The thing about him also is he's so consistent. Really he's playing like the perfect modern day lock: strong defensively, hard running, good line speed and silky and confident distributor. He's fast for a forward too, and so his lateral movement has helped our defensive line and line speed. Really can't fault him and he's been up against two of the best forward packs this year and two teams beating most of the others.
It wouldn't work if he wasn't able to get through the work or handle the extra physicality but he actually gets stronger throughout the game and he's better at holding the player up in defence than all but Alex twal in our forward pack.
I liked him at halfback, I like him even more now.

Any word on injury?
I don’t think we have ever seen the structure by any club that the Tigers are playing before. Hastings is playing like a lock in defence but a organising halfback in attack. It’s a revolutionary position. He is more than a ball playing lock . It allows us to have 2 5/8s in attack . . It is brilliant & I hope the Tigers persist with it . That being said, I think only very few if any can play that 1/2 lock position that Hastings is currently playing. Hope that injury is not to bad

Really sad news for Hastings. That type of tackle should have been banned. Carrigan shouldn't play again this year.

We are having a hellofaseason that’s for sure.
Yeah it’s been great having him dig into the line and pass which has compressed the middle and created space for Madden and Doueihi. They’re also getting more ball at speed.
I like the look of it and Hastings has been up to the defensive load so far, but it’s going to be a punish for him to keep it up.

If that report is correct it's a bad injury but not as bad as a fractured ankle.
He might need a rod inserted depending on how many pieces the fibula has broken into.
Real shame. Feel for Jackson. NRL need to get serious and stamp that tackle out of the game. Make an example of Carrigan.

I wonder what Sheens can cook up now that Hastings is gone. He adds so much direction to the team. Idk how we can replace him.
Just as blue skies were on the horizon, the clouds came over again.

It almost happened in the preseason to Hastings with Lindsay Collins going low, I'm surprised he didn't even get suspended for his hit on Hastings then. It's a horrible tackle and it can wreck careers.

Big loss
Nah, I think there’s a decent chance they smash him. Nobody likes gutless tackles like hip drops and cannonballs and the NRL can’t afford to go soft on them given the injury risks. If he gets a soft penalty it will be because the panel is dopey enough to swallow a technical defence.
