JH is needing to sell his skills in case a better offer from another club comes up.
With this in mind I think him playing lock isn't doing him any favours...or is it?
He doesn't appear to have been upset by the move.
I don't know where we are heading with this and what JH future with us will be.
All I know is he is a real competitor and I want him to stay.

I feel positive that he will honour his contract. He's a real professional and an asset to any team.
From the current squad if we're down with a minute left on the clock, he's the guy I want in my team.

Exactly champ.
He is what's been missing from our side for years.
You talk about club DNA, well JH, JOFFA and AD are the type of players we need to build our side around.
They hate losing and will not go down without a fight.

Doueihi 13
Doueihi has a good eye for opportunity and has a better running game than Hastings, while Hastings strength is his organisational reading of the game.

The problem is his defense but he can hit hard.

You nailed it Cobar, I would also include Maumalo in that group. I like what he brings to the team.
I’m not confident we can hang onto JH, based on our history of moving on anyone who shows some on field leadership, but for sure, if you took a blood sample of those you mention , that’s the B positive group. 😜

in a good system Hadtings could play lock e.g. Roosters or storm

You of all people know that through experience mate 👍
True determination is a gifted trait.
When picking a captain you need to look for this quality.
When AD did his knee he knew it was bad and as he walked off the field he was so distraught. He knew he couldn't compete anymore. He showed how much he loves footy.
When we announced the 5 captains I was gob smacked.
Soldiers for thousands of years have been spurred on by a leader, a figure head.
You need 1 leader who stands out from the rest. Someone who is visibly a win at all cost man. Someone who loves his club and his teammates.

True. Your edges need to work overtime if your lock isn't up to it but having said that, JH put in a solid performance first time around.
JT I was eluding to the fact that if we want to keep him, do we persist playing him out of his preferred position.
Can you get a read whether he likes that position?
It is good for depth knowing that he can fill in there if say Joffa is injured.

If they are persisting with Hastings at lock can't see him hanging around.

Not if a better offer comes around. The question I've been asking is....does he care?

I would think there are already undercover enquiries from clubs looking for a really good 7.

Moving him to 13 is reinforcement that he is not a good 7. Of course he cares. That’s more of an insult than half of Cleary’s team taking a holiday.

I have no idea. He seems like a competitor but who knows if he knew this was coming when Douehi was fit or whether he feels he has done enough to hold his halves position. He has done enough to generate some interest from other clubs.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

if Hastings keeps the captaincy and plays lock we might keep him

What other club will he play halfback at?

Newcastle

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I guess if Hastings is the long term lock, than Ice will playing on the edge.

8. Offa
9. Api
10. Stef
11. Ice
12. ?
13. Hastings

AD is a real threat in attack.

He'll create something for sure.
And He'll only get better the longer he plays at 6

Glad you said threat I.e just the one threat. I'm reall concerned those boys could not get it done last week.
