Kieran Foran insists resurgent Manly can win the NRL premiership in 2026 and will seek out Des Hasler for help to make that dream a reality.
Foran was on Tuesday appointed full-time head coach through 2029 after inspiring the Sea Eagles' spectacular turnaround as interim boss.
Manly have won seven of nine games since the club legend replaced Anthony Seibold as coach following a winless opening month.
It's been a rapid coaching rise for 35-year-old Foran, who retired from playing in November and had been considered only an outside chance to hold the job on his initial appointment.
Foran is so young that Wayne Bennett, his counterpart for Thursday's clash with South Sydney, had coached three seasons in the premiership before he was even born.
