Fair point, but there's a few clubs that will be wanting one of the game's best coaches in a year's time. It just depends how many of them can afford to throw that kind of money at him.
Bellamy has a job for life, as does Sheens by the look of things.
Then there's:
Bulldogs
Dragons
Knights
Panthers
Rabbitohs
Warriors
whose coaches are almost certainly staying around because they will have only finished their first year in the job.
But these clubs:
Broncos
Eels
are candidates for signing Hasler, because our coaches will both have finished their second seasons. It's not a stretch to say they could be sacked early, especially us who have made a habit of it in recent years.
Finally, the coaches of:
Titans
Sharks
Raiders
Cowboys
Roosters
will all have finished their third years at their respective clubs - Furner will have been at Canberra for 4 and Cartwright will have been at the Titans for 6 years. At those clubs only Henry seems safe, based on current performances, though a couple of those clubs aren't exactly cashed up enough to lure Hasler from Manly.
You'd have to say the Titans, Roosters and Broncos are all realistic candidates for signing Hasler at the end of his Manly contract. The Roosters moreso because they're in Sydney. But if the Bulldogs only sign a caretaker coach (i.e. Dymock) you'd have to think Hasler's already a done deal.
