I'm not a big Hastings fan but he does cover all spine positions. With Laurie likely not coming he'd be a handy back up.

So the Man of Steel would be happy to leave and be a back up player at the Mighty Wests Tigers..seems legit

I'd much rather be a back up for the WT than play in one of the worst Covid affected countries on the planet.

Hastings on a cut price deal I wouldn't say no to. he has never had any issues with ability, only his ego and mindset. if he can sort those then the sky is the limit.

He's been outstanding in his 2 1/2 years over in England. I understand that people see the competition as being weak in comparison to the NRL so instantly rule out certain options returning but people obviously haven't been watching him and are just making a judgement based on the competitions reputation and his form from several years ago.

2 1/2 years growth and development has without a doubt improved Hastings game and he has been consistently a stand out player.

I'd 100% have him here.

It's common knowledge with the fans he puts up a good front - because he wants back in the NRL.... Wouldn't find a better bloke on Social Media.
He's still a absolute tool, and arrogant with fans etc....
Very happy with himself.

The only reason he shows any humility over there is because It's his last throw, He's been humbled by being sacked more than once... And because he's trying to worm it back home.
I don't have an opinion on him... But what I've seen with my own eyes in the UK from him...
I wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.

Take it from someone who has associated with him on a personal level, the guy bleeds arrogance and for no reason at all. That's why I wasn't surprised with the Manly stuff, and I know it's probably just a case of he's a little fish in a big pond, but trouble will always attract more trouble.

If only he had his old man's ability and humility .....

Kevvy is a legend. I think he does PT stuff in yankville now

If Brooks doesn't improve, Tanah Boyd is the first guy we should target. Seems like he won't be in the starting team in the GC and is young and very talented.

Yeah i reckon Tanah Boyd lacks that yard of pace to make it as an NRL player ...Fogarty and Fotuaki ...hell yeah

think the club would rather give Madden a crack if it happens. Boyd's a good player but better to look to our own stocks first.

I am interested to see how madden goes. Hopefully gets a crack round 1. We need a classy halfback with good long kicking and game management.

Yeah he looks like he brings the best out of Ash Taylor, but he's no better than Brooks, the bloke is nearing 30 and only just made his grade debut this year. I've seen some jurnos rank him as high as the 6th or 7th best half in the game, absolutely ludicrous. Watching Big Papali chase him down over 50m doesn't exactly fill you with confidence.
I believe he will struggle this year and Boyd will get opportunities mid season.

I've seen it more than once, couldn't believe it, don't know what I'm missing.

Ash Taylor is terrible. Not sure why people think he's good again after last season, he still looked pretty average to me

Titan's over paid for sure, and they are stuck with him for a while still, hence why I think they need to keep Fogarty in the team.

Honestly with all the crap spewed on about Brooks, just be glad we don't have Taylor. The guy has never even shown anything that resembles a first grade halfback - and he's played along side numerous origin players over his career

And he's on a cool $1M/season as well just to top it off.

Surprised they're not using Boyd over Taylor to be honest.
