Hasler has the good folk just north of the Tweed starting to believe. If it is not this year, look out 2025. Hasler has instilled a tough defensive mindset in the team and he demands excellence.Captain Kieran Foran, who had two stints under Hasler at Manly prior to his arrival on the Gold Coast, said the biggest change in the coach was his ability to communicate with the younger players at the Titans.
“He’s adapted with the new generation. You need to learn how to get responses in a different way. Des has always been able to give a player a cuddle, he just deals with them differently now. “I wasn’t mellow at half-time on the weekend, I’ll give you the tip. I let rip,” he laughed. “I will say I’ve really enjoyed working with young players on their journey. They’re chasing their dream. It’s great to be a part of it. It keeps me going.”
