Hastings signed for 22/23 *Official.

[Pascoes_barber]

Yeah I *hate* it when I'm forced to read someone's Tweets (or anything else) on the internet.

I have to admit I am totally over all the emotional Hastings messages. Sick of hearing how he has "grownup" turned his life around" etc etc etc.

Proven nothing in the NRL. Get here, shut up, work hard, prove me and others wrong and we will love you too.

Well written. A 22 year old is a kid? Mmmm.

These people and the media are calling em kids when they're 30....

Needs to be a cut off point, lol.

Young men were being conscripted into the army age 20 to be killed and maimed in Vietnam. This entitled gentleman believes he is a kid at age 22.

Reading between the lines he's saying he's grown up a lot since going to england

Exactly, poor bastard is just trying to say he’s grown up a lot over the 3 1/2 yrs. Everyone in here has to read too much into it


Tbf, having all his tweets shoved down your throat, and everyone else going on about what a great guy he is, is wearing thin. It’s starting to get to Cleary “on the bus” level cringe. Guarantee if he turns out to be hot air on the field, no one will care anymore about what a great guy he is on Twitter and how grown up he is

Just stop following him if you don't like it


I don’t follow any players. That’s just sad. I do however get drowned in player tweets whenever I frequent this place

Scroll on..simples

I look forward to this forum "scrolling on" in March when the annual Brooks fluff pieces get rolled out.

 

[Telltails]

Fluff pieces are not unique to us. Our supporters are just overly cynical - been burnt too many times. Based on Cheekham's write up - South's supporters must be wondering why we let him go.

"The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the signing of international forward Michael Chee Kam for season 2022.
Chee Kam, 29, is an experienced second rower with utility value that has played 94 NRL games during his career so far with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and Wests Tigers, as well as three Tests for Samoa since making his NRL debut in 2014. Chee Kam is a former Australian Schoolboys representative and was selected in the NRL’s NYC under 20s team of the year in 2012 with the Canberra Raiders.
Rabbitohs Head of Football, Mark Ellison, says Chee Kam is a welcome addition to the Rabbitohs forward stocks in 2022.
“Michael is a proven performer at the NRL level over a long period of time so we are looking forward to him joining our squad,” Mr Ellison said.

“He understands what it takes to perform at the NRL level week-in and week-out and he will be a good mentor for a lot of the young forwards we have in our squad. He also brings utility value to our team as he can play second row and centre as well as being able to do a job in a few other positions as well.
“He is very strong ball runner, can find a hole in a defensive line, and is a robust defender.

“We’re all looking forward to working with him for the upcoming season.”

" ..............Our supporters are just overly cynical - been burnt too many times."

How true is this statement.
How sad is this statement.
Bring on a time of reason, player never-will-die attitude, team give everything for the jersey type passion.
Not really asking much, eh??

Thanks Walter.

Those young men heading off to war were kids too.
Can't see how anyone would treat his words as though he meant disrespect to our soldiers.
Seriously?
It's just a word ... Hastings most likely meaning he was acting like a kid.

I did not watch my buddies die face down in the muck so that this strumpet waltz straight into a starting position at the Wests Tigers based on a glowing podcast....

This is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.

The outrage over him saying he was a "kid" at 22 is hilarious.

Rabbits are still burned by that Chee Kam match-winner a few years back at Bankwest.

Seriously?
You're taking this a way, way too far.
Did you think the same about Laurie when he bumped Mbye and waltzed into the team?
Nobody said he's going to waltz into the team anyway ... but they haven't bought him with the idea of playing reserve grade.
It will depend how he goes at training... if he's the best choice then so be it.
How you can take a remark about being a kid as being disrespectful to any Diggers is beyond me.

[JD Tiger]

I'm 40 something, and consider myself at 22 years of age as still a kid, or still reasonably immature at that age at least.

Must be a slow news day.
