You should have stopped at blah blah blah
Jackson Hastings #251
- Thread starter GNR4LIFE
- Start date
I never said he was captain material...he showed leadership in the 1 season with us,something Brooks hasnt shown in 10 years..who cares how many clubs he has played for,he got man of steel award in ESL and helped teams play in finals,something else Brooks hasnt done.Football is a short career make the best of it while you can...on another note.LOYALTY gets you no where in a cutthroat competition,Luke has been blessed over many years..Teddy got out,Moses got out and showing no loyalty got them better careers...

Maybe Brooksy’s final chapters here will be different mate. I hope for his sake and ours he leaves the club having taken the once basket case club back to some meaningful games.

I dont really like this swap.
Yes, Klem is as hood a prop as Hastings is a half, an through that prism its ok.
But, you dont trade out good, organisational halves.
You stand in front of them, you stroke their hair, you kiss them, and look into their eyes and whisper in their ear 'everything will be alright uleh'.
You dont trade them out. They are rare.
And if we are in the business of swapping out halves, wtf happened to the Brooks idea? Why is he being kept? That was the original plan.
If it is because of Bateman, sure, but if not then we ###### up. Its not that hard to find a running half or whatever Adam Leb is (He feels to me like a 2nd rower in the halves) but the Chad Townsend/Cleary organisers are few and far between and Hastings was on that level and he won us matches this year.

The priority for our rebuild had to start with forwards and if it's a straight Klem/Jacko trade and we keep brooks and AD then I'm happy with it but what exactly is the $ turnaround? It's a bit vague at this stage isn't it?
I sort of agree with LCA.

Shaun Lane, he's developing into good player. I suggested we go after him ages ago but it wasn't received well. He would be on a better deal now I would imagine.
2 champions that know how to set the pace

Doueihi has intentionally or unintentionally put himself in the transit lounge. Sheens would well know whether he is a 5/8 (or not). It is interesting the two players the posse all promoted as leaders baled or are in the process of doing so. The real leader(s) will emerge shortly.

The real leaders may emerge shortly......Brooks wont be one of them although Sheens has a fixation for him,Api,Paps and Klemmer will be the main hopes...

TT, young Pole reeks of leadership qualities. Remember in the game against the Eels when he lead the resurgence? Ofahengaue always gets the job done with the minimum of fuss.
Absolutely correct Paws,Pole may just get better with better players around him next year,Offa has always been an honest worker...Our success will come from a strong pack next year and getting the younger talent some NRL time....
Same with management, most of the squad and myself as a fanatical supporter.
If true Newcastle got better for cheaper.

Excellent x factor player. It would be outstanding to have him at WTs.

The more I look at the JH to Knights decision, the more I see MM on the horizon.
Maybe Sheens and Co believe he could be the key to Brooks re-emerging.

I think sheens doesn’t see either of them as part of his long term vision. They weren’t his signings. They wouldn’t have been easily influenced. Good players or not, if they leave so be it. He even potentially used a Hastings trade to his advantage. Both players being played outside of their preferred positions too…
Is Hastings officially gone?
