Des Hasler's Bold Statement Making the Titans Believe

[Wombat64]

They will finish higher than Manly on the table

A recruitment strategy of only recruiting from the bottom clubs will do that to a team ..... bottom 4,

Seibold gone by round 18

If Tom had not got injured in 2019 we would have gone very close to winning that year. We were stronger than Canberra or the roosters in my opinion

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

1986 player Hasler giving his all in defence and then rips into his team mates to rev them up. What a window into 20 years later. Dogs don't score another point after this.

From 15:44 to 17:10

Des can talk them up all he wants, their culture is not great and they are consisten under achievers. Also is Des still up to it as a coach??

I think the modern game has slipped past Des & he’s just in it for the $$$$$ now.

And he does very well at pissing off clubs and getting big payouts.

So whilst ever the suckers keep believing , he’ll keep the dream alive.

The robust physical tactics worked in 2007 - 2013, but he also had a handy squad if we look back at it
The modern games speed does not allow the style Des implicates and he is too stubborn to change it and after a while like at Dogs, the players intensity drops off and the results drop off too.
Will always cherish his passion at Manly and the way he was a massive part of turning the Melbourne GF loss in 3007 into the 2008 massacre 40 - 0 .....will always be thankful for that input from Des back in those times

Mark my words. The Tits will not only be in the 8 next year but at least top 6. That side is full of talent. it just needs to find its groove.

Losing Tino was fatal to their cause.
If he’s fully recovered they will be a handful, but they’ve got a lot of ground to make up to get into the top 8

They will end up midfield again. The "coach" and his methods are a thing of the past.

Mark my words. 2025 will be a big one for the Titans. Just giving you ammo for January 2026........

Tino live 10 houses down from me on the GC. he's looking like an absolute Unit at the moment. Think Hamole and add 20% of lean muscle. Not that i was looking of course. just need to clarify that.

Perhaps. did ok in 2019 and 2021.... not that long ago.

No Excuses
Influential coaches come up with solutions
The Titans under Des were a Disappointment
They were erratically inconsistent
Influential coaches don't lose a Middle and lose the plot and end the season 4th last on the ladder

They say you are only as good as your last Great Win
and Des Last Great win was Years away
