The Gold Coast Titans come into 2024 with new direction, new leadership and a breath of fresh air around the club.
But whether that is enough to turn around the plight of a club who, on the whole, have struggled since they entered the competition almost two decades ago is anyone's guess.
What is assured for the Titans is that they have a number of players locked up on long-term deals which provide plenty of stability for the club.
Not only that, but their key parts are among those deals. David Fifita and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui both re-signed long-term last year, while star AJ Brimson is also signed.
But it doesn't mean there aren't questions hovering over the Titans.
Here are the ones that will define 2024.
2. Who plays fullback?
One of the biggest decisions for Hasler to make heading into his first season in charge of the Robina-based outfit is around who is going to play in the number one jumper.
What has seemingly been decided is that it won't be AJ Brimson.
In what will be one of the bigger positional shifts for the season ahead, the one-time Origin fullback who has been the Titans' most important player for a number of seasons back-to-back will be moved to the centres for the campaign ahead.
There is a hope it'll keep him on the field more given he has at times struggled injury-wise in recent seasons, but there is also little to no doubt that it's one of the biggest risks for the club going into 2024.
That leaves a two-way battle at the back for the Titans, with Jayden Campbell, who has been relegated to a bench utility role at times in recent seasons, battling boom youngster Keano Kini.
There is little doubt that Kini is the future, but there is also little doubt that Campbell has enough runs on the board to be considered for a spot.
A tricky decision for Hasler whichever way you cut it, but in such a key role of the spine, a critical one.
