On a night when the Dolphins claimed their first win against a woeful Titans, Hasler stole the headlines in a three-and-a-half minute press conference that began with an address before questions were asked.
The veteran coach compared the situation to the controversial 2021 Magic Round crackdown, and warned State of Origin would be full of sin-bins at the current rate.
Hasler claimed he was not having a "whinge", and said he was not being critical of the referees so his comment should not warrant a fine from head office.
But he insisted something needed to change after his captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui was sin-binned in the second minute for a high shot on Felise Kaufusi.
"People pay good money to come and see a game of footy," Hasler said.
"With the playing at the head, I think it just interferes a bit with the integrity of what the game is about.
"Where is the intention? It's just another spoiling part of the game. It's not quite as bad as Magic Round two years ago, but I find it's disappointing.
"It's an area that they have to look at with the intention. In six weeks when another competition starts with State of Origin, there are going to be people in the sin-bin.
"I'm not going to be using it as an excuse (for losing) ... but it's just uncalled for. It's not the first time it is going to be stated, but it's a forceful game sometimes."
Dolphins forward Ray Stone was also sin-binned in the game, making for five in the first five games of round five after an NRL edict went to clubs last week.
Hasler was also frustrated second-rower Beau Fermor was penalised in the game, for "tapping" Isaiya Katoa on the head with a try-saving tackle.
"That is a great rugby league play. To come from the other side of the field and get across there and make a great try-saving tackle," Hasler said.
"The referee comes and says you tapped him on the head.
"I don't think there was anything too malicious. I just don't get it. The pressure is coming from somewhere, but we are just too reactive sometimes.
"It's something they are just going to say they have to lower their target. It's not as simple as lowering your target."
Hasler's comments came as Dolphins coach Kristian Woolf declared the monkey was off the back young halfback Isaiya Katoa.
Katoa and fellow half Kodi Nikorima turned in masterclass displays while fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow had his best game of the season.
Man-of-the-match Katoa's running game was phenomenal and he complemented that with astute passing and kicking.
"He was really good, he has been one our best in the first weeks," Woolf said.
"I can see him growing in confidence, I can see him running the football more and playing what he is seeing more.
"He's obviously an excellent player in the making ... It's going to be great watching him get better and better."
Jamayne Isaako scored a double and kicked eight goals, but it was recruit prop Daniel Saifiti that gave the Dolphins the chance to play enterprising football.
Isaako got the scoreboard ticking with a line break and slick pass to put fullback Tabuai-Fidow over for his first try of the year in the 10th minute.
The Titans' attention to detail was abominable in the first half with Brian Kelly offside from a dropout, winger Tony Francis making a play-the-ball error and second-rower David Fifita giving away a silly penalty at marker.
The visitors punished the errors. Marshall-King sent Saifiti crashing over for his first try to give the Dolphins a 16-0 lead at half-time.
Plath and Lemuelu also crossed in the second half, while the Titans only started to play with flair when down 28-0 before late consolation tries through Phil Sami and AJ Brimson.
