Barrett is a real piece of work. he pulls a press conference and throws the kid under a bus. Then he says that he is worried about him because he has been run over by a bus. However he is not man enough to tell the press or us the true story of what happened up at Gladstone instead he leaves a bad smelling stench around Hastings. I'm not surprised Hastings is considering legal action to clear his name because his career depends on it.
You're kidding arn't you, how was he thrown under a bus by Barrett?.
These events are obviously a culmination of many months of problems with Hastings, it didn't just happen after the Gladstone game, back in February they sought counseling for him, and if he's not fitting into the team program doesn't Barrett have the right not to play him?.
All the journalists that have interviewed Hastings say that he comes across as a decent young man, who has done nothing wrong, however if he does have a personality disorder that won't come through on a one to one interview, even Jeffry Dahmer would appear normal one to one.
However the Manly Club is now portrayed by idiots like Rothfield as Cee U Next Tuesdays, without knowing the other side of the story, which at this point in time they are not prepared to divulge,and I imagine the same story was at the Roosters as well.
I feel sorry for DCE, who is a thoroughly decent guy, who I think is only protecting his coach in this matter and has become cannon fodder for those vulture journalists.
His only crime was to backflip on a contract, just like many others before him, however no one talks about them.
