In a classic clash of wills, Gold Coast Titans coach Des Hasler is gearing up to face off against his former club Manly for the first time since making the switch to the Titans.

With the Titans yet to notch a win this NRL season, Hasler is feeling the pressure to secure a victory against his old team in the upcoming grudge match on Saturday.

Despite his fiery feud with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and the Titans' winless start to the season, Hasler remains tight-lipped on one burning question - the $565,000 settlement offer from Manly.

The seasoned coach, who has a storied history with the Sea Eagles as both a player and a coach, is embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club over the settlement amount, which is currently before the NSW Supreme Court.
