Maybe he should keep paying the rent in England .....

Mate - I'm hopeful he is going to be good for us. I get the impression he is going to have a dig.

Brooks has a dig ....no one could argue that ...but everyone is sick of him

Brooks did not have a dig vs Bulldogs

He was tackling till the end of the game unlike others.Yes he was not playing particulary well but he was certainly trying

I really hope someone can post it.........it has been literally ***HOURS*** since Ive read that Hasting has turmed everything around and is a good boy now. I need reassurance.

I haven’t been fussed about his off field issues before going to the UK. Doesn’t matter if he now delivers meals to the elderly, it has no bearing on him as a player.

NRL 2021: Wests Tigers signing Jackson Hastings opens up about his return to Australia
Jackson Hastings arrived in the UK “as the kid with all the issues”. He says he is returning to Australia having redeemed himself through not only his football but his public image.
Hastings is making a comeback to the NRL after a highly successful 3 ½ year stint in the Super League. He not only had on-field success but Hastings rebuilt his life away from home.
He comes back to the NRL as a 25-year-old international. The Wests Tigers recruit knows he has taken the long-road back to Australia but it was a path he needed to take.

“It took a lot of me going out of my way to show the real me and getting out of my comfort zone,” Hastings told the Sunday Telegraph from England.
“I had to work so hard on the field but also off the field and away from the game on who I wanted to be and who I wanted to become. I came over as the kid with all the issues but I’m coming back as fan favourite. That’s something I had close to my heart. The fans loved and appreciated me and hopefully I can have the same impact at the Tigers.”
Hastings was an instant success in England. He helped Salford go from narrowly avoiding relegation to grand finalists in the space of 12 months and picked up a Man of Steel award on the way

In his first year at Wigan last season they lost in the most epic of deciders and this year he picked up the club’s player of the year award. He represented Great Britain under Wayne Bennett and captained the Combined All-Stars team earlier this year. New Tigers head of football Tim Sheens coached the All-Stars team.
Hastings said he had grown up a lot since his unhappy exit from the Sea Eagles.
“I was put into the spotlight as a kid and I didn’t handle it well,” Hastings said.
“I had issues. I moved clubs and I put myself in uncompromising positions. I only have myself to blame. I don’t point the figure at anyone for my demise. I may not have agreed with all the decisions but I was young and silly and I paid the price.
“It became looking at myself in the mirror and seeing how I could improve. There were days I questioned if I was good enough, but I never questioned how hard I would work and how much time and effort I put into each game. As soon as I jumped off that plane I made a promise to make every post a winner.
“To be given the captaincy by Tim this year showed how far I’ve come.”
Hastings is unclear on just when he will arrive in Australia. Travel restrictions have meant he is on a waiting list which means he could leave “tomorrow or next week”. He said coach Michael Maguire was a “driving force” in getting him to the Tigers.
“I met him a couple of times and his drive, passion and enthusiasm is what I’m fond of,” Hastings said.
“Like Madge (Maguire) I want to be part of turning the tide with the club. I’m passionate about doing that. I’m going to work hard and have enthusiasm.
“I don’t expect to play in any one position. I’m just grateful to be back in the NRL. I see myself as a halfback but I will play anywhere that will benefit the team and its success.”

Thanks

I think he'll be great - although some of those quotes are a bit next level- I guess self confidence is needed to make it in professional sport

Who did bar a few forum members ??

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.

He's 25 though. Don't get me wrong I don't understand the constant twitter nonsense either, but he's way younger than me and I can't pretend to understand how younger ppl both connect with social media and "develop their brand".

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

He is going to need thick skin - the jabs already coming before a ball is passed.

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

I've no issue with Jackson kissing babies or helping old ladies across the street as long as it is done in a Covid safe way.
