I dont really like this swap.
Yes, Klem is as hood a prop as Hastings is a half, an through that prism its ok.
But, you dont trade out good, organisational halves.
You stand in front of them, you stroke their hair, you kiss them, and look into their eyes and whisper in their ear 'everything will be alright uleh'.
You dont trade them out. They are rare.
And if we are in the business of swapping out halves, wtf happened to the Brooks idea? Why is he being kept? That was the original plan.
If it is because of Bateman, sure, but if not then we ###### up. Its not that hard to find a running half or whatever Adam Leb is (He feels to me like a 2nd rower in the halves) but the Chad Townsend/Cleary organisers are few and far between and Hastings was on that level and he won us matches this year.
