Perhaps the Hasler salary package at Critically-Butchtown includes a haircut allowance? Maybe Des's wife insisted on it?

Understand the Hasler's have been sizing up a new abode - a refurbished ex-Housing Commission charmer at Riverwood. So Des (who still has his first ever 5c coin) can save on some petrol money.

Meanwhile the house at Collaroy Basin will go on the rental market, until Des returns with his tail between his legs, to try and take up a management position at Brookvale in 2017. Having failed to turn around the fortunes of the Dishlicking Berrymunchers. That is of course if the Club wants him back.

Alternatively, Ivan Cleary might put in an offer on Hasler Manor, so he can move to the more exclusive part of Collaroy. The new Penrith mentor is not scared of the petrol costs associated with his long commute to Penrith everyday.

Oh and Brookvale Oval will have been significantly enhanced by then. Because in the interim, Des and 'Dessy's bessy winger' Peter Peters were no longer at the back of the Dee Why RSL auditorium heckling the local members for more Brookvale Oval funding. Savvier operators (Perry and Penn) had instead prevailed on Council, State and Federal governments for more funding - the grown up way.

Pay that. And it beats one of Matas write ups for humour.

I don't think Des will live to regret his decision, I believe he has developed into one of the better coaches out there today. He understands the game and he also understands how to mentor his players in bringing the best out of them and ensuring they are a united loyal group.

Will he have initial straight up success, possibly not as it will take a few years for him to develop the culture he wants the players to have.

I am over the shock that he is going, still don’t like it and never wanted it to happen. It’s done now so let’s go back to back next year.

You forget though that this is at Manly, the club he bled for for over a decade then coached. At the Dogs they don't have that kind of passion and loyalty. Not even their most loved sons can keep jobs there or create passion at the club. How can a blow-in like Des do it?

Tooves will be just as successful because he too bleeds maroon and white. That is why we have been very successful. Its not just the players or the coach because there are teams out there that have been better, had more money, and better staff but not won a single thing. Passion and belief in what you represent and the jersey you pull on is a massive factor we have because we always choose coaches that have also pulled on that maroon and white jersey. If the Dogs think Des can achieve the same then they can wait another 4 years and maybe try with Jim Dymock at the helm. By then Tooves will have another premiership up his belt and the Dogs will want to hire him as their coach.


Difference is, Des has proven to be happy to go elsewhere. Tooves would never leave Manly.

This is what got us in the position we are in now, No one ever thought Des would leave Manly no one including myself when i first heard of the dogs approach to him i laughed and all i would say was Never No Way

Cliff Lyons once said to me "Des is all about Des and always has been ". I reckon Tooves is all about Manly so when I heard Des was going I was reminded of that comment
