King Doeihie fans , i think will be dissapointed.

Brooks -- 7
Hastings -- 6
Laurie-- 1-- short term.
AD - centre -- short term --14 when mbye goes.

Doueihi won't be going to 14, he will be starting somewhere. He's one of our best players. Don't see Laurie getting moved either

Surely when the next Reece Walsh style talent comes along they will end up at the tigers. The rest of the comp pretty much all have superstar fullbacks. Gus always said Laurie is a 6

I think Laurie is a very good fullback, he's prettt safe under the high ball, has a good running game and his attack is getting better and better. Don't see any reason to move him, he's a good young talent and still has so much development to come

So long as our pack continues to improve, he will improve.
Many seem to think the new generation of superstars should be dominating from the get go, but they need at least a full season behind them. Ponga is a good example, looked ok but not spectacular for the Cowboys. Killed it for Knights the following year

I think there's been clear improvements in his game already this year - his defence has improved he's saving more tries and his playmaking is on the up as well. He's so young all he needs is time

Agreed. I think Doueihi is better than every other option listed there.

Hastings very impressive at 5/8 - very vocal and barking orders, kicked well and solid in defence

Solid in defence ? Do you think so ?

The England second rower Farrell ran past him to score his first try (Hastings looked like he was jogging next to him) then Farrell isolated Hasting on the try line for his second try; Hastings took him low on the line and Farrell planted the ball for an easy try.

Hastings looks slow (outrun by a back rower) and didn't go high on the back rower on the line.

Farrell probably would have scored both tries anyway, but I don't think Hastings distinguished himself attempting to stop them.

I was thinking his defence is not up to it

Im thinking Hastings will make us reminisce about the Mbye and Reynolds days

Did you see his defense in that game. I'm not writing him off until he gets here though.

I will be very happy to be proven wrong and invite everyone to remind me if I am.

After watching the England v All Stars match I was particularly impressed with Hastings' non stop talk whether in attack or D. The commentators even picked up on it and mentioned how strong his presence was. He seemed to be the one guiding the team as opposed the Sezer. Strong kicking game too. Noticed him often rotating plays with Peats as well, playing the Dummy Half role and getting the team on the front foot with fast distribution.

 

[Milky]

Eyeballing the highlights and his interview my impression is he is almost the opposite of Brooks. He is not quick and his defence is weakish but he has a very good kicking game, is loud on the field and obviously a leader. He is not Nathan Cleary. Will be fascinating to see whether his mix of skills better fits the squad than brooks obvious talent but lack of the intangibles. It’s clear Hastings will be competing for the 7.

He’s better then AD brooks and mbye he’ll likely play 6 tho

I like the look of

7 Hastings
6 Douihei

?

I’d like to see
7 Hastings
6 Laurie
1 the next superstar fullback

I think Laurie should be given another full season or two at fullback. Even Tedesco took years to hit his straps…

Wigan got flogged by Warrington overnight but Hastings (playing fullback) set up two of Wigan's tries, one being for Oliver Gildart. Full replay of the game should be on Kayo

We are looking at a Brooks Hastings partnership.

As long as brooksy can handle someone wanting to actually lead the team around it should work alright

Shut up man . Seriously . It’s getting old . Brooks has been the best player on the field the last 5 weeks . It’s not his fault , when AD is out , the right side turns into a big massive turd , that lets in 50 points a game .

I remember once we played a team , they made a line break down the other side of the field from the 30m , I chased them hard to tackle their strike centre on the goal line , holding him up , with help from our half . I was busted after , as I was a big boy at the time .
You know how my backs respected that play ? The following scrum ,which I packed down in , They let thier small winger from the other side of the field stroll in , in the corner . I looked up to see all my effort , was just a waste of time .Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do .

Telling people to shut up and then recounting a story from your childhood won’t make you any friends or prove your point.
Accept the fact that everybody else doesn’t idolise Brooks like you do.

They are 5th on the ladder - for them that is a failure. Wigan expects success every year, they have a winning culture.

Unfortunately Hastings defensive reads & out of position play was one of them, although I understand he is not a fullback, he is not a player that can lead a team around but he has a good football head when it comes to playing in front of him, gildhart appeared solid without being spectacular, very old school,plays up & down the tracks, one positive is in defence he stays square so it will stop our wingers racing in defence

Can’t believe people are still analysing a players form in ESL. Do you guys actually grasp the drop in skill level over there? I’m not sure you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be putting so much stock into it
