Analysis: Thomas Kenneally believes Manly coach Des Hasler delivered one of the greatest speeches in league history
Des Hasler was forever apologising during his playing days for upending his opponents into the turf, to the point he earned the moniker “Sorry”.
“He’s got a very zen demeanour these days and it’s not an artificial one. He’s at peace with the game and with himself. Des is slowly becoming what he has always been, a bit of a prophet … He is a man who worries about the condition of the world. Not all of them are that, they need a certain fixity to stop the team knocking-on all the bloody time.During his address, Hasler alluded to the man who helped him write it.
“That he believed it was worth communicating to the football and broader community, that meant a lot to me.”This is not Hasler’s first great speech. When former Manly prop Addin Fonua Blake was fined for calling a referee a “retard” two years ago,. For seven minutes he read from a script that Melton also helped him prepare.
For proof, look no further than his backing of Brett Stewart through sexual assault allegations, James Graham over a biting claim and Manase Fainu
