Des Hasler has the ‘desire’ to coach in the NRL again, and Manly have given him the chance
DES Hasler has finally addressed speculation he will take over as head coach of Manly, saying he has a desire to coach in the NRL and the Sea Eagles have given him the chance.

The two-time premiership-winning coach arrived back in Sydney over the weekend and held a “catch up” with his manager George Mimis on Monday, where he was briefed on the role.

It was then that reporters were able to speak to Hasler to confirm his interest.

“I haven’t signed any deal. I’ve just arrived back from overseas,” Hasler told Channel 9.

“Obviously I have a desire, or I would like to coach in the NRL again.

“Basically it was just a matter of being briefed [by Mimis] and catching up about the possibility — the possibility — of coaching at Manly again.”

It wasn’t until late last week that Hasler emerged as a target for the under siege Sea Eagles, who are desperate to replace Trent Barrett before the pre-season starts next month.

While in Australia camp, Manly skipper Daly Cherry-Evans was asked about the possibility of playing for Hasler again and admitted he has a soft spot for his former coach.

“If I was to link up with my first-ever first-grade coach, I’d be all for it,” he said.

“Everyone hates Manly so our backs are against the wall and we love playing that style of footy and living with that mentality.

“Obviously Des was a big part of that. If he gets the opportunity to come back, I’m sure he’ll pick up where he left off.”

Manly are expected to confirm their coach within the next week.

Not sure the wage thing matters. Lots of sports have players paid way more than the coach. Football, NFL, NBA, Baseball etc etc.
It's about respect and a desire to win.
If a player doesn't have the respect required I don't care who he is he can F##koff.... the business is now all about worth and unfortunately for owners players are the commodity. Coaches to some point as well but not as much.

The yankees have 15 players earning more than manager Aaron Boone (1.1 million p.a,)
The highest is nearly 25 X the manager's salary.
And Jacoby Elsbury will earn over 20x the boss and has been injured all season.

Why do I get the feeling he will announce he will be coaching Parra (for example, insert other rubbish club here) next year?
