Danny Weidler reporting Hastings returning to the NRL next year with Tigers front runners to sign him.
We'd be the only runners. Seriously if this true, our recruitment has reached a new low. I believed Joey Leilua to be right down there.
Why would Hastings be a new low?
I informed a friend of mine. He and his family have links to Illawarra footy. His first comment is why do some coaches believe they are the exception when others have failed (in relation to recruiting players who have a history)? This is the same gentleman who pointed out a young 16 year old Ryan Girdler as a future star. I listen when someone of that background makes comment.
No offence intended mate but I dont think we should entirely write off this potential signing based on your mate who has connections to Illawarra footy.
No offence taken. But if we are considering or have signed Hastings, I despair for our club and its future.
What did Hastings actually do? No one has ever said. He also seems to have matured a lot after being exiled.
Blow up witb DCE and most of the other players in the team was the last thing I remember. He didn't seem to get along with many people wherever he went.
Blow up with DCE wow didn't see that coming
And this is what I mean. He's essentially been run out of the country based on a bad attitude at this point. I assume he did something really nasty off field that has been ignored or covered up because he's a nobody
He was only 22 at the time and some young men do not mature as quickly as others. If ruffling the feathers of a few ego's is the worst he has done I think he is probably entitled some leeway. His price tag would be thing I am most concerned about. He is still relatively in proven here.
Nothing wrong with hating Manly players.
The blokes who don’t want him are scared he’ll show Brooks up.
The Brooks fan club are so worried we will have a number 7 that madge can use if Brooks don’t deliver that they are using any reason to talk down this signing.
What ? You’ve lost the plot ! Why are you death riding our halfback ? I don’t see anyone denigrating Hastings . If you think Hastings is the saviour , then I’ve got bad news for you . The team needs to lift around the spine collectively , which will happen as the game time they play together increases . And that includes Brooks. . If the club decides to move him on , then Madden not Hastings should be the one to get the nod . Hastings is NOT a halfback . You’re so Enamaouted with dumping our halfback , that you somehow have twisted it in your head that your being victimised . It’s actually impressive how you’ve done that . A little scary , with the lack of reasonable thought , but impressive none the less .
You need help. My 12 year old daughter has more IQ and rationale then you. Once again you plant false statements and accusations to make your point. I don’t know if that makes you feel good about yourself but if your lonely don’t take it out on me. Show me where I’m death riding our halfback. I’ve actually just stated in another post after the Rabbitohs game that our spine should be given time to gel and work together. Where did I say Hastings will be our saviour? I don’t think any player in the club is putting pressure on Brooks and that includes Madden. Have you been watching our NSW cup team? So if Hastings is here , then yes I’m happy that Brooks will be looking over his shoulder. Nothing would please me more then Brooks turning into a champion because that means tigers will be winning. But if he doesn’t then we need to have options. If Hastings is here as a lock I’m happy with that aswell. And my favourite , I’m “being victimised” what the hell are you on lol. It’s a forum , people will have different opinions then me and you, get a grip on yourself.
??? You chop and change so much it’s hard to keep up . My message is the same as it always has been .
I’m going to back brooks to hilt , whilst the club backs him , and he wants to be here . When that day comes , and it will at some point , whether he’s Johns 2.0 or Ben Black , single gamer , then I will back whoever the heir apparent is . That’s it .
I’m sick of reading the same garbage , by the same people . It’s beyond repetitive, nasty , and for the most part boring .
When there’s some kind of actual change to the status quo , then go for your life . But this is it for the foreseeable future . Stop retreading old ground .
It’s non of your business what I write or don’t write. It’s a forum , you don’t like my opinion then don’t read it. There are many others on here that have stronger opinions on Brooks then me yet you seem to follow me around like a bad smell. I’m not obsessed with Brooks the person like you are. My opinion of him will constantly change depending on how he plays. If he takes ownership of his team and gets us some wins then I will be his biggest fan. If he doesn’t then I will be the first to call for changes.
