NRL coach is busted on video losing his mind at his players for daring to take a shower
Cameras captured Hasler's explosive tirade following the match as he was seen ordering some of them to get out of the showers.
Players looked on in shock as a clearly furious Hasler unleashed at some of his stars, although it is not known what he was saying.
The coach's almighty spray came after a shocking day for the Titans, who were leading 20-16 with four minutes left in the match.
However, a late try to Jeral Skelton evened things up before Adam Doueihi slotted a field goal from 25 metres out to win it with 15 seconds left.
The result piles more pressure on Hasler, with Gold Coast now officially out of finals contention and alone in last place on the NRL ladder.
Speaking post-game to media, Hasler was particularly unhappy with the side's second half.
'We go out and bumble, we fumble, we throw balls over the sideline and get carried over the sideline,' he said.
'We can't land on the bouncing ball. We miss tackles and complete nine from 15 [sets].
'I'm really disappointed with that performance. It was pretty dumb.'
Meanwhile, finals action also looks unlikely for the Tigers, despite the victory.
They would need to go undefeated though the final seven rounds to have any hope of snapping a 14-year drought.
But another spoon now at least appears out the window, up in 12th spot and four points clear of the Titans, with a bye still in hand.
'It's more frustrations around where we think we could have been, where we could be, and where we are,' Benji Marshall said.
'It was important to get the two points today. I don't want to say about how we got it, but we got it.
'If I'm being honest I thought today was our worst game. We didn't play anywhere near our standard of doing things.
'In the first half we were looking for things that weren't there, and it looked like our heads weren't on the job.'
The Tigers made 14 errors and the Titans 12, while the hosts were also guilty of having their attack appear disjointed at times.
The bright spot for the Tigers was mid-season pick-up Taylan May, who scored one try and set up the team's other two in his first NRL game in 14 months.

The Orioles' Ramon Laureano hit his third home run of the series, a two-run shot in the first inning, and Ramon Urias added an RBI double. Charlie Morton (6-8) allowed three runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings. Gregory Soto tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his first save. The Guardians' Steven Kwan recorded his first career two-homer game, clearing the wall in right field in the third and fifth innings. Logan Allen (6-9) gave up four runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. Blue Jays 11, Tigers 4 Ernie Clement's four-RBI game included a three-run homer during a five-run, sixth-inning outburst, and visiting Toronto blasted slumping Detroit. Nathan Lukes had a double and two-run homer in the opener of a four-game series between the division leaders. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. supplied three hits, two runs and two RBIs for the Blue Jays. Addison Barger also drove in two runs, while Joey Loperfido added a solo homer. Eric Lauer (6-2) limited the Tigers to one run and five hits in eight innings as Toronto won for the sixth time in seven games since the All-Star break.

Tigers continue slide in blowout loss to Blue Jays
July 25 - Ernie Clement drove in four runs, including a three-run homer during a five-run, sixth-inning outburst, and the visiting Toronto Blue Jays blasted the slumping Detroit Tigers,11-4, on Thursday night. Nathan Lukes had a double and two-run homer in the opener of a four-game series between the division leaders. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. supplied three hits, two runs scored and two RBIs. Addison Barger also drove in two runs, while Joey Loperfido added a solo homer. Eric Lauer (6-2) limited the Tigers to one run and five hits with six strikeouts in eight innings as Toronto won for the sixth time in seven games since the All-Star break. Jahmai Jones and Spencer Torkelson homered for the Tigers, who have lost 10 of their last 11 games. Detroit starter Reese Olson (4-4) was charged with five runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. Jones, the second batter in Detroit's order, gave the Tigers an early lead with his homer. He smacked a Lauer fastball over the left-center field wall. Lauer settled in from that point. Olson was cruising along as well, allowing just three baserunners in the first five innings, none of whom got past first base. Everything changed in the sixth. George Springer drew a one-out walk and Guerrero lashed an Olson changeup to left for a double, scoring Springer. Following a groundout, Barger was given an intentional walk. That strategy backfired, as Clement jumped on a hanging slider and drove it over the left-center field wall. Loperfido made it 5-1 four pitches later when he yanked a changeup over the right field wall. Toronto's onslaught continued in the seventh against Dietrich Enns. Lukes led off with a double and scored on Guerrero's one-out single. After Bo Bichette reached on an infield hit, Barger ripped a triple to right to bring in two runs. Barger then scored on a Clement sacrifice fly to make it 9-1. Lukes blasted his homer in the eighth off Geoff Hartlieb, who was elevated from Triple-A Toledo earlier in the day. --Field Level Media

English footy star reveals how he almost LOST his leg after a spider bite: 'It was a real welcome to Australia'
John Bateman has faced some of the toughest assignments getting around on the footy field, but nothing could prepare him for Australia's deadly wildlife - that almost cost him his leg. The incident happened in Perth when the Cowboys were scheduled to play the South Sydney Rabbitohs on April 12 and Bateman was a late scratching. Now it can be revealed that his absence from the team was because of a spider bite that was so severe, the English international nearly lost his leg. 'I think it [the spider] was on the field, and it bit me on my leg. I wasn't too sure what it was, I've never had to worry about that before,' Bateman told 'I had a rough sleep on Wednesday night, and I literally got rushed to hospital on Thursday morning. 'It was pretty bad. I was just hot and cold, and my leg from above my knee to beneath my ankle went all red, so I was pretty worried. 'But when I got into the hospital, I just said to the doctor, 'just make sure I'm ready for the game on Saturday'. 'Then on the Friday morning he came back in, because they had taken bloods, and he said, 'mate, there is no chance of you playing, we're just looking to save your leg'.' News quickly got back to the UK where his family, including his daughter Millie, still resides. 'They were just as shocked as I was, but I was in the best place and it's a credit to Perth Hospital,' he said. 'I got away in one piece, but it was a real 'welcome to Australia,' put it that way.' Bateman began his NRL career in Australia with the Canberra Raiders in 2019, quickly becoming a fan favourite. Known for his aggressive defence and high work rate, he played a key role in Canberra's run to the 2019 NRL Grand Final. After two standout seasons, he returned to the UK in 2021 to rejoin Wigan, citing a desire to be closer to family. Bateman remained a dominant force in the Super League before seeking another opportunity in the NRL. In 2023, he signed with the Wests Tigers, but struggled to find consistency in a struggling side. Despite his strong individual efforts, the Tigers failed to climb the ladder, and Bateman's future became uncertain. By the end of the 2024 season, rumours swirled about a potential move back to Queensland. The North Queensland Cowboys secured his signature, aiming to bolster their forward pack with his experience. Bateman spoke about the dramatic change in conditions from Bradford to tropical north Queensland and how he had to adapt - including the deadly wildlife. 'I got there on January 2 and for a lad from the north of England it was a lot different to where I'm from,' he said. 'It's not really the sun, it's more the humidity and when you're running you just get fatigued quick. It's really tough, it zaps the energy out of you and I think it's so hard to actually get fit in the heat. 'When you get to a certain point, you can normally push through it anywhere else in the world, but because of the humidity it just literally takes it all out of you and you can't continue running. 'I'm sure every other player that's played up in Townsville will vouch for that. You've just got to get used to it.' Bateman also backed under-fire coach Todd Payten, who has come under scrutiny as the Cowboys crashed out of finals contention despite boasting a strong roster including a host of internationals and State of Origin representatives. 'Todd is pretty straight down the line like some of the other coaches I've had - Shaun Wane, Wayne Bennett, and Ricky Stuart. He tells you how it is so you know where you stand and I like that,' Bateman said.
