Let's not give Des "all" the praise, previous recruitment did extremely well with limited funds in targeting under valued talent and having the right physical size component.
If you don't get the player mix right no amount of coaching will work wonders, Des showed that at the Dogs.
In saying that you need a quality Coach to extract the best out of what you have and Des has done an amazing job in both bringing out the best in individuals and adding solid structures so quickly.

friggen useless outline! Get rid of it!
Des Hasler became blinded by science and stats. It was a dangerous cocktail that brought him down.
But Dessie’s back – and it’s in large part because Manly have got no money for him to experiment in the lab any more. Out of necessity, he’s gone back to basics – coaching footballers to play football.
He’s also operating with a clear mind. The year off after his brutal axing by Canterbury at the end of 2017 gave him time to reassess his methods and observe the game clearly away from the madness of the week-to-week grind.
And in Dessie’s world, that madness comes with a capital M.
Hasler can coach: two premierships at Manly and five grand final appearances all up.
In his last days at the Bulldogs, he’d lost the dressing room. The players weren’t listening to him any more. But he hadn’t lost the room in the traditional sense where players begin to dislike the coach. At the Bulldogs, the players still loved him, and his former players at Belmore still do. They don’t have a bad word to say about him.
But they’d stopped hanging off his every word, as they did when he drove them to the 2012 and 2014 grand finals, because they no longer trusted his methods.
“Dessie’s lost it,” was the familiar refrain.
He became obsessed with spending in the football department; splashing out on sports science. He bought a second-hand big screen kind of thing and hung it on the Belmore scoreboard above the hill so he could film training and then play it back to the players to show them what they were doing wrong in the middle of the session.
There was one stat on which he became far too reliant: set completions. He believed you had to complete at 85 per cent to win.
yadda yadda...
Being sacked was the best thing that could have happened to Hasler. The Bulldogs paid him out and, on gardening leave, his mind cleared. Now he is back where he does his best stuff: his spiritual home, Manly, with poor facilities and no money.
Facilities former coach Trent Barrett couldn't work with.
No longer suffering paralysis by analysis, Hasler has orchestrated an underdog drive up the NRL ladder for the Sea Eagles. Backs to the wall stuff.
He’s now concentrating his efforts on flying under the radar.
One Thursday he phoned the Channel Nine sports desk to find out who was attending his weekly press conference the next day. He then told us we shouldn’t bother turning up as he wasn’t going to say anything interesting. Classic Hasler.
The challenge for him now is how long can he stay like this and resist the temptation to drive for greater spending on his previous football addictions?
The Penn family look in no mood whatsoever to spend more. Yes, there’s a planned centre of excellence for Brookvale Oval but, like all things at Manly, we’ll believe it when we see it.
And, if you were the Penns and Des has taken you to the cusp of the top four out of nowhere, why would you spend any more?

That GAP year really helped Des tweak his tactics.
At Manly he allowed each player to play ad lib if they earnt the right and felt the urge
At the Dogs he insisted on fully choreographing each game and those block plays were monotonous
Des must have studied each Club all 2018 and now he can change the game plan each game to exploit a weakness
Will be exciting to watch Manly during the finals as the players are now trusting the Des Method and loving the wins
