Hasler's problems were with players that are no longer at the club. If you listen to Watmough's podcast he explains why he left in the first place. All the players he pissed off at Manly are long gone like.
"This guy can break tackles, which we don't have a lot of in our team. We were 13th in the NRL last year. Even in '22 we were 11th best. Our highest in recent years was 2021 when we were 7th for tackle breaks. The last time we were top four in this…"
"I do think you can keep Russell in the squad most weeks just as backup or cover for any injury, but I'd see how ado and Kelly look to start season. And on other edge Will and Bailey. Can always bring Russell back in if need be. "
"💯 Pezet Kautoga and now Kelly and JaC attack I'm not to phased about but defense for me is the key.Our edges need to be secure.Combinations are everything and to think we go through it again in 27 on this side also."

NO it will work out for them, they will just go back to rorting the cap and make big back ended deals.
Watch the exodus of players
Des Hasler is a good coach! He just wasn't suited to the Bulldogs! He's a Manly guy through and through! I reckon it work out for him.
Shame they didn't offer it to BA
Parra keen on DCE
It's up to des now he has a 3 year offer on the table he should take it. Des might clear the decks to get more cap room.
