Hastings signed for 22/23 *Official.

[earl]

We need Hastings to be a top 5 player in this comp. No pressure though.

 

[Tiger5150]


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

Means nothing until he plays well on the field.....or a podcast apparently.

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

There are going to be so many fluff articles about Hastings this year.

 

[Newtown]

There are going to be so many fluff articles about Hastings this year.

As long as he produces on the field.

Possibly a few more podcast appearances too

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.

Love it!

How is he entitled? He has literally been saying he was a bit of a knob when he was younger, that his time in England opened his eyes, and that he's lucky to have the opportunity to be back in the NRL, to me that is the opposite of entitled. Especially compared to some of our players who just collect their pay and don't put in. Compare it to the lack of self-awareness from someone like BJ, munching on burgers while declaring 'I'm the best centre in the game.'

The kid thing is just a figure of speech, early 20s is probably the most life-changing period for most young men, it is the decisions in that period that largely determine how your life unfolds.

Thanks Walter.

 

[Demps]

Expectations are high for Hastings.
Hope he can deliver.

Good luck.
💯

 

[pawsandclaws1]

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

Or take it on the chin.

Are expectations high ? I'm hopeful we get a top 5 half in the comp but I think my expectations are way above most other people.

I'm also only hopeful of that because it's what we need. It's more a dream than an expectation.

Wouldn't that be a refreshing change.

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

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....

I read it as he recognizes how immature he was at 22 and has worked on himself to be better. I’ve got mates who are still growing up in their 30s.

Remember the endless Tamou ones from last year? Brutal.

Yeh maybe true,
I’m not on here everyday so don’t notice it as much.
Always having to bypass pages to catch up.
