Jackson Hastings #251

Sheens on Hastings when he first came back.

One player with whom he is familiar is Jackson Hastings. “I coached him as five-eighth in the All Stars team against England. He’s 103kg and, while he’s not super quick, he is strong. He’s a rock in defence on his side of the field. He can also fill the role of a ball playing No.13.”

“He’s different,” Sheens volunteers, before quickly adding, “I like different,” in the sense some players just want to get out there and play, rather than be mentally glued to a game plan.
 
Tammy is a character from a series of movies, the first of which was released in 1957 with Debbie Reynolds playing the character of Tammy.

Ironically Leslie Nielsen plays the part of a character involved in a plane crash which probably explains why the movie focuses on a main character called Tammy rather than one called Shirley.
 
Silly thought.

Say we sign Moses for 1.2 Million (Can't see 1 mil). Are we better off?

I realise we traded Hastings for Klemmer and Klemmer is a desperately needed front row upgrade.

Yet Hastings was on a 500/600k contract. We bump him to 800k were still a lot of coin below Moses. 1 vs 1, in everything but attitude Moses > Hastings.

I guess it is Williams/Moses/Hastings, who do you want to replace Luke Brooks?

Brooks won't be going

you mean 2018 Dally M halfback of the year and the number 7 in the team you support... expect you to be the first one cheering him on
or when it comes to Brooks death riding is pretty popular

Let’s be honest here.
Brooks was the 2018 fluke of the year.
Only his mother would really think he was the best halfback that year… but yes, he won it.
Here’s another fact… he is the most unsuccessful player in the NRL - playing the longest amount of games of any player without ever lining up in a semi final.
As a halfback I expect no more from him than the last 9 long years of disappointment.
He can’t direct the team around the park, has a poor short kicking game, and is hopeless at decision making.
He ain’t a half. This was evident when he was displaced from the position this year.
All for him as a running 6 with someone with football nous looking after the show.

ck,I have been a Brooks critic many times,however with a much better pack next year I can see him finally doing well in the 7,great defender,has speed and should have much support from experienced new team members...wishing him well...but can understand all our frustration with him over the years...

We get a goal kicker, something we have needed go a while! Look I don’t want the slimey turd back, but he can kick a goal and does have a good all round kicking game.

I also like the fact that sheens recognises that brooks can organise a team. Hence why they are going after Moses. The other bunch of halfwit coaches kept saying‘it’s l Luke’s team now’. #noidea

C’mon ck, Steven Spielberg couldn’t direct that mob around the park.
If they were directable, Sheens wouldn’t have got rid of most of them.
There’s been a noticeable lack of motivation throughout the club since Sheens was sacked. Brooksy wasn’t responsible for that, he was a victim.
So too Nofa. Lee said he needed something to play for...

2023 he is our number 7, if we land Moses or George Williams then he will be our 6
Either way I don't think he is going anywhere and Sheens and benji like him the halves
Let's see how 2023 goes with him at 7 he has a better forward pack than when he was playing well in 2018 and won Dally M halfback
 
Had a listen to the “bye round” Podcast from James Graham last night, he interviewed Jackson Hastings for 1 hour....Graham tried his hardest to get Hastings to dump on the WT, but he refused by dead batting every question...Hastings really talked up how much he loves the WT....class person....have a listen if you can.

Yet some in here would have you believe he’s the worst person in the world & the reason we got the spoon.
