[Resurrected] SACK Des Hasler!!

oh yes - no doubt about that I have no idea - never ever in question. Just a dribbler, moron and fool like everyone else. Sometimes it is just the level of idiocy that I demonstrate that changes.
Cheers to continuing our idiotic, moronic, foolish dribble for many seasons to come on Silvertails.
Yours in mutual dribble. (Hmmm. Yes that last bit sounds very suss and very dodgy) 😎
Go Manly
In Manly We Trust
 
Haha, I'm sure in normal circumstances I'd find that funny @:D
Yeah @Ryan I get it. It's a bit soon. I'm all about empathy, but I will generally throw a little bit of concrete into the mix as well.

HASLER SET TO GET LIFT WITH NEW EAGLES DEAL
Despite a disappointing season by Manly standards, the Sea Eagles are about to extend the contract of veteran coach Des Hasler, probably this week.

CEO Steve Humphreys says: “We’re in the final throes of sorting out an extension beyond next year. It’s very close. We’re 12th on the ladder but there’s no lack of confidence in Des. It’s more about a shocking run with injuries. We’re probably only a few days away from finalising everything.”
Well done Mr Penn and Mr Humphries.
 
Just realised I hadn't posted in this (potentially epic) thread.

Now I have.

Des deserves "Coach of the year" hands down based on team improvement , but he won't get it (Bellamy will break record for most consecutive wins; Robinson is basically seen as a God for making the Rooters endless salary cap work in an injury-ravaged year....big whoop) - But Des'll be happy about that, flying under the radar and all that jazz..

Simply put, compare all teams finishes 2020 vs all teams finishes 2021. Des has moved a team up the ladder more than ANY other coach, by a substantial margin. 8 places improvement, with the only additions being Aloiai & Foran, and good ol' Karl Lawton mid-season, carrying long-term injury.

How many punters would see those 3 signings as a (minimum) 8-place rise on the ladder?Other than Manly, 8 of the top 9 teams right now, are the exact same as last year.

Isn't the role of a 'coach of the year' to improve the team's outcomes, over a single season?

You can't compare Manly's rise, to being a major contender within a year, with any other team. No Turbo excuses/explanations please - Turbo '21 is not Turbo of '20 - he has emerged as the game's best player, this year. Potential be damned, how many players have 'potential'. It's entirely on Turbo himself to realise that potential, inspired and managed by Des (or Harry from the corso....maybe)

Sack Des if you like, but enjoy the step down in the replacement, no matter who it is.

Des is clearly the coach of the year. The turnaround in Manly's game since the early rounds has been outstanding. If he takes us to a GF, and I think he will, there should be no question about this.
