Ex-Manly head coach Des Hasler will have to wait another six months for a hearing in his court case over his sacking from the club.

Hasler, who coached the Sea Eagles to two NRL premierships, is suing the club in the NSW Supreme Court over its decision to terminate his contract early.

A two-day hearing date was set by the court on Friday, commencing on November 11.

Hasler has refused to discuss the court case at recent media conferences, making it clear that he would not answer questions about the lawsuit citing legal grounds.

The Sea Eagles offered Hasler a $565,000 settlement after he was sacked by the club, but he wants double that sum.

Issues between the coach and his then-club emerged after a high-profile controversy during the 2022 season, when seven players opted against wearing Manly's LGBTQIA+ jersey on religious grounds.

Hasler criticised the club's handling of the saga, saying players should have been involved in discussions about the jersey.

The team lost seven straight matches after the controversy, dashing what had been a promising season and the club's hopes of reaching the finals.

Hasler's position came under scrutiny despite the now-63-year-old having a year to run on his contract.

The early exit from the season meant he failed to satisfy a clause in his contract that would have triggered an automatic extension and he was let go by the club.

Hasler was appointed Gold Coast Titans head coach on a three-year deal ahead of the 2024 season.
