good to hear someone trying to balance the media. AFL do it smooch better than NRL and Alicia is a good start.

Shows a far better understanding of clubs than "staff writers" and will get better over time Im sure. good article
 
Uh oh old red cheeks has had another swing at the tigers & sheens re Hastings in his DT column …

“Sheens is not a fan. He even asked caretaker coach Brett Kimmorley to move Hastings to lock forward last season.

It was a ridiculous positional switch.

Hastings is a halfback and a much better player than Sheens gives him credit for.
He was probably the Wests Tigers’ best player over the entire season.
Yet Sheens has made it blatantly clear he has no future at the club by throwing around multimillion-dollar offers for the likes of Cameron Munster and Mitchell Moses.”

Probably had our best run of games when he played lock. No idea why he cares so much about us.

Thanks very much for posting this.

Not sure why it never came to me before now, but after reading the words "joint venture" I thought that - considering the decisions made throughout the past several years - referring to it as simply "The Joint" would seem appropriate and probably explain a lot!

Wetsts Tigers star Jackson Hastings and his manager Liam Ayoub have been spotted in Newcastle.

They were not there for a holiday or to check out local real estate, either.

In fact one very good source has told your columnist the pair caught up last week with a man who was the spitting image of Knights general manager of football Peter Parr.

It’s common knowledge the Knights are in the market for a halfback.

Jake Clifford has gone to the UK Super League and Adam Clune struggles compared with the good halves. It’s why they’ve been desperately keen to get Luke Brooks out of the Wests Tigers.

Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens insists Brooks will not be released.

Hastings, however, is a different story.

Sheens is not a fan. He even asked caretaker coach Brett Kimmorley to move Hastings to lock forward last season.

Yet Sheens has made it blatantly clear he has no future at the club by throwing around multimillion-dollar offers for the likes of Cameron Munster and Mitchell Moses.

Knights assistant coach Andrew Johns is a big fan.

“I think he goes really well,” Johns said, “he went to England to learn his trade and he’s come back a tremendous player.

“Some of his games this year were absolutely sensational.

“I did some work with him years ago at the Roosters.

“I found him to be a really respectable young fella.

“It’s hard for a young halfback at a club with big personalities. It can be intimidating.”

A St George-Illawarra junior, Hastings has played for the Sydney Roosters, Manly, Salford and then Wigan in the UK Super League, the Wests Tigers and now possibly the Knights.

The Knights would become six clubs since he started in 2014 yet he’s still only 26.

He is under contract at the Wests Tigers until the end of next season.

No doubt Sheens is stubborn and stupid enough to let Hastings go so he can keep Brooks because look how long he persevered banging the Johnie Cronk round peg into the square hole with Morris all for zero benefit.
This does not auger well

Buzz has quotas to fill and we’re his favourite easy target.

Unless there’s a pic or confirmation from the player/management it's rubbish.
