Des Hasler is reportedly under immense pressure to keep his job after the club took the broom to its football department with up to six members told their services were no longer required.

The club has already parted ways with recruitment duo Noel ‘Crusher’ Cleal and James Whitney, mind coach John Novak, and sprint coach Clayton Kearney.

Assistant coach Kelly Egan is tipped to be the next to go as the club hunts down former favourite son Dean Pay.

Pay has been Ricky Stuart’s defensive coach at Parramatta and Canberra  since 2012.

Hasler has made two grand finals during his five-year tenure but powerbrokers are disappointed at his failure to bring a premiership back to Belmore.

The club has poured significant resources in to their quest to land their first title since 2004.

Canterbury's exit from the finals the past two seasons has Hasler under immense pressure to keep his job.  

Hasler has traditionally run his own race as coach but is expected to give up some of that independence as part of the club's new strategy.
