I give up.
dont give up eagle!
Look one thing is certain, we all want Manly back on top! Hopefully it all starts against the slime...
I Just hope the last scene doesn't include a picture of a Norman victory jig this coming Sunday afternoon.😉
I disagree
Team culture and harmony is hugely important, look at the Tigers, not the most talented team but working together and working for each other
The Panthers are another example, Moylan and Cartwright, both hugely talented players shipped out as it is rumoured they were a bad influence on the playing group.....Panthers are now flying
If you have a cancer in the squad, cut it out and heal
I am also disappointed and I am finding it hard to believe all this attitude talk.
We see Hastings a lot after he has played -he always comes over to us for a chat even at away/interstate games we always have a joke. He always seems to be trying.
Even at his last game at Brookie against Canberra we watched him help carrying the padding for the goal posts off the field- how many players have you seen do that?

To the detriment of the loyal paying fans and the sponsors??? Jacko is contracted to the end of the year. If he's going to increase our performances on the paddock ffs play him. Plenty of careers and reputations are on the line and the only thing that can remedy the situation is to WIN footy games. You may think this is punishing one player if we banish/sell him but if we have a God awful season in 2018 then more people than just Jacko will be worse off. We need to consider the big picture here and just get on with it.

Call me a bit old school... but give them a pair of gloves each and sort it out like men! Christ some of my best mates are blokes I’ve punched in with!
Take it a step further... make it a fundraiser event as well, maybe even an annual event to raise some money for charity or whatever. Done properly, it could be the sort of thing that benefits the club, players and supporters enormously...

We got pumped in a fever, flogged in a Tigers rout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the rumour came out.
I'm known as Jackson, I'm not gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm known as Jackson,
Look out Jackson's in town.
Well, go on down Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go on Jackson; go comb your hair!
Cherry, I'm gonna banish Jackson.
See if I care.
When I breeze into that team, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them players gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm known as Jackson, don't need a photo of a goat.
'Cause I'm known as Jackson.
"Goodbye, " that's all Baz wrote.
Well now, we got everyone in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the rumour came out
I'm gone said Jackson, and that's a fact.
Yeah, your're goin' Jackson, ain't never comin' back.

It's not rocket surgery if you're one of 17 blokes in a team and the other 16 don't want to know you then you need to take a good hard look at yourself. People can usually forgive the occasional fark up if they can see you're trying but no one wants to hang around someone who won't help themself.
its daffy duck .. wahoo .. wahoo ..wahoo

I have not heard in any of this .. that Hastings isn't a good person ..
Without inside knowledge, I don't know how his problems manifest themselves, as you say attitude to playing obviously isn't one, ... is it more of a personality disorder? I don't know.
But both Baz and DCE have always impressed me with being level headed and decent blokes .. when they, after numerous incidents and 18months say enough, and that seems to be backed up by the team ... then I can only think that whatever the issues .. they are pretty special ...
2:42pm update - Jersey Flegg side announced - can confirm Jackson not named
Thanks CC. Though I don't think Jackson can play in the U-20s anymore.
Umm no my point is having a player that creates disharmony effects team performance
I believe keeping him is detriment to the loyal paying fans, sponsors and most importantly our on field performance
IMO we win more games this season with Hastings away from the squad than we do with him in it.....17 players working as a team, rowing in the same direction
Did anyone else see the interview that Hastings gave I think after the Parra game? It was just the usual round of players at the club talking to the media but he mentioned how his attitude had changed and he finally started taking advice about it and how it had improved.
Seems it only improved for a week or 2.
It's a shame as I really wanted him in the team but sounds like the players just don't like him.
It would be hard to keep him around in a situation like that. Not good for him either.

Grizzly old fart
I know nothing of Hastings other that what is written here and in the Media. So my comments may be quite misguided. But it amazes me that someone with such fine talent as Jackson, can allow his personality flaws to interfere with what could be an outstanding career. I mean he must know about discipline, because to reach the level he has achieved would require an awful lot of sacrifice and commitment. If I had that talent I wouldnt be allowing anything to get in my way to get to the top. Obviously Jackson has not treasured his ability enough and its sad to see him probably leaving the Eagle Nest. I hope he learns finally that he has a flaw in his nature and learn to control it, because it would be a tragedy to see such talent go to waste. Good luck to you Jackson. And thanks for the entertainment you gave us.
Update 4.00pm - NRL Side named - Jackson not in 21 man squad.
Last seen wearing a red and white striped skivvy. Where's Jackson ??
