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.

Ruthless Australia deny Russell a winning farewell
July 22 (Reuters) - West Indies stalwart Andre Russell was denied a winning farewell after Josh Inglis and Cameron Green smashed unbeaten half-centuries to secure Australia's eight-wicket victory in the second Twenty20 International on Tuesday. Put into bat, West Indies managed 172-8 as opener Brandon King topscored with a breezy 51 and Russell smashed 36 off 15 balls in his final knock in international cricket. Australia's Inglis (78) and Green (56) then pulverised the West Indies attack in an unbroken 131-run partnership to complete the chase in 15.2 overs, putting the tourists 2-0 ahead in the five-match series. West Indies did not help their own cause by spilling six catches. "I'm very grateful to end my career here playing in front of my own crowd, family and friends," Russell said. "The result didn't go my way, but at the end of the day, I'm happy, I'm grateful. "I wish the boys all the very best, and I wish them luck moving forward," added the 37-year-old two-time World Cup winner. Australia sprang a surprise by asking Glenn Maxwell (12) to open the innings with skipper Mitchell Marsh (21) but the ploy did not pay off, both departing caught behind inside six overs. However, Inglis smashed five sixes in an unbeaten 33-ball blitz, while Green's second successive fifty of the series included four of them. "I think I felt like I managed the tempo pretty well at times," player of the match Inglis said. "After probably being a bit lucky early being dropped, I felt like I managed those middle periods really well with Greeny. "We sort of identified spin was going to be really tough to play on that wicket, so we sort of took our medicine there and went after the quicks." Australia, who won the preceding test series 3-0, can clinch the series with a third successive victory in Basseterre on Saturday.

Josh Inglis and Cameron Green blast Australia to eight-wicket T20 win over West Indies
Josh Inglis and Cameron Green have smashed half-centuries to power Australia to an eight-wicket win over West Indies in their second T20 clash in Jamaica. The hosts posted 172-8 before Inglis (78 not out from 33 balls) and Cameron Green (56no from 32) led Australia to 173-2, and victory with 28 balls to spare. The pair put on a unbroken 131-run partnership off just 64 balls as Australia took a two-nil lead in the five-match series. Inglis was brutal with the bat, blasting a half century from just 22 deliveries – hitting five sixes and seven fours. An equally aggressive Green cracked four sixes and three fours after starring in a three-wicket win in game one with 51 from 26 balls. Australia sent Glenn Maxwell out to open in the innings after dropping Jake Fraser-McGurk but he made just 12 from 10 balls. Captain Mitch Marsh's 21 from 17 included two sixes but when he fell, the match was in the balance at 42-2 in the sixth over. Inglis and Green then launched an audacious attack on the West Indian bowlers, making light work of the run chase. With Inglis in full flight, Green posted his half-century from 28 deliveries. Australia's spinners were vital in restricting the West Indies batsmen. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa claimed 3-29 from four overs and offspinner Glenn Maxwell 2-15 from two as they put the brakes on the hosts after a brisk start. Opener Brandon King (51 from 36 balls) embarked on an early blitz, reaching a half century from 33 balls. West Indies were 59-0 after seven overs but Zampa struck with the last ball of his first over, the eighth of the innings, when King skied to cover.

West Indies were 73-2 at the midpoint but lost Shimron Hetmyer (14 from 10) in the next over when caught on the square leg boundary to give Maxwell another wicket. Zampa struck twice in the 14th over, dismissing Roston Chase (16 from 16) and Sherfane Rutherford (0 from 2), leaving the hosts wobbling at 5-98. Home-town hero Andre Russell, in his last international match, then produced some farewell fireworks by cracking 36 from 15 balls featuring four sixes and two fours. Australia made two changes from the team that won the series-opener by three wickets. Left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann was summoned for his T20I debut, replacing paceman Sean Abbott, while Fraser-McGurk was dropped with middle-order blaster Tim David returning from a hamstring injury.

Inside the romance between footy star, 23, and another big name in Aussie sport - who's 10 years older than him
Fremantle Dockers star Luke Jackson's relationship with netball star turned TV commentator Kelsey Browne is still going strong, with the couple sharing a loved-up photo to social media after his team's biggest win of the year. The AFL star, 23, hard-launched his relationship with the former West Coast Fever star, 33, in September last year while on a romantic holiday in Mauritius. The romantic revelation came about as Browne took on a new role as a club ambassador for the Fever. Jackson starred for the Dockers over the weekend, kicking a late long-range goal in the fourth quarter to help his side beat Collingwood by a point at the MCG. Browne was on hand for the victory celebrations, with the couple both posting a photo of themselves embracing in the sheds after the match as she looked smitten with her man. 'Great photo of a great couple,' replied one footy fan. 'Winning on and off the field,' said another. 'We love to see it,' posted a third. Rumours about the couple hooking up first surfaced in July last year when Browne posted a TikTok video showing her engaging in her 'fave nightly ritual' as she stood in a backyard pool while wearing a heavy jacket. That took on new meaning when footy fans realised that pool was in a post Jackson made on Instagram last May, showing him cooking on a barbecue. Then, in August last year, they were seen together in a photo the Fever posted from the team's annual awards night. Browne and Jackson also posted sots of the same bath on the deck of a cabin in Busselton, a popular holiday spot about 200km south of Perth. Earlier this year, rumours circulated that Jackson might be looking to move to a Victorian club, despite being contracted with Fremantle until 2029. Channel Seven reporter Mitch Cleary reported that the couple were interested in heading to Victoria, where Browne is originally from and her family is still based. However, Dockers coach Justin Longmuir poured cold water on the speculation. 'Not a concern. Nothing I've seen of Luke throughout the pre-season has shown me he wants to leave the club,' Longmuir said. 'Someone from the club has spoken to him already and he's reiterated that he doesn't want to go anywhere and he's never been happier. 'We'll leave it at that, I reckon.' Browne, who currently works as a commentator for the NBL, was one of the country's top attacking players during her career, winning two premierships with the Lightning and going on to represent the nation internationally. A Geelong native, she comes from a sporting family, with her dad Mark playing for the Cats in the 1970s and her sister Madison going on to be one of the nation's most successful netball players.
