666 - Number of the Beast

[Brocky]

what is the concern about Hastings playing 5/8. I think the guy is amazing, great speed and can kick. Why waste all hat money when we have a replacement.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

At this stage discussions surrounding Pearce are merely conjecture.

I hope Pearce ends up somewhere else. Given that Manly might struggle to find the money he wants and that his desire to play halfback might annoy/destabilise things, I say, ‘Say hi to Northies, Mitch!’

 

[Holmsey]

There is a couple of things that make him less desirable than other options.

1. His attitude, its bad and hes arrogant. Got dropped to reserves so had a sook.
2 Form, he hasnt played good since his roosters under 20s days
3 Ability, he simply doesnt have the skill of an elite half and to be honest is very overrated

Im sick of us taking gambles on players for the halves, we need a quality long term halves partner for chez. Pearce is that man.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yes, because Pearce has never had any issues of his own, has he?😉

My only problem with pearce is, how long term is he really going to be??
He loves the chooks, and cronks only got 2 years left in him.. I wouldnt be surprised in the slightest to see pearce sign a 2 year deal and run back to bondi in 2020

 

[The better Robbo]

Jackson gone. Pearce to manly. Done deal croker and cullen as back up halves

If he loved the chooks and the chooks loved him back as much he would no be in this predicament
The love affair is over feathered friend

 

[jbb/james]

Its hard to tell from afar but the fact cullen Seemed to overtake him in the pecking order as the saeson went on and reports he threw the toys out of the cot is good enough for me

Barret seems fair and if he deserved the opportunity they were there to be taken and his experience and his early season chances indicates he had some but probably lacked something off the field

Manly signing 2 young halves in croker and metcalf sends a message regardless of pearce

So its a no from me being the logical replacement

Is that done like the Thompson deal?

 

[The better Robbo]

Is that done like the Thompson deal?

From all reports Thompson was all but a done deal until pearce came along. Nothing is certain until its official, I just pass on what I hear.

Yeah, just like Des and Foz love Manly and will be coming back any day now.

Reports are good enough eh, hope you're never on a jury if I'm on trial hahaha.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Because Hastings is from the Tim Smith school of halves.

What did you do Ned ?

Hey....your last name isn't Kelly is it ?

So the latest rumour is that the Dogs are interested in Hastings. I thought he was about to go to the Storm at one stage.

I think he could be a very good player but I think the attitude still needs tuning.

Damn that fukken Baz and Bozo for spending every bloody week last year at training with Hastings and watching countless hours of video and not recognising his amazing talent . Dumb buuggers!

The proof is in the pudding when green was injured Cullen played the six not Hastings the kid is average and a dud if he's as good as you're making out why is he stuck in reserve grade at our club

Appreciate it mate, keep it coming. It’s funny, people come on here hoping someone will have some mail. Then shoot the messenger if circumstances change. The business of signing players is a volatile environment, and signings that looked the goods can fall through as clubs and players swap and change as the landscape evolves. Happens to @Snake and @Supreme Leader as well.
