Jackson Hastings #251

[jirskyr]

I think one of the most disappointing and frustrating things as a supporter is a complete lack of clarity or transparency in decision making. All we receive are hollow blanket statements….

I thought they were pretty transparent? They want to shake up the roster because of the wooden spoon, and they want a strong forward pack, so trading Hastings was the way to do it.

Also it leaked to the media a large pay upgrade for Jacko.

I really don't know what else you expect, for Tigers to open up their books? Post pay packets online?

 

[jirskyr]

Just on the off chance you read these forum posts Jacko, thanks for your little cameo with us.
You tried to put us into a winning mindset but it was like flogging a dead horse.
All the best with your future footy mate. 👍

Hey Jacko, if you do read the forum, I am sure you are a decent bloke, but personally I'm not fussed that you are gone.

It's a balanced forum this one.

‘Tough decisions need to be made’: Why Brooks’ salary sent Hastings to the Knights

After just one year at the Tigers, Jackson Hastings is on the move and could team up with Kalyn Ponga in the halves at Newcastle, while David Klemmer is headed the other way.

This article states this decision is all about Brooks salary which is too high especially for next season.

It also states Hastings might not have even been offered a contract post next season because they don't like him.

Imho the worst announcement probably is still to come,the signature of Bateman which will cost the club about 1 mill even if it is a little less on the cap.Klemmer i can live with

I'm worried about this one but he might perform. We have to wait and see.

Who knows what the price is? I don't worry myself with salary cap speculation.

Someone will be vindicated after several months of 2023.

Is there any reason people don't copy and paste articles from behind paywalls after they read them?
I've always wondered - Posting a link to a newspaper is fruitless 95% of the time....
Would seem almost as easy to me to copy and paste the article, Than just the link that most people probably won't be able to access?

Paying a 250k transfer fee....
And paying a back rower 750k?

750 is fine

Bring on the click-bait. If we were so dissatisfied that we released Hastings, then we have no choice but to euthanise Brooks

Thats an incompetant headline. Only a couple of guys had a go this year...this fella was one of them.

That is massive overs. Wasnt worth that in his prime.

No he wasn't but about 250k is apparently what we have to fork out in transfer fee (they originaly wanted 350k).His UK form is just not worth that sort of money imo

Bateman is a risk but is a winner who can teach winning on and off the field.

We forgot how.

Certainly not.

I know a $250k transfer fee has been mentioned but where has it been reported we’re offering Bateman $750k per season for you to post your figures above??
