Sea Eagles in talks to go back to the future with Des Hasler CHRISTIAN NICOLUSSISTEVE CHRISTO Des Hasler is in the frame to return to Manly. Manly are poised to head back to the future by reuniting with two-time premiership-winning coach Des Hasler. In yet another spectacular twist to the Sea Eagles coaching situation, Hasler has reportedly been sounded out to return on a long-term deal and replace Trent Barrett. Hasler is overseas and, according to a Channel Nine report, has already repaired his relationship with Manly owners the Penn family. Sea Eagles boss Lyall Gorman told Stuff on Friday night: "Des is in discussions along with several others, but there is still plenty of work to do there."
