And to all the people talking about Des living in Bankstown, he'll live where every NRL player lives, the Shire.
@Bunniesman - There are some similarities, but the Sea Eagles won't lose
Matai, Foran - NZ
Possibly Brett Stewart (Sticky seems to love Dugan).
The forward pack is pretty safe, apart from Glenn Stewart and Watmough you're not going to see them go to Origin imo.
Lyon won't play rep.
They should stay pretty solid, though losing the Stewarts could be an issue, but not as big as St George losing their entire pack essentially.
DCE may or may not play, and if he does it'll be short stint off the bench so he'll miss 3 weeks, but be fresh (sort of) for the following weeks.
Have I missed anyone?
Lol. I know the shire. Too many 'foreigner' types in the NRL to live in the 'shire'. More would live in the eastern suburbs and the lns/northern beaches. With a few living in the north west.
NOONE lives in 'the shire' unless they have to. FFS, Lara Bingle is from there and even she f**ked off as soon as she made money.
I reckon Hasler is stupid. He had a great opportunity to create a dynasty at Manly. Something tells me that a key Manly player will join Hasler and the Bulldogs in 2013.
The only people who care about dynasties are fans. Coaches and players are professionals, the most important thing for them is the $.
I doubt Hasler would tear the club apart by bringing key players with him, the club also won't allow it.
You mean like Bennett wouldn't do the same thing to the Dragons...because St George wouldn't allow it?
Manly's power in this situation is limited. Some of those players will likely want to be coached by Des.
Well Foz said he wanted to captain Manly one day. He is still contracted to 2014 aswell.
Isn't he the one with the supposed get out clause?
If this is true (you have a SMH 'journalist' contradicting himself within 24 hours, maybe 12 hours).
If you were Dymock would you accept a 1 year deal knowing that was it .. no extention ? Manly will undoubtedly suffer but the Bulldogs more so in 2012.
Not a fan of either club especially the bred not bought one but it would be better allround if Hasler left now and Manly appointed a new coach. They mention Toovey but the guy is a Chartered Acct and NRMA board member. Does he have the time to be full time coach ?
Of course Dymock would accept it. Head coaching gigs don't go on trees, there's only 16 of them at any one time, he'll take it as an audition for a job somewhere else in 2013. Who knows, by then their might even be two new teams headhunting for a coach, as well as any other team that has sacked theirs.
He takes the job, if he looks half decent he'll have a longterm gig afterwards.
he's handled the whole thing poorly, good ole show me the money Des. he shouldve delayed any decision on his future until the end of the season. this way if did decide to go, then he could cut ties cleanly with Manly and join Canterbury for 2012.
f**k the loyalty and the money BS. if this goes down tomorrow, Des has been extremely unprofessional.
Don't be naive. If he waited that long the Canterbury offer may not have been on the table this time next year.
And unprofessional? Look up the meaning of the word moron, he is being professional. Look at Bennett, if the most respected coach in the game can do it so can Hasler.
