Gold Coast Titans coach Des Hasler blows up at players in the shower

Gold Coast Titans coach Des Hasler has been caught on camera delivering a savage spray to his players over one simple act.

Gold Coast Titans coach Des Hasler was not happy after his side fell to the Wests Tigers 21-20 on Sunday.

The Tigers trailed 20-16 with five minutes left but levelled it up when Jeral Skelton crossed in the left corner. Doueihi would miss the subsequent sideline conversion but became the hero just minutes later.

Doueihi kicked the matchwinning field goal in the dying seconds as celebrations broke out at Leichhardt Oval.

Hasler was left seething after the loss and his frustration boiled over in a fiery locker room moment that was captured on camera.

As Hasler entered the rooms to address his playing group, he was left infuriated by the sounds of the showers running.

The 64-year-old exploded into a fit of rage as he shouted at the players in the showers, forcing them to walk out and sit with the playing group.

According to Code Sports, Hasler’s on camera outburst was actually his second spray because the Titans players didn’t respond sufficiently to his initial post-game spray.

“Des was furious,” and anonymous player agent said.

“He didn’t get the response he thought he should have got after the first blow-up so he dragged them out of the showers for another go.

“Des just didn’t want the players to think they could get away with that loss so easily – and he was right.

“All coaches want to see the players feel some pain, some hurt, after a loss so they weren’t getting away with it. Des went back for round two. I think Des showed more passion than some of his players.”

According to the report, David Fifita and Klese Haas were among five Titans players who Hasler demanded to jump out of the showers and come back for another spray.

The vision was shown on Sunday Night with Matty Johns with Bryan Fletcher making jokes at the players who were scolded.

“I think he’s blowing up because they’re all showering in their undies,” Bryan Fletcher quipped.

Hasler’s frustration was just as evident during his post-match press conference as he lamented several “dumb” mistakes by his playing group.

“It’s really disappointing that in the second half we fumble, we bumble, we miss tackles, we throw balls over the sideline, we get carried over the sideline and we complete 9 from 15 sets.

“I’m really disappointed in that performance. It was really dumb.

“We didn’t need luck. There was the scrum penalty and three knock ons that the referee missed, but I’m not going to blame the loss entirely on the referee’s performance.

“We didn’t help ourselves.”

The loss drops the Titans to 4-13 on the season and keeps them glued to the bottom of the ladder.
