Some more than other’s.They all certainly have - fans may take a little longer it seems if the forum is anything to go by.
Kicking stones.., what’s the point 🙄

Well Jackson’s a big boy at least 🤷♂️They all certainly have - fans may take a little longer it seems if the forum is anything to go by.
Remember tigertragic Hastings said the same early last year. Then when he left said he wanted to play under Sheens to be part of the solution. Just think that's kind of NRL player etiquette, not throwing the current coach under a bus.That’s why IP stated he signed to be coached by Madge, but don’t let facts get in the way

You dont choose to take up an offer at another club while contracted unless the club your at allows it. Let's not pretend the coach wanted him.
Sheens blocked Newcastles attempts to sign Brooks who reportedly wanted out at some point. He could have done exactly the same if he wanted to retain Hastings but instead released him.
Sheens decision allowed it to happen and who benefits best out of it we will find out next year.
You’re conveniently forgetting Sheens traded him for Klemmer.
If you read his quotes he said he didn’t want to go.
Absolutely! How quickly people forget. Hastings was instrumental in our two biggest wins against Parra and Souths.Pretty safe to say Hastings didn’t play when we copped our biggest floggings… meaning we had plenty of points scored against us and didn’t manage to score many when he wasn’t in the team.
Maybe that’s a more telling point.
Besides that we had an season riddled with long term injuries and a coaching drama contributing to those figures…. and you want to blame one of the only blokes who put his heart into every game?
I know the NRL has a history of failed English backs, our own Gildart being the latest, but this Welsby guy looks different. When you watch the highlights video, you see outstanding talent and with his combination of speed, toughness and passing ability, you have to think he'd really transition well. This is definitely a guy we should go hard for but how realistic a chance are we to sign him? I've heard there would be an enormous transfer fee and that St.Helens are not keen to release him.Where is this Welsby rumour coming from? Looks a proper player!! Would it be for 23 or 24
Is there any other NRL player that does as much of these “honest“ or “open-up, heart on sleeve” style interviews as Hastings? He seems to pump out one per week.Jackson Hastings: Why I jumped at the chance to join the Newcastle Knights

JACKSON Hastings says he still loves Wests Tigers "with all my heart", but in the end he couldn't get up the freeway to Newcastle quickly enough.

Makes you think had Hastings been offered the halfback position and an extended contract then would the scenario be reversed and it would be Brooks heading to NewcastleAbsolutely! How quickly people forget. Hastings was instrumental in our two biggest wins against Parra and Souths.
He said whatever was needed to get back to the nrl like “it’s Luke’s team and I’m not coming to take the 7” blah blah. Got here and through injuries and losses got the 7 and we jagged a win. After that he’s probably had his doubts about the 13. Madge gets sacked, Sheenius appoints himself, (now he knows it’s 13), gets offered the main man 7 in a team on the ocean, and says whatever it takes to get there, but after previous experience he doesn’t completely burn down the bridge upon leaving. I’d say good luck to him but we all know I wouldn’t mean it. Go Tigers.Is there any other NRL player that does as much of these “honest“ or “open-up, heart on sleeve” style interviews as Hastings?

Of course. All this was in our control. Sheens and Benji made their choice.Makes you think had Hastings been offered the halfback position and an extended contract then would the scenario be reversed and it would be Brooks heading to Newcastle
why would you do that?My apologies - I assumed you guys could count
Yeah right. The club threatening legal action if we don’t get more penalties going our way is gonna improve morale. 😂Can we also assume that you would have no idea how much money the club actually spent ‘behind closed doors’?
In any case, profit margins and spreadsheets don’t build club culture, attitude does.
I’d say the club showing they’re willingness to stand up for themselves when they’re right, particularly against the odds, shows character and tenacity. I’d also imagine the players would appreciate the front office getting their hands dirty, even if only as a show of solidarity.
I know when management backs my crew in on-site issues, it absolutely builds positive company culture.
‘Exceptionally poor management’ you say?
What’s your acceptable formula for $ investment vs improving club culture?
Its obvious Hastings hasn't.They all certainly have - fans may take a little longer it seems if the forum is anything to go by.
Every week we play against ex Tigers players with a point to prove. This ones another playmaker with leadership qualities.Its obvious Hastings hasn't.
Because the Tigers have a track record of keeping the wrong players.Your mates brother ain't that clever if he thinks that the Tigers were pressured into that.
He didnt wonder why they didn't fold on Brooks, but rolled on Hastings?
