like: Teacher’s away. PARTY!!!!
This year he looks like he’s been caught and sat next to the Principal and told not to look up til his homework is perfect.

Haha totally agree, I don't think he will be there that long

Good point. That really stood out to me watching the game when they crossed to the coaches box.

Just like the first two losses weren't the end of the world, we shouldn't get too carried away with one good win. Still a long way to go. I'm just glad the boys got a win - it'll do them all good, especially the younger guys who are new to the team. They've obviously been working hard and deserved the result.

For me, coming back all is forgiven.
It is a great narrative for our club to build from the ashes
Under the radar! In Des we trust
Make Manly great again

Did you see how many times Cherry questioned the refs.....kept them accountable.........all DES.

Hey Bozo, love your work and agree Trent was a TOTAL an absolute failure but for your own sanity when do you let the constant references to how crap he was go? Set yourself free, let it go, move on brother.

It’s hard to let go of things sometimes.

I am still dirty on how Des left....but....I feel at that time his ego had him bigger than the club at that time which was a mistake....plus we All make some poor decisions in this world and he is in a much bigger spotlight, so makes him more accountable.....soured my Party after the GF victory over the Warriors 8 years ago let me add !!.
He went to Dogs where he instantly got them great success....but after falling short and having the Dog fans and media turn on him, was a humbling experience....in fact, Des looked like he didn't want to be there a long way before he was thrown off the pedestal.
It was what had him realise, he was always a Manly man at heart and this is the club that brings out the best in him and he brings out the best in this footy club....Des really looks comfortable at Manly and has always made fans feel confident, with his genuine competitive nature and fighting edge.
The thing I do love that Des brings to the table is Attitude and desire to succeed, more so than other coaches can and just on that, a bit over hearing about comparisons or bagging of other coaches, time to move forward and stay positive.
All 3 games have shown snippets of the Manly us fans have come to expect, this will only improve as the season progresses.
The 1 ingredient that has been most obvious is the desperation defence in the red zone has improved and if this continues to improve, have enough fire power to contend with most teams in this competition.

Too late! I've been carried away and in Taupau style...... we'll win the comp after one win.

There is a long way to go but I liker the direction in which we are headed.

Dessie’s back... back again!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Look I’ll never forgive Des for what he took away in 2011 but I’m pleased he’s back as he truly understands the Manly spirit.

And the players know it.

Good on you Mark, I know there is a fair bit of hurt but you are Manly through and through

 

[MadMarcus]

No way we win that with Barrett as coach.

Personally I forgave Des long ago. He was doing what he thought was best for him at the time and I can't blame him for that. What happened, happened and we can't change it.

But forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. I'm just glad he's finally found his way back home.
