And if you think that he outplayed either, then I suggest you rewatch the games particularly the one's we won (half o which Brooks wasn't there for). Brooks did what he has done for the majority of his career: produced poor 5th tackle options, displayed a garbage short kicking game and failed to direct the team around and had above average defence. AD returned from a knee reconstruction and showed his ability to take on the line alone made him more valuable and Hastings ability to organise and direct the team and short kicking game was something we haven't seen in years and was largely responsible for the piss poor number of games we won. Are either perfect? Far from it but we haven't seen them in the halves together and both showed enough to merit at least trying it instead of persisting with a low-IQ halfback who has failed to lead the team anywhere in 10 years.
How does signing Smith say that they don't rate Hastings or AD? He's on a train and trial contract and is purely there for depth. Munster and Moses are two of the best halves in the game so of course if you have a chance to get them, you try. Outside the Panthers, just about every other team in the comp would go after them if they had the cap space so that's a ridiculous argument.
Sheens also persisted with John Morris for years, not to mention carrying two backs on the bench at times, playing multiple players out of position, and missed the finals most of his time here (including when we were favourites in 2012) . So even your sad little appeals to authority lack substance. Sheens is not infallible despite the best efforts of his bootlickers on here trying to suggest otherwise
