[Dragon Revival]

They should just throw a decent offer st Demetriou as Bennett is not going anywhere soon.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Here we go with another John Moz special.

Hasler is not joining the Dragons, most likely he'll be coaching NSW or the Gold Coast.

 

[hazzbeen]

Mary will be coach again for another 6 years after we win the Comp in 2018 ...... ONLY JOKING would never happen with Mary , even if he coached us for another 10 years (F*CK thats SCARY )

We can only hope and pray that this is the case.

I'm sure Graig Young thinks that Dean Young should be our next head coach.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Hasler 2018 dragons new coach on a 3 year deal.

Jeez, you can't coach the dragons unless you've played for the dragons, the board learned that lesson after that imposter Bennet won us a comp and raised all the fans expectations, look where that got us.

 

[Redhoopz]

I'm not sure about Hasler as coach. I thought the Dragons should've offered Demetriou the head coach role for this season, after what he did with the Cutters.

Signing Hasler will be one of the biggest mistakes in the clubs recent history.

He has single-handedly f**ked the Bulldogs, they will be feeling the effects of his poor judgement for the next few years.
- Their playing style is stale and boring, absolutely no spark or creativity.
- No passion left in the players.
- He has turned good players into trash (Lichaa, Mbye).
- Screwing up their salary cap (back-ended contracts and signing players on too much money).
- He is all about stats, nothing else.
- His style hasn't evolved with the game, you can't have big 130 kg+ players on the park anymore with the new interchange rules. Souths have found this out as well and look how they're going.
- He has completely neglected their juniors, he only cares for the first grade squad.
- He had Chase Stanley playing halfback.... Enough said.

Could not disagree more

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Could not disagree more

Okay, do you want to offer a counter argument there?

 

[grouch]

Only four coaches in the history of the game have more finals wins than Hasler. Wayne Bennett. Jack Gibson. Craig Bellamy. Tim Sheens. These 4 are virtually the Immortals of coaching.

Hasler turned Manly from a basket case into a premiership powerhouse - with two premierships to boot. He then departed Manly within weeks of a premiership - no coach has ever left a club the same year they won a grand final with them

He then took the Bulldogs to 2 grand finals in 3 seasons - they had reached just 1 in the previous 13. Their second grand final contained a spine of Sam Perrett, Trent Hodkinson and Josh Reynolds. These blokes reached a grand final!

These are facts. He is objectively a great coach.

Now..


We know the Dragons are run like a suburban bowlo. They have no money, and rely on NRL handouts. We can't afford to sack McGregor and pay him out. However... we have shown that when the absolute top echelon of coaches are available (Bennett/Bellamy) that external third-party benefactors are willing to contribute cash to lure those people. I'm saying that Des Hasler fits this bill completely.

Wind back the clock to 2008. Nathan Brown may well have been extended for eternity. He was improving, they had injury and player excuses etc etc. Wayne Bennett was suddenly on the outer at Brisbane, they had suffered a poor 2007, there was managerial change and he was on the nose. Hell, people were saying the same things about him as they do about Hasler now! Past it! Screwed the club! Despite winning a comp just a year or two prior. Several clubs actually turned him down - the Cowboys and Dogs among them. We brought him in and the rest is history.

The parallels are definitely there imo. Approach him today

Don't agree he single handedly f**ked the bulldogs raelene castle had a fair bit to do with it

Behave yourself,mate

....and yet they looked like attacking genius's against us! How often has this happened in the last few years: teams with poor form suddenly look like premiership contenders when they play us.

 

[blacksafake]

Sorry you lost me at Gitano

But he's played the game at a pretty good level so he must know

 

[st.phil]

would take Des in a heartbeat but the Dragons bar of success is so low that 9th is a solid pass mark, Mary will be there next year I'm afraid.

McGuire is the same.
I will be content with either person.
Other people trash is someone else treasure.
Bennet, Mcguire and Hasler!
