Monday’s rugby league rumour mill had Canterbury running Des Hasler out of Belmore and replacing him with Trent Barrett.

Told you it was a good one.

Anyway, you can never write anything off in the NRL so we checked it out.

Hasler is due to front the Canterbury board on Tuesday night but there is nothing to suggest he will be punted just months after signing a two-year contract extension.

“It is a routine meeting. Des is due to front the board to discuss a number of matters,” a club spokesman told us.

As for Barrett leaving Manly…well, that just ain’t happening.

Baz has a year to run on his current deal and the club is talking about extending his stay.

Now, can we all please get back to what we were doing before.
