<p>Success certainly hasn't changed Manly coach Des Hasler.</p><p>Even after the biggest grand final win in rugby league history and a World Club Challenge triumph, hype-avoiding Hasler insists his side are not the favourites to win the 2009 NRL premiership.</p><p>"We can still fly under the radar," said Hasler with more than a hint of optimism.</p><p>"Melbourne is just on everybody's radar. Melbourne are probably the pick of the teams.</p><p>"Them and the Broncos probably deserve the favouritism."</p><p>Even Hasler knows the likelihood of the Sea Eagles slipping quietly through the NRL season is impossible, especially after becoming world club champions.</p>

I am not so worried about SOO selections. We only need to get into the 8 and be fortunate to have few injuries and we would probably go straight through to another Premiership.
