Ha, small part.
I thought it was going to be a controversial opinion, so hedged a bit.
I'm about 30% sure he's not a great half, and 90% sure he's not a guy to lead the team and rebuild around.

Jackson Hastings is a talented player who has had some difficulty fitting in with teams in the past, but that doesn't mean he should be ostracised. Human behavior is complex and not always easy to understand, so it's important to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he performs with the Newcastle Knights. Here's hoping he can make a positive impact on the team and help them achieve success on the field

I see what you mean, this makes sense. Perhaps it would help if you wrote a jingle about Jackson Hastings, for our forum.

Don't forgot Curtis Scott to the Raiders. What a shambles of signing that was. Paid $450,000 yearly to miss tackles and get arrested.WT Winfield wrote:
Yeah passing up on the opportunity to offload him to the Knights last season is up there with signing Mbye on a massive contract as dumbest moves of the last decade. That one forward from the Storm was a pretty bad signing too though. Can't even remember his name, but got in the punch-up with Glenn Stewart on the sideline.

I was thinking along the same lines, he'd probably be a decent 13 and free up room to get in an organising half because Brooks ain't gonna do it. Knowing the Wests Tigers they will manage to pay a $750,000 transfer fee for Brodie Croft to sign him on a 5-year deal.

It must be the reason. Also I don’t expect much from guys priced around the 300k mark regardless of past performance, just makes things less stressful when they score 30 oddAardvark wrote:

Adam Blair. Such a bad signing.

G'day mate, I appreciate the offer but I must respectfully decline. There's another bloke on the forum whose skills I reckon are better suited to your request as he has previously posted some rap songs. I wouldn't want to take the gig of another human who might be keen on the task. Cheers!

If you dont already have him, its a risk bringing in a guy that could just as easily be 18th man or dropped entirely next week.Bethany_B wrote:The 24-hour cut has come for the Titans v Storm match and it looks like Garlic is back on the menu! (on the bench replacing Jordan Grant).
No other changes for either team.

I have absolutely no evidence for this, but my theory is that Hastings might be slightly neurodivergent - seems like he struggles with interpersonal skills, and in a very structured and homogeneous culture like a football team I can see that could very quickly snowball into being ostracized.
Seems that in footy you can be the blokey, larger than life extrovert, or a quiet follower, but if you step out of your lane you're "not a good fit" or "not buying into the culture we're building"
Again - amateur psychoanalysis from a distance. Take with a Hopgood-as-captain level of salt.
I suspected that as well after last week. It was only afterwards that he seemed to realise it was a bad idea to approach Talau directly after the game.
He seemed to realise that the reaction he got was not unexpected and didn't harbour any ill will. I think regular blokey blokes who are part of a very structured environment with it's rituals and ingrained codes of behaviour might have a hard time dealing with people who don't conform to those stereotypes.

I think I'm taking Doorey's 30. Then will choose between Katoa and BMM for another score. I've just realised my team is not very good.

Well here we are it’s Game Day once more and this one tonight is all and out war! That’s right this one has extra feeling and spice to it as we take on our arch rivals our enemies who we absolutely despise with a passion. That’s right the biggest most bitter rivalry in the game is back on again tonight 115 years of pure and utter hatred and the hate is as strong as it’s ever been as we taken on the Rorters tonight at Trellianz Stadium. Lately we have had the wood on the Rorters winning 5 of the last 6 I think so they’ll be desperate tonight to overturn that and get a win over us. We all remember the insanity of Sin Bin Sunday last year at Trellianz Stadium where we knocked them out and as I said they’ll be burning deep inside because of that. For us I think we are very focussed but go into this knowing we have a job to do. We were down a few troops last week and lost at Penrith so we are also very hungry to get back in that winners circle and to go 2 and 1. Whatever happens tonight it’ll be another fiery game I am sure and another chapter will be written in the book of feuds hopefully another victory to the way of the good guys!
For us tonight I’m hoping to see a good red and green turn out, we haven’t had a home game but let’s turn into one let’s take over Trellianz Stadium everyone who is going load your voices leave nothing in that tank I wanna hear that South Sydney chant loud and proud around Trellianz Stadium. Let’s bbbbooooooooo and let the ref know as well when the Rorters infringe so we also get our fair share of penalties and six agains. For us it’s about sticking to the task don’t get baited into the Rorters tactics of getting under our skin and putting us off our game. We need a completion rate much higher than last week we need to complete at 80percent and make sure our kicking game is on and we give the ball back to them in the corners make them work hard out of their own end and don’t piggyback them out. In the middle we need to stop the offloads that can be an issue for us so that’s a key focus. Our middles need to do a job as well and our bench in making good metres to allow our spine to get in and do their thing. And our edges need to be aware as plenty of questions will be asked of us out wide. For the Rorters they have threats all over the park Teddy will see this as a revenge game, they have Manu, Suaali, Jaxson Paulo will want a big game against us but I see him as a weakness on that wing on AJ side one where we can target and keep peppering him. They have Keary and S. Walker very dangerous in the halves. They also get Radley, JWH back tonight and they have Collins too who has been playing strong. So yeah plenty of threats so we can’t lapse in concentration I’m expecting them to come out hard and fast and we need to weather the storm.
SO OK RABBITOHS MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS WHETHER AT TRELLIANZ STADIUM OR AT HOME OR OVERSEAS EVERYONE ON YOUR FEET AT 8PM TONIGHT PROUD TOGETHER WE STAND AS ONE CHEER TIL YOU YAVE NO VOICE LEFT AND CLAP YOUR HANDS AS HARD AS YOU CAN!!! WEAR THOSE COLOURS PROUDLY GET THE BOYS HOME WITH THAT W AND WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER TO THE GOOD GUYS IN THE BOOK OF FEUDS! LETS FEAST ON ROAST CHOOK TONIGHT LETS GO RABBITOHS!!! GLORY GLORY SSTID!!!

Probably a CTR more than a half. Fantasy coaches love him as a half because he puts up good stats, but I don't know if he helps his team win.
