Jackson Hastings #251

Lock has been his obvious position watching him over the first 2 rounds. It allows Madden to stay in the halves, so that should make his supporters happy. It allows Twal to move back to prop too. His experiment as a lock has been a total failure.

Only looked good for 1 half out of 4 with him there

True but that is the only decent had we have played all season

When has Twal played lock this year?

Oh that’s Offa. Shows the amount of attention i’ve been paying. In that case I’d move Offa to prop and Musgrove, who cares.

 

[hank37w]

Sounds about right...
🤦‍♂️

The only thing that could really make this worse is news breaks we are extending Brooks until 2026 or something. 🚮

Jeez I thought we had already done that a while ago.

 

[426Tlgerland]

give him 10 games with out a break and see how he is going , bloke is hard , he be ok and leading us forward

Large 7 but think his there for his voice and smarts too. Definitely given some interest to watch again.

Joey was a pretty big frame who could hit, not that quick.

Wasn't Joey more Brooks frame?

 

[BAGNF05]

Wasn't Joey more Brooks frame?

Heavier and bigger arse I think. But yeah. Probably similar in height.

Cleary is not exactly lightning fast and nearly 100kg. Speed is overrated when it comes to halves.

If we’re talking fullback and outside backs, yes we absolutely need speed.

Crisp passing, vision and kicking game much more useful

I want Jacko to beat up all the other Half’s , in their face dominate , and be the guy they hate , then we got the goods to go forward , a competitor , a hard nut , no backward steps , the guy who pushes back at the props , gives them some crap , a bit of lip , a push-in the face

Will be interesting to see him closer to the ruck. When I was watching him at Wigan he was playing full back and 6 very wide off the ruck.

Think Brooks will be the main long kicker.

our Halfback is going to scare props now🧐

 

[Viking Warrior]

Well he is passionate about the place that's a good start, let's hope he goes well at 7

I hope he gets in Moses face this weekend and forces a few errors.

Hastings could very well be the best running half in the NRL, but we will never know if our spine isn’t settled, including the lock, with players who can concern the opposition.

I'm hoping he somehow puts some life back into Brooks.
The pressure is off him to control the game...start running!

Yes would be great to see. Maybe this has been an option discussed and already transitioning over the last 2 games? It appears that way.
