Battle of Hastings 1066 Thread

[Chip and Chase]

Things certainly went tits up it seems.

I heard your name mentioned a bit too mate.

It is pretty consistent with what has happened in the past - he seems like a nice kid (most of the time) and tends to present well...when he is not causing issues

 

[Brooke]

I don't not like Twenty, nor have I ever posted that we should remove him.
No Manly player should be seen in a strip club during the season. Win or lose.

DCE should never have gone to anyones room @ 1AM to sort out issues.
Jackson obviously has problems.

Manly are losing what little is left of their credibility everyday, and we are now a lol thread in every newspaper and fan site in the Country.

1AM must have been when Jacko got back from the strip club

Excuses?

Sorry man, the players have no excuses for the **** they dished up in the last 2 weeks. Hastings is just not important enough to affect 9 million dollars worth of Neanderthals holding a ball and running at a brick wall.

Yeah fair point I could have quoted no disruption or distraction with Hastings not there that gets away from doing the 1% things ,,,

 

[Snake]

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 really appreciate this act of class on your behalf. You and I have agreed on a lot of things since that discussion but the memory of you calling my integrity into question did linger a little in the back of my mind, but no longer. My sincerest thanks!

Get a room you two

If the word is he doesn’t really fit in with the boys, I’m not sure if he was at the strip club.

Manly coach Trent Barrett says Jackson Hastings was a ticking time bomb at Sea Eagles

SEA Eagles coach Trent Barrett was desperate to offload Jackson Hastings in February to avoid increasing conflict between the utility player and his teammates.

Barrett believed the hostility would eventually boil over and he needed to nip the problem in the bud.

But when no rival club could be found for Hastings, Barrett thought the best course of action would be to banish him to the NSW Cup for the rest of this season.

Club officials made Hastings’ manager Sam Ayoub aware of the tension between his client and his Manly teammates.

And Barrett called a meeting with Hastings, Ayoub, the RLPA and Manly welfare officer Quentin Pongia on February 2 in a desperate bid to try to end the friction.


Unfortunately, the problem couldn’t be resolved.

It can also be revealed that:

• MANLY may sanction skipper Daly Cherry-Evans over two scuffles — one physical and one verbal — with Hastings when the Sea Eagles were in Gladstone to play Gold Coast in round five.

• CLUB officials and Hastings have had ongoing dialogue about the player’s behaviour.

• MANLY arranged counselling for Hastings but it’s understood he didn’t continue with the sessions.

He will play against Wyong on Saturday at Berkeley Vale Oval.


Four Manly players were scheduled to speak with the media — Api Koroisau, Brad Parker, Brian Kelly and Jono Wright — but Barrett overruled and fronted up for an intense nine-minute interview.

“This is an issue we tried to fix and I wish it hadn’t come to this, but it has,” Barrett said. “It is certainly isn’t a one-off incident.”


“We have pretty much documented a lot of things over the past 12 months,” Barrett said.


“The last formal one was on the second of February, where we actually had Jackson in here with the RLPA, his manager, and our welfare officer to try and work out a plan.

“We wanted to work through some issues to avoid a situation that we have just gone through. Unfortunately, it was an issue I saw coming and we tried to address it a long time ago and it has now implicated another player (Cherry-Evans).

The RLPA... lol. They're largest collection of toothless ****s since Souths fans decided to create the burrow.

They'd be much better off confronting NRL HQ about why they puff their chests out saying player welfare is the number one priority in the nrl...yet are happy to let Manly try and play the world's most brutal sport with only 23 players compared to others 30. Why are they happy to put actual humans at risk based on some arbitrary words on paper?

But they won't do that...the rlpa are too scared about causing too much fuss in case the nrl put the rent up on their office space.

 

[midsteyne]

Maybe a fresh start over in the UK with an experienced coach like Sheens will be just what he needs.

In the words of Dr Phil,past behaviour dictates future behaviour

 

[mave]

Doing whatever it takes to get back into Manly’s FG? Almost sounds like denial.

He has reached stage 3 already ?
Well done to Jacko !!

 

[brad]

I heard your name mentioned a bit too mate.

Im sure it was .

 

[Tomay]

There's an article in the SMH this morning about all this, not sure how to put it here. Apparently Cliffy didn't know. Cliffy should be told everything!

 

[Brooke]

If the word is he doesn’t really fit in with the boys, I’m not sure if he was at the strip club.

I was hoping and thinking our captain and family man wasn't at the strip club. That's why I assumed he had to wait till 1am for Jacko to return from it, to speak with him.

 

[Frogz]

And now on the Big Sports Breakfast, Massoud is kind of sticking up for Hastings and says its poor the way DCE has handled things and DCE should come out and speak to the media. WTF have we done so wrong that every media outlet is trying to kill us at the moment and DCE in particular.
About time to hear from Penn and make a stand against these sh1tbag reporters. Ban them all.
Every other club can tip out a player and it gets reported on once, we do it and its front page for a fortnight.

 

[Loobs]

Yeah, but would you want him as a starting half in your footy team?

He is a bit of a genius. Deranged but still... on second thoughts no way he passes a drug test.

He’s also best buds with the benchmark POS Ben Barba so who knows who the real DCE is. Maybe he’s just loyal to his old buds but still, yada yada the company you keep or something...

On NRL360 last night they were banging on about how there are 2 sides to the story... the media has realised they have another chance to make DCE look bad...

God bless Cliffy, still believes that MWSE regards the Football Club as relevant.
