[Resurrected] Jackson Hastings

[Chip and Chase]

Just ran into rambo gibbs in Newcastle we're im staying like 10 minutes ago . I jumped out of the ss and said to my wife " fuchc me thats rambo " So 10 minutes later yacking to him , i asked him how does he think we will fair come seasons end , definitely make finals , playing well ,and even surprised him how well they are going . He said they are a happy bunch and dce is thriving. He was not happy about the great tooves sacking but said barrett is a real good bloke and coach . I told him he could still play he's that fit and he said i need spec savers. A great buzz..

Did you ask him how he got the nickname Rambo ??

 

[brad]

I hope you threw yourself across any mud puddles in his path Brad.....
Oh hail the great man !!!

Not quite, but i left the misses talking to herself.

Yer he knocked back the main part in the movie , so stalone picked it up.

 

[wombatgc]

Ok....ok....ok......

If it makes everyone happy, I went in and deleted the fake bit about Jackson leaving.

HAPPY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

If it's that easy any chance you can replace Donald Trump with Tom Hanks?

Haha, I knew Terry would be all over that!lol

In all honesty without asking him , id say the name rambo being his nickname is because he is one muscly buggar.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

He was nicknamed Rambo because of his fearless style in attack and defence.

 

[Shoe1]

He was a huge fan of Rimbaud's poetry.

 

[brad]

If Hastings comes in for Green then where does that leave Tom Wright? Would love Hastings in the halves but I wouldn't want to lost Wright either. He seems like a future gun. I guess a problem of plenty is better than a problem of too few.

Thats it mate 23 doesn't go into 17.

 

[Shoe1]

Do we only want 1 good player in each position?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Someone's gotta fight the good fight.

You're doing your best but he's not exactly making it easy for you!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Each to his own. Me, I choose to believe fake news, lol

Back to Brad
That man...Rambo
From an Easts centre who would jam in and kill a player 100 mph
Went to a legend 2nd rower at Manly...tough as nails.
At Manly, seen him against Dragons hit hard and on the ground crawled 15 metres upfield with players on his back!!
Bloke was an absolute champion.
Another game at Redfern, took a chip through on the full for 1 of the best Manly tries of all time.

 

[manly al]

You beat me to mention that almost freakish try from Rambo Gibbs , Maxta. - at Redfern , and it wa 1987 and Manly were actually under pressure up to that point. Rambo and Crusher Cleal - two converted centres from the roosters and what a dynamic pair of second rowers when they were together with Manly. On the Hastings discussion , next year will probably be the determining time for settling on a future half's pairing for D C E , as Hastings , Green and Tom Wright are all of contract at the same time . Perhaps Hastings and Wright will be the priorities then.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

I'd have him at 6 in front of Green.

No bro green is developing a good kicking game.Especially at getting repeated sets.

I know Wright was on the nose with the coaching staff at the beginning of the season and was told to lift his game; he did. He has been excellent. In saying that, one must remember that Hastings was a standout at every level throughout the juniors and is a fantastic goal kicker. He debut in FG at the age of 18 for the defending premiers.

Tom Wright has improved, but Hastings is only a year older and considered by most rugby league experts to be a serious prospect. We don't know how Wright will turn out, especially given that he only recently took up Rugby League.

I'd be more concerned with potentially losing Hastings than I would Tom Wright. But I take your point and who knows what the future holds.

 

[brad]

When hastings came to manly i thought this is great , experience in finals , great kicking game , goal kicker , can slot in at 1, 6 or 7 . I hope this is one player that we dont let slip away.

Completely agree RE Hastings. Neither of them are players that I'd like the club to lose. Tom is a future superstar in my opinion. I'd think he'd be groomed to take off from somewhere in the 17 and move into DCEs role once he moves off but understand if he wants to move elsewhere.
