Hastings would be a better 6 than Douhie

I think if you were doing that it would be Hastings 7 Brooks 6 and douhie to centres

Career suicide - talk about jumping from the frypan onto the fire

I don't think he has had much of a career here.

He deserves to get a chance in a different system to achieve something

Great post. On Hastings, his NRL career was resurrected by WTs, so I'd be surprised if he left.

Resurrected by Madge.

Hope he stays.

Hastings went well at 13 but Faagutu (I read) is possibly the best junior out of Qld for a long time. I doubt Sheens views Hastings at a half.

You could be right as well. It'll be interesting how they run out next season. Injuries will play a part as well.

 

[Tim Sheens]

If he is I don't see why we bother playing Hastings at 13. He was our best half. Why not let the other guys prove who should get the 6 spot. Brooks was playing as a 6 anyway.

Because the distribution role from lock is Hastings best position for mine.

Like others, I had some hope that he may be able to grab the opportunity that Doueihi's injury provided in the halves, though expected him to play the 13 role since the day he signed with WT.

Maybe people were watching different matches than I was this year, but my eyes saw that opposition coaches only took a couple of weeks to work him out, then nullify him in the halves, mainly due to lack of pace. In the NRL I see Jackson as a 13 first, 9 second and back-up in the halves, though happy for him if he can prove me wrong.

Those who want brooks at half need to look at the games he has played .Brooks is quieter then a church mouse on the field.he does not know how to direct a team around the park .Brooks does not handle pressure too well. He looked better outside Hastings.
Iam happy for brooks to stay 5/8 but we need to be rolling forward pretty good for him to stand out .

What you never had a tree dick ? Funny so funny when I saw it great pic

I lived in Brisbane for 4 years and designed an intersection upgrade near Moura, Qld. I thought it was funny that it is in the Shire of Banana.
Maybe they'll consider changing that to Shire of Yellow Tree Dicks?! 🤣

Mate you can't be serious?

Brooks and Doueihi. The 9 seasons to me is irrelevant. Who is going to perform better.

I suppose you can just delay the decision. Brooks and Doueihi are both signed up next season but then they are gonski. Re-sign Hastings, see if Faagutu comes on and then adjust.

That means no long term signings for Brooks and Doueihi. You pick one.

Doueihi and Hastings will perform better. Based on the 9 seasons. Which is only irrelevant if you wanna live in delusion.
