Jackson Hastings #251

Inoperable… had gone from my throat to the lymph glands in my neck and wrapped around my carotid artery.
Had major chemo which nearly killed me and then had to rely on massive radiation .
Still kicking after having a feeding tube in my stomach for a year and a shitload of after effects still annoying me. 👍
Terrible to read mate... Life can deal.us some shitty hands sometimes but we just have to deal with it as best we can and try stay as happy and positive as possible especially for our loved ones
Glad to hear your enjoying life as best you can... Stay strong 💪
 
Might be easier for him tight in the ruck..less one on one defensive decisions.. very handy ball playing option though

He needs to get his defense right. He is an issue for us until he learns to tackle. The thing is he can hit though so he could turn it around.

Plus his running game up the middle could be really good. He'd make some busts.

If it's the attacking style that Sheen's wants to go for ... Potentially API would have plenty of choice's one and two passes from the ruck.. AD , Hastings, Brooks, Laurie (whoever survives) hitting papi and maybe Staines.. there's attacking potential
 
Man we could put some points on back in the day....
My favourite part of the 05 GF moment was Pat Richard's fend on Jensen and Jensen ate about 3 feet of grass....

The prior Dragons game is my all time favourite WT match.

Progressively lost some of my love for the game from the following season, when Bellamy was allowed to bring in the wrestle and dangerous contact.

The new rules arrested the decline.
 
Wetsts Tigers star Jackson Hastings and his manager Liam Ayoub have been spotted in Newcastle.
They were not there for a holiday or to check out local real estate, either.

In fact one very good source has told your columnist the pair caught up last week with a man who was the spitting image of Knights general manager of football Peter Parr.

It’s common knowledge the Knights are in the market for a halfback.

Jake Clifford has gone to the UK Super League and Adam Clune struggles compared with the good halves. It’s why they’ve been desperately keen to get Luke Brooks out of the Wests Tigers.

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens insists Brooks will not be released.

Hastings, however, is a different story.

Sheens is not a fan. He even asked caretaker coach Brett Kimmorley to move Hastings to lock forward last season.

It was a ridiculous positional switch.


Hastings is a halfback and a much better player than Sheens gives him credit for.

He was probably the Wests Tigers’ best player over the entire season.

Yet Sheens has made it blatantly clear he has no future at the club by throwing around multimillion-dollar offers for the likes of Cameron Munster and Mitchell Moses.

Knights assistant coach Andrew Johns is a big fan.

“I think he goes really well,” Johns said, “he went to England to learn his trade and he’s come back a tremendous player.

“Some of his games this year were absolutely sensational.

“I did some work with him years ago at the Roosters.

“I found him to be a really respectable young fella.

“It’s hard for a young halfback at a club with big personalities. It can be intimidating.”

A St George-Illawarra junior, Hastings has played for the Sydney Roosters, Manly, Salford and then Wigan in the UK Super League, the Wests Tigers and now possibly the Knights.

The Knights would become six clubs since he started in 2014 yet he’s still only 26.

He is under contract at the Wests Tigers until the end of next season.
