New contract details have been revealed regarding Manly Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler's contract extension.
It was announced yesterday that Hasler will remain at the North Beaches club for the next two seasons until the end of 2023.

Hasler on Friday said he did not expect contract negotiations to drag out as long as they did.
"When you've been sort of in the game this long, I thought it'd be a lot more simple than that," he toldย NRL Media.ย
"But that's the nature of the beast, isn't it?
"Performance clauses [usually] refers to things like top four or top eight. That's what I sort of read it as that.
"But it certainly wasn't about any of that issue, it's just, it was just what it is and it's now been done."
