Jackson Hastings #251

It was a horrible season. Imagine on top of that being the first team in 60 odd years to go the season winless.
I just don’t believe in praising a player in our most dog shit season yet .. unless it’s a rookie like Pole

Let’s be honest he was a good talker on the field but not much else … halfway through the season most of the fan base wanted him punted 🥾
 
Don’t think media team is informed of signing news until it is confirmed
Usually with club media teams, they’re advised of things that are close to happening before it’s confirmed, but aren’t told until it’s official.

But it’s also different for every club in terms of how transparent the football staff are with the media team.

That’s also the reason why some clubs get so much more access to team content/dressing room vision than others.
Some coaches don’t like that stuff being made public because they think team discussions etc. should stay private, whereas some aren’t fussed.
 
What do you think about it
I thought Hastings was an astute recruitment. He’s a half back so it was a decision about the style of half Benji wants. Have to look at recruitment and retention as a whole. I also suspect Brooks will be extended and his halves partner is not on the roster. I can’t see Benji wanting Douihei in the halves either. I like him as a centre that’s he’s position since the injuries.

So far deals done and or to be finalised:

Klemmer> Musgrove
Papalli > Luciano
Bateman> Garner
Api > Liddle
 
Klemmer> Musgrove
Papalli > Luciano
Bateman> Garner
Api > Liddle

This is a good way to look at it. I'm concerned about Bateman but we are desperate for an edge backrower.

Some big upgrades in Klemmer and especially Api. Papalli is a gun player as well. Luc was real good as well but Papalli is better.

Next year will be interesting.
