Battle of Hastings 1066 Thread

Should include boxing as part of the training routine so players can let off steam and sort out any differences in the ring.

There’s gotta be an investigation. Someone’s gotta be accountable.

I wonder who the other 3 blokes were that he got into a scrap with.
$1.15 would be the odds of Croker being one of them

Jake T is definitely one of them.

When Hastings scored against Souths, Jake was the first player there, but he did not look at Hastings and brushed him with his shoulder. DCE gave him a hug.

Jake was probably protecting Turbo from a Hastings spray.

If Jacko got into a fist fight with AFB and Kapow the next team he would be playing for would be Ward 2B Royal North Shore 😛

And we finally would be looking at our first NRL sanctioned medical retirement.

Although, because we are Manly, Greenberg would probably say the rule doesn't apply where a player has the **** beaten out of him by his teammates.

He's always making up dumb exceptions to rules for us.

If you’ve ever worked in an environment where you deal with people who have a narcissistic personality disorder you’d realise it can’t be fixed by a clip around the ear. I’m not suggesting this is Jackson Hasting’s problem but it sounds very similar.

you would think ,there would be someone tough enough in the team to put one on his chin and tell him to wake up......apparently not.!!!

This story is such a black eye for our club, to have players fighting is so bloody pointless!!! Where in the hell is the leadership in our club? Why are the coaching staff not dealing with this crap? The last thing we need is dirty laundry like this, come on Manly, its time to act like a team and be professional!!!

If the playing group are refusing to play with him (as reported today) it could mean they don't want his toxic nature at the club.

Rather than let it continue, they are saying they want him out. That to me, shows the playing group get along and don't want disharmony.

This is 3 clubs now where hastings has rumored to have a personality clash.

Agree, I'm really questioning whether I really want to be a member next year. This team never seems to stop dishing up crap year in year out. Does anyone really want to put up with this. If it's not the players it's the coach or the board or the owners.... Or did I mention the salary cap ****e. Please can they just behave like professionals and play and train at the level that reflects their salaries.

From the sounds of it at least three of them have tried

Joel Thompson was on Over the Black Dot tonight and they asked him about the situation. He said it’s been made out to be more than it was. He said the club has a great culture, great players and staff and he hopes Jackson is ok.

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.

Personally I am still shocked by all this, but just realised I owe an apology to @Snake who tipped us off a while back. At the time I found it too far-fetched to believe, so the only sane explanation I could come up with was that Snake had his wires crossed. So, sorry about that!

I have had experience with a person with a NPD and you are so correct. They can at times be absolutely charming but other times toxic and impossible to deal with.
If in fact Jacko has a PD he will likely blame everyone else and accept no responsibility for the current situation.

I read in one report Manly had offered him counselling.

I don't think Trent, DCE and the other players should be blamed for this situation. They would all want to win games as much as we want them to. Jacko is a very talented player . I am sure they would not have taken such drastic measures to get rid of him if the situation could have been repaired.

Here is highlights of Hastings try . No drama that I can see

 

[Brooke]

Does Hastings think he is Connor McGregor?

Paul Kent said that tonight on 360. He said Jacko said back in 2016 he was going to be the next Connor McGregor.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Interesting that he's picked for Blacktown. The Blacktown boys must be excited.

If the guy has issues that disrupts teams then why let him play with Blacktown ?

Have a look at the reply of nrl360. It shows different camera angle and the point where Jake gets to Hastings first. It is obvious, that is why 360 put it on.

Blacktown Boys know how to handle themselves......there'll be none of that touchy feely HR compliant stuff out west mate. #whackaJacko

LOL. I just said that cause he has a similar stupid haircut and goatee as Connor.

“I remember talking to guys at the Roosters,” Kent said.

“He was in front of the mirror one day at the Roosters and he was flexing in his little green Speedos and he had his green mouthguard in and he announced to the dressing room he was going to be the next Conor McGregor.

“Now this is at the start of 2016 when the Roosters were 1-6 at the time.
