BULLDOGS coach Des Hasler will travel more than 200km today - and work a 20 hours - as his front-running side prepares for and plays arch-rivals Manly this evening at Brookvale Oval.
Hasler, a workaholic, will leave his northern beaches home at 5am today and drive directly past Brookvale Oval on a 50km journey to Canterbury's home base at Belmore Sports Ground.
He will work on video and preparations before taking his side into a mini-camp from lunchtime at a Sydney hotel. There, they will have lunch and hold a team talk before heading to Brookvale.
Rather than drive, Hasler always rides in the team bus to Sydney games. While at Manly, superstitious Hasler always sat in the second seat on the left. Yet rather than be dropped home - just 5km from Brookvale - after the match, Hasler will stick with his side and return to Belmore on the team bus.
He will then drive back to the northern beaches, arriving home about 1am.
Meanwhile Manly coach Geoff Toovey has tipped big Tony Williams to make a huge impact tonight.
"I just think with the amount of time he has been out through injury and suspension that he just wants to pick things up for himself and for the team," Toovey said.

Down to business as Brookie hype builds
There's no denying the Sea Eagles' second encounter with the Bulldogs and Des Hasler's return to Brookvale is a big deal but the challenge for the Manly men is managing the hype.
While the public anticipation for the blockbuster rematch at Brookvale Oval builds, the players are trying to narrow their focus to exclude everything but the football.
"Nothing other than wanting to perform well and win," co-captain Jason King said.
"...When we get out there and we're playing, we won't be thinking about any of that type of stuff."
