He did it over in the ESL.
It's one thing to grab players from winning cultures but its another all together to bring someone who knows how to be apart of a team struggling and then learn how to win. Those players are very rare. Hastings though is showing some top line qualities. It's early early days but he has been very impressive so far.

I reckon he is the ultimate footy nerd. Like lives and breathes it. He apparently is quite quiet and in his own words a little bit of a loner, maybe he just loves performing more than anything else and more anyone else.

A guy we won't speak of.... 😂😉

Credit to Hastings tho.
What a footballer.

No really, PM me, do you mean Barrett or Robinson, or is this a forum joke I haven’t caught on to?

Definitely. He's an organiser but plays off instincts, and not just with running. He is exceptional.

Not sure if you noticed but he gave Musgrove a mouthful for rushing on Dylan's Brown and missing the tackle that led to try.

If we can get the plodders in the forwards to have some discipline more regularly then we might have a chance.

He even had the fowards running great lines and players in motion. Real team player and kudos to management on getting him here. Reminded me alot of Farah with his passion and strive to win.

I reckon Hastings makes players around him better.

Does any 1 know when the injured players are due back? Kapoe and doughi must be close

100 percent

100 percent

To me thats the definition of a really good, if not great player, they make the ordinary players around them better.

Jackson is free to talk to other clubs come November 1st should we try’s and lock him up before then?

Of course. We need to build the team around him and Doueihi. Hastings is a key player. Losing Luc is a tragedy but losing Hastings would be a million times worse.

No I didn’t notice that. That is perfect, it was wasted from me sitting here In my lounge room screaming at Musgrove!
I noticed the next opportunity though that freak defender Alex Twal (cough * doubters) nailed the inside pressure on Brown and the ball skidded over the sideline!

Not sure but Toa deserves to keep his center spot played and defended well.

I watched the game over he’s an organiser he took the pressure off Brooks before during and after the game. You need a talker as your HB he’s constantly pointing telling players where to be what lines to run. The best part of Brooks game is his running he allows that Hastings might not be the fastest or best player going around but he seems like the type of player you want in your team especially now he has the chip off his shoulders. He was my MOM Brooks wasn’t far behind but I’ve always thought Brooks looked to be a better 6 than a 7.
Long may it continue!

Yeah he definitely played well. I'm keen to see Dias come into the side. Seems to be much more mobile than Musgrove + Makaele.

Yeah for sure I’m just keen to see a few of them in reserve grade to give them a boost and some confidence

 

[Merlot]

I missed that but great to hear of some accountability in the group

I very much doubt that will be an issue if he performs. If we want him to stay he will.
