So by the looks Hastings has the support of the majority of the forum

Hastings- former man of steel , led Salford one of the worst teams in esl to a grand final, followed that up by leading wigan to a grand final last year , one of Wigan's best this year

Ash taylor - played 16 games , inconsistent, disappears in games , is scared to take the line on since his hip injury , looks like sloth from the goonies

I know who I'm taking and its not sloth I agree with @Russell if Hastings is halfback and given the reigns he will be in conversation for halfback of the year

Ash taylor is a clone of Brooks

Looking at it at a squad perspective we are losing Mybe and Walters who both cover halves and hooker and are bringing in Hastings and Taylor (rumoured).

Based off ability and likely salaries I'd say we would be making an upgrade.

Clarkey is a Titans supporter and does get some inside goss from the Titans. Putting 2-2 together would say Taylor is coming.

I’m not against it, he isn’t terrible.
Has more upside than the upside of what we have in the halves and with AD out for a while & Mbye gone we need a filler

Don’t think it’s clarkeys column, michael clarke i think

Hmm.
Michael Clarke is a Tigers supporter so if he said its a big name then here’s hoping & that the leaks are out of the club on this one.

When the GC were going well during middle of the year Taylor was playing well. At a good price we have little to loose

You're thinking of Clarkey the bloke who has an NRL page on Facey and Insta, we're all talking about Michael Clarke the retried cricketer and radio host.

Nah @Plisskin Hastings is the messiah , the 2nd coming of joey 🤣🤣🤣

Lol I highly doubt his impact will be significant. That said, he will be a step up from the potato currently wearing the 7.

Lol I highly doubt his impact will be significant. That said, he will be a step up from the potato currently wearing the 7.

I bet Hastings is at least able to run through his own milestone banner on game day.

Ash Taylor is a much better player than Luke Brooks. On his recent form the two are comparable but there is a much bigger upside with Taylor.

Honestly think Id rather have Brooks...and I dont even want Brooks

Some commenting on the appearance of Taylor should cast their minds back to Arthur Beetson. First picked in most reps side and a former Qlder and Balmain Tiger.

As for appearances, sorry Nathan but Hastings probably has you covered in the chin dept.

We’d have been better off with Taylor than Hastings.

Have you become a fortune teller? You already know how Hastings is going to go next year?

In GNR’s defence there have been times where Taylor has outplayed the best halves in the NRL. Hastings hasn’t.

Huh? What lol. Tsylor has outplayed the best halves in the NRL? Mate he was hyped up more then brooks and has played about the same number of good games as brooks. He’s gone from a million dollar contract to not being able to get a contract for $250k by 16 nrl teams. I think I will happily take my chances with Hastings over Taylor. No one knows what we will get with Hastings but we sure as hell know that we will get brooks 2.0 with Taylor .

It's true, go back a few years and have a look at some of his games. There's a reason why he got paid $1m.

Go back 8 years and you will see why brooks is on $800k now.

I actually don’t mind Taylor at $250k . At best he proves people wrong and delivers on his potential, at worst he is a great back up half in reggies.
