Tbf, I haven’t seen him talk up his ability, just at how good of a guy he seems to be. Which is great, you always want to consider yourself a good person, and he could potentially be a very good representative for the club. However, that’s for others to judge you on, not for you to go around proclaiming it. And I know a lot on here will say he is a good guy and want to give him marks, but we’re still firmly in the honeymoon period. If he comes out onto the field and doesn’t live up to expectations, doesn’t lead us etc, people will forget real fast what a good guy he is.

It’s all good for the Tele man, but the only guys I’ve very heard drumming into all and sundry how much of a good person they are, and how they’ve turned their life around - are guys that aren’t entirely being truthful.
It’s almost like when an addict tells you they’re clean…
Speaking on such - all the media “turned his life around” stories, you’d think he was a heroin addict or something… I don’t remember his life being that out of control - he was just a loud mouth clown with tickets on himself,..

He'll be fine, his not just talk, got ta remember his been living what he has been saying in England.

He didn't cease to exist when he left the nrl.

NRL is a different ball game. The Storm and Roosters are a step up in class to Castleford and Huddersfield. Its Queensland Cup. Maybe half a step above.

It's fine man, What are you worried about....
If it doesn't work our for him, And he doesn't fire
He can just blame Brooks.....

Like the rest of the world...

In your opinion who is to blame for the last 10 years?

I blame Sheens..

Haven't said that one for a while probably since 2012..

Of course it’s the halfbacks. Remember how we were playing finals every year before he debuted? Yeah, me either. Some want to pass it off like we were some massively successful side, playing finals, winning big games, and he came along and put the brakes on. We sucked before he debuted, and we have sucked while he’s been our number 7. He might be a symptom, but he’s not the cause.

He has had the longest chance in the 20 years we have been here.
Not entirely his fault but he has had enough time. Needs to be punted

I just watched the 9 interview. I hope he succeeds but please keep your mouth closed and let your play do the talking for you.

Jackson talks a lot and is pretty social media engaged; I think we have to get used to it.

Won’t be long till he’s being told to shut it. if he’s not performing. I can see him being the new Benji. The mouthpiece for our failure. Mr “our year starts now” after round 16.

Yep, Like the rest of the teams in the top 8 will stop winning for long enough for us to win the 7/8 of the last games we need to win to scrape into 8th spot....
Then going out and missing 2 penalty touch finders in the same game...

They wonder why we're a negative bunch...

If it doesn't make you wonder why....
It probably should.
 
Old suggestion, why don't you delete most of the long quoted msg and continue the conversation so others don't have to scroll through pages of banter just to read a small portion of new relevant comments

The video was on 9 news, hopefully it surfaces soon, keen to hear it again. Thought the tweet was worth sharing. What a guy !!

Careful mate. People around here don't like positive Hastings stories. Dare we have some positivity hey.

But but but

English Super League = joke league
Man of steel = joke award for plodders
He had drama years ago with a known problem player so therefore he'll cause drama here
No NRL club wanted him for a reason!!!

Am I missing anything?

No you covered it all.

Can't wait till on the field play replaces this rubbish

and God forbid if he does not play to expectations?

I don't disagree but he debuted around 2013/14 and 2010-12 were actually one of our most successful years.

His first full season was 2014. We missed the finals in 12 and 13.

2012 We started season favourites, bought Adam Blair and came like 13th....

Like the rest of the world...

In your opinion who is to blame for the last 10 years?

The organisation as a whole....

We fell apart when we didn't win the comp 2010-12
Then we ridiculously overpaid to keep a crop of Juniors coming through and expected them to take us to glory on their own.. Sironen, Simona, Woods to an extent....
Brooks and Moses were getting 450k when they'd played 1 game between the 2 of em, 600k in their 2nd year... Which is nuts for kids, Especially in back 2013-2014!!

This was on the back of Poor signings like Blair, Lawrence's overpriced contract not working out (600k a year for 5 years, Or whatever it was at the time) Even Farah, at 950k in 2013 is 50/50 on value for money a that time....
We were paying Heighington, Ayshford, Fifita, Gibbs and however many else to play against us.
Trying to fix poor decisions with knee jerk reactions / more poor decisions.

After all that - it's been a constant of band-aid after band-aid... McQueen, Packer, Matulino, Mbye, Reynolds...

We've never financially recovered since 2011-2012. Coupling that with a couple coaching experiments, poor business decisions from Humpty, Mayer etc, a couple disgruntled players legging it on us...

