There's 3 things in life that are certain: Taxes, death and Batboy being a condescending prick.

Nice to see after my multiple months hiatus you haven't lost your touch lol.

Happy to have made your return as worthwhile as it possibly could be.
Flattered out of all the posts since you've been gone - That one caught your eye.

Wonder if that now that we've strengthened the forward pack, if Joey might be willing risk his reputation as a halves whisperer and come on board for some training at our club? I can see why he would not have been too keen before - halves without time and space are on a hiding to nothing. He worked with Moses at Parra for a while and that seemed to go well.

Joey is still employed by Newie as their halves whisperer. He spoke as recently as yesterday about how he has been working with Ponga helping him transition to 5/8 and how he looks forward to working with Jackson.

“As a club we are obviously not satisfied that we finished last in 2022 and tough decisions need to be made," said Tigers boss Justin Pascoe.

Not everyone will be happy with some decisions we make, but we do not apologise for these decisions.”

That sounds pretty close to linking the spoon with Hastings’ performances this season, which I don’t know if it’s deliberate or not but I would sure be stung by it.

That's funny because Jacko being likeable or not, his Efforts contributed massively to the FEW games Tigers did win.

That's stretching a long bow imo... Another case of 2+2=7
 
I agree with the readers poll result, which shows the majority of readers believe that , if this was a swap deal, then Knights got the better end of the deal.
While I’ve often wondered why the term “leadership” is given lip service at WT, and we often move on players who show signs of leadership, some how this appears different.
Knights need a Hastings, we need a mongrel pack. Signing Klemmer doesn’t quite get us there, but it’s a start.
The last time Brooks worked behind anything which resembled a decent pack, he was awarded DallyM half.

Hey bra how's things? Nice to see you still kicking around here. Felt it was time to make a comeback and see what's been happening. Had a bit of time away as for me the forum was taking a turn for the worst.

Cheers mate, keeping well and also plodding. Yeah exciting times ahead, some Pommy John news today would be a nice way to march into the weekend with.

I think that’s a matter of interpretation. I see your point but don’t necessarily agree they’re linked.
Another view is the type of footy we want to play doesn’t fit with certain players styles.
I’m not sure that anyone would view JHs input as leading us to the spoon. There were so many other factors at play.

I agree. The only thing they've said is Tigers came last and tough changes are necessary to address that.

It doesn't say anything specifically about Hastings, and again I think it goes back to this tiktok/instagram culture of instantly assuming everything is about you (or them) and being upset by insinuation.
