Six days on from Des Hasler\u2019s viral blow up at Leichhardt Oval, it was a far more jovial Titans locker room following Gold Coast\u2019s upset win over the Warriors.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Titans delivered for their coach in what was Hasler\u2019s 500th game as a NRL head coach, although the 64-year-old refused to believe his epic spray last Sunday had anything to do with the team\u2019s turnaround.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it had anything to do with the dressing down at all. They are very proud individuals and that\u2019s the response we want,\u201d Hasler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cReally proud of them particularly coming here to Mt Smart, which is a tough place to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

The win lifts the Titans off the bottom of the table, although a Souths win on Saturday night would ensure the Gold Coast drop back down to 17th again.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s been another tough year for the Titans and signs are pointing towards Hasler departing the club at season\u2019s end, the veteran coach believes there\u2019s plenty the team can hang their hat on as the 2025 campaign winds down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how we want to play the way we\u2019ve been building over the last month. I thought we managed the game with possession,\u201d Hasler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got through our sets and played really disciplined footy and the difference is that you win games (when you do that).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t start that well but maybe that was a good thing, maybe that lulled the Warriors into a bit of insecurity. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn saying that, I\u2019m just terribly proud of what the players did tonight and we\u2019ll get a bit of confidence out of that now.\u201d <\/p>\n

There was a humorous moment during the Titans\u2019 presser when Hasler was asked why his side has the wood over the Warriors. <\/p>\n

The Titans have now won three straight against the New Zealand side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to say anything yet. We have to play them again this season so I\u2019m not going to say anything about that,\u201d Hasler said with a laugh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six days on from Des Hasler\u2019s viral blow up at Leichhardt Oval, it was a far more jovial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-23606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
