Des Hasler to become Gold Coast Titans coach as club sacks Justin Holbrook
Des Hasler will become the coach of the Gold Coast Titans next season, after the club gave Justin Holbrook his marching orders.

Des is joining in 2024? who is taking over for the rest of 2023?
I'd say that quote from Mal has decided his future no matter how much thinking he does. Titans should be changing the locks on his office door as I type.Mal Meninga ain't happy:
Asked whether he imagined that Ben Hunt would join the club, Meninga said he didn’t know.
“I have no idea - I feel ostracised a little bit,” he said.
“I’ve got a bit of thinking to do about what I do in the future - I don’t envisage being part of the club moving forward.”
Meninga f*cking off makes this even better news!Mal Meninga ain't happy:

According to Weidler the board bailed him up around 9:30 this morning and told him he's getting sacked. I think he was under contract until the end of 2024 or 2025 off the top of my head.I'm surprised Baldbrook lasted this long but also surprised they sacked him immediately. Like they've put up with him having no idea this long? I know the GC is where sporting franchises go to die but he's never really looked like he knew how to get any more out of them than he has.
Did he have any other years on his contract? Maybe he's pulled the pin when told he wasn't being renewed.
Differing reports that Hasler may come in straight away and Jim Lenihan will be the interim.No info on the length of Hasler's contract or who is the current coach of the Gold Coast Titans?
Coming from your rabble that's richJust fold already merkins
You obviously don't watch us closely. Holbrook couldn't stop water coming out of a tap. The defensive line speed and structures have been abhorrent during his whole tenure.I don't think Holbrook has been that bad but you wouldn't pass up a chance to grab a top tier coach. Hasler is one of those coaches that can get it right and it pays dividends or it just goes very poorly.
I feel there is a shift in NRL coaching where the older heads are a step behind whereas the younger coaches embrace the changes in culture, the game and the need to adapt to modern training and player management systems.
Should Tallis follow him out the doorMeninga f*cking off makes this even better news!
Mal was doing nothing lets be honest. He was there for a bit of PR and promoting the club.Ok Mal. I’m still not sure what Mal was doing there anyway other than holding a clipboard to look busy.
I thought Holbrook would see out the season tbh. Only so many spectacular second half collapses they could tolerate I guess.
At least Hasler feels like an upgrade at coach, not throwing darts blindly hoping for the best.
Hopefully they have a succession plan as well for when Hasler leaves.
Robbo ain't getting booted. Every team will have a dip, I'd rather have a coach who knows how to dig a club out of the mess.
Sacking Robbo would confirm BA and Sticky as being untouchables.
