Yeah, currentlly at Wests as strength and conditioning coach, recently West Indies S & C coach.
Previously head coach at the Bulldogs for 10 years winning the championship.

Des Hasler is the coach that the Bulls are courting... with Beaver as assistant.

Notwithstanding Hood's loyalty to MacNamara so far, I sincerely hope that he has already been doing due dilligence on options for a coach for next season.

In spite of the excellent work that MacNamara has done in changing the structure of the club (some see this as propaganda, but I see no reason to doubt it) and in spite of the restrictions that he has worked under, the harsh fact is that he hasn't yet proven himself as a first team coach. Due to his long contract, he has the luxury of the rest of this season to get to the point of proving himself, and I greatly hope that he does. However, the club can't afford to take it on trust - hence the need to be sounding out alternatives already.

If that has been happening, and if MacNamara does go mid-season, one would hope that there might be a possibility of getting a quality replacement in quickly - but failing that, I for one would be willing to put up with a caretaker, if I knew and was happy with the incoming coach for next season.

Allan Langer?

Alfie has been suspended from the Broncos.

Drink Driving, I gather.

If Todd Carney was refused a work permit then would a similar conviction put any application for Alfie Langer in jeapordy?

Not really sure - didn't Carney have multiple convictions rather than just one drink driving offence?

I've got a semi just thinking about that.

Des Hasler would be the best coach in SL.

Bit drastic fleeing the country for a drink drive offence though, especially to come to Bradford!

I'd love to see him at Odsal but it doesn't seem very likely IMO. But you never know I suppose.

and I have a feeling Beaver would be the only one who could talk him into it but ooooo would be amazing if that happened

Doubt Hasler would leave Manly or the NRL though
