The performance of Canterbury Bulldogs chief executive, New Zealander Raelene Castle, and controversial coach Des Hasler is set to come under the spotlight in what could be a volatile emergency meeting on Friday. The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Castle and Hasler's roles at the club are under review following growing dissatisfaction at the famed Bulldogs club. Castle and Hasler are understood to be close and she has been a vocal supporter of the coach. But the Sydney Morning Herald reported today that Canterbury legend and director Steve Mortimer fears the Bulldogs are "losing our DNA" under Hasler. The former Australian test halfback told the Sydney Morning Herald he respected Hasler as a coach but questioned whether the former Manly mentor was the right fit for the Dogs.
