Jock Madden is not the answer. Hastings is.

I don't think the club is looking at Hastings as the half.

They ought to be

Then they ought to be aiming higher

Who’d you recommend ?

I don't want to be death riding a bloke before he gets here - But lets get real, He hasn't worked out at 3 clubs in Australia and isn't even among the best halves in the UK (Yes.... I know he won the man of Steel - Yadda, Yadda , Yadda) So did Rangi Chase and Ben Barba - Todd Carney also won a Dally M on one year he didn't get close to repeating.

If he works, I'll eat my hat... He's not even close to the level of player we need. Having seen him play in the UK - I would suggest he's at about Kyle Flanagans Level, We can almost get him for free....

Hope you are wrong....think you are spot on. Major J Reynolds vibes.

My forecast is there will be many posts here in 9-12months talking about his energy, his effort, the way he talks it up and what a great bloke he is. We will also be probably 12th.

What a great bloke he is?? You can't be serious....
He's been on the radar for 10 years - And no one has ever said that about him!!

But but but but.....he was on a podcast!!!! and he sounded like a great bloke, and he recently patted a young kid on the head in the UK....

The forum will go to great lengths to talk up how good a guy he is once he signs. When LM was linked to us for months, you should have seen everyone fawning over him for going up to his hometown and helping with the bushfires. Once he signed with Souths, he was back to being a grub.

Further to this, someone the other day posted a tweet of Hastings acknowledging the death of his 90 year old grandfather, saying “I read this with a tear in my ear”. This place is ridiculous.

Lol @Tiger_Fanatic3
Surely he was joking!??

Suggest it could well have been auto spell check.

Poor guy was in tears reading "R.i.P Grand dad."

Whoever said Daine Laurie to 6 needs their head checked Laurie needs to stay at fullback douhi at 6 is a must he needs to stay there and learn the craft stick jacko at 7 he can control the team and do the kicking game douehi can do the long range bombs moving Laurie to 6 is exactly why certain people aren't nrl coaches

You've not kept up with what he's doing over there? The fans and his team mates absolutely love him. Does a lot of good work off the field, sheens gave him a big wrap too.

Dunno how he'll go on the field for us but he seems like he's not the young idiot he used to be

Recently he jumped off the Wigan Pier and walk o top of the River Douglas.

Scary things our fearless leader saying they want to re-sign him further

9 yrs of brooks is enough.. i welcome jackson hastings number 7. For 2022. I'm on the Jacko bus.

Mate Brooks would kill it in England too.

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

If Hastings proves to be better after arriving go with him, in the meantime keep brooks. Considering we can’t sign any nrl players, the idea we are going to magically sign a better halfback is pretty crazy. I know we all want success yesterday but unfortunately we’re going to need to stay patient. Just need to make sure ever new player we sign is better than the players they replace and we don’t tie up our cap long term on risky propositions.

 

[weststigerman]

Hastings is an inferior player to Blake Austin. Anyone who thinks he's going to save us is willfully ignorant.

Daine Laurie at 6 and Jock Madden at 7 and bring Logen Dillon into the 1 jersey during the offseason. All youth all the time next year imo. At least they are unknown quantities.

Yikes, if you think our defence is bad now, imagine how bad it would be with that 1, 6 and 7.

Not a bad idea for him. Playing at our club all this time can't be good for you.

 

[weststigerman]

If AD has done his ACL, I think they’ll keep Brooks.

 

[Ultimate Warrior]

Bump Brooks and play with a second lock. Let Douhei run the team. Simples. 😃

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If AD has done his ACL, I think they’ll keep Brooks.

And if he hasn’t, guess what…..they’ll still keep him.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

No 7 on the market as good as Brooks

If you’re going to bag him at least get it right.
He played for 2 clubs in Australia.
If he compares anywhere near to Barba or Carney in talent will do me … and even Chase represented NZ Maoris and England.
Whatever level you think he’s at doesn’t matter as long as it’s above Brooks bottom rung performances.

Here's a thought - Before you bang on about what I don't know, Do some research yourself...
I don't even care - But know that he played for the Dragons before the Roosters pilfered him. Was big news at the time... He came through the Dragons...
Dragons - Roosters - Manly... I'll leave the math to you.

He is so far below Brooks level it's frightening... Anyhow, No point arguing with Genius - I'll look out for you when you're back this time next year calling for his head.

The fans don't love him, Certainly not all of them - I saw it myself...
Many of them mock him for his online / media persona - And how he's selling himself to get back to NRL.
Totally different to how he really is, It's a running joke over there.

He was a Dragons junior before the roosters poached him. Didn’t actually play NRL for them though