I love the people bagging on Pascoe, And their short memories....
Mayer, Humpty even Noyce before him - I know who's doing a better job.
Those blaming Pascoe for Ivans signings, fair play - he backed his coach 100%
and got railed from behind.. But he learned that lesson, And since has barley done anything untoward... So know they bag his dress sense and haircut.

He's doing his job, as is Madge, As is Brooks....
Just needs to come together - And I for one have been more confident that it will than I ever have been to be fair that is probably will.
2005 was a bit of a fluke if we're honest,
Up to here for the last 10 years, Has been hard work - and making every mistake possible.
A bit of luck, and another good signing or 2... And the WT's is a whole different vibe.

He has had a few screwups old pascoe.
Ivan, Robbie's job after footy.
At the end of the day he is responsible.
Buck stops with him and the board

Yep...
He's the only CEO that offered a marque player post football in the history of the game...
Out of all of em, He's the only one.

He's the one that did it for the WT's, And because it's the WT's - The NRL found a problem with it....

The only one stupid enough to broadcast it to the media.

In your opinion who is to blame for the last 10 years?

The organisation as a whole....

We fell apart when we didn't win the comp 2010-12
Then we ridiculously overpaid to keep a crop of Juniors coming through and expected them to take us to glory on their own.. Sironen, Simona, Woods to an extent....
Brooks and Moses were getting 450k when they'd played 1 game between the 2 of em, 600k in their 2nd year... Which is nuts for kids, Especially in back 2013-2014!!

This was on the back of Poor signings like Blair, Lawrence's overpriced contract not working out (600k a year for 5 years, Or whatever it was at the time) Even Farah, at 950k in 2013 is 50/50 on value for money a that time....
We were paying Heighington, Ayshford, Fifita, Gibbs and however many else to play against us.
Trying to fix poor decisions with knee jerk reactions / more poor decisions.

After all that - it's been a constant of band-aid after band-aid... McQueen, Packer, Matulino, Mbye, Reynolds...

We've never financially recovered since 2011-2012. Coupling that with a couple coaching experiments, poor business decisions from Humpty, Mayer etc, a couple disgruntled players legging it on us...

I love the people bagging on Pascoe, And their short memories....
Mayer, Humpty even Noyce before him - I know who's doing a better job.
Those blaming Pascoe for Ivans signings, fair play - he backed his coach 100%
and got railed from behind.. But he learned that lesson, And since has barley done anything untoward... So know they bag his dress sense and haircut.

He's doing his job, as is Madge, As is Brooks....
Just needs to come together - And I for one have been more confident that it will than I ever have been to be fair that is probably will.
2005 was a bit of a fluke if we're honest,
Up to here for the last 10 years, Has been hard work - and making every mistake possible.
A bit of luck, and another good signing or 2... And the WT's is a whole different vibe.

He has had a few screwups old pascoe.
Ivan, Robbie's job after footy.
At the end of the day he is responsible.
Buck stops with him and the board

Yep...
He's the only CEO that offered a marque player post football in the history of the game...
Out of all of em, He's the only one.

He's the one that did it for the WT's, And because it's the WT's - The NRL found a problem with it....

The only one stupid enough to broadcast it to the media.

Wasn’t the whole point that he was supposedly secretive? Grade-A BS.
 
Whinging about Hastings while defending Brooks. Fmd. Some of you guys are so used to mediocrity you enjoy it🙄

Tbf, I haven’t seen him talk up his ability, just at how good of a guy he seems to be. Which is great, you always want to consider yourself a good person, and he could potentially be a very good representative for the club. However, that’s for others to judge you on, not for you to go around proclaiming it. And I know a lot on here will say he is a good guy and want to give him marks, but we’re still firmly in the honeymoon period. If he comes out onto the field and doesn’t live up to expectations, doesn’t lead us etc, people will forget real fast what a good guy he is.

It’s all good for the Tele man, but the only guys I’ve very heard drumming into all and sundry how much of a good person they are, and how they’ve turned their life around - are guys that aren’t entirely being truthful.
It’s almost like when an addict tells you they’re clean…
Speaking on such - all the media “turned his life around” stories, you’d think he was a heroin addict or something… I don’t remember his life being that out of control - he was just a loud mouth clown with tickets on himself,..

He'll be fine, his not just talk, got ta remember his been living what he has been saying in England.

He didn't cease to exist when he left the nrl.

NRL is a different ball game. The Storm and Roosters are a step up in class to Castleford and Huddersfield. Its Queensland Cup. Maybe half a step above.

It's fine man, What are you worried about....
If it doesn't work our for him, And he doesn't fire
He can just blame Brooks.....

The cynic in me believes that if he had greased a few palms at the NRL it would have been fine.
