[Resurrected] Jackson Hastings

[frank stokes]

History repeating for young Jackson and apparently the reporting of him 'reflecting' and 'changing' and yada-yada-yada in England were somewhat over-egged as Bateman is bringing a previous beef with him... Jackson seems to always fall-out with the better players and leaders in the group - over-inflated sense of self-importance?

I’m not questioning whether he has an issue with Bateman or not,but the rumours of Hastings potentially being shipped out by the Tigers,were around long before Bateman was being chased.

Agreed but I thought they were related to the tigpies wanting to keep Brooks tho and the fact that he has been playing lock...
Jackson needs to start having barneys with blokes that are worse football players than him...

 

[Woodsie]

Brooks is on $1,2 million next year ... pretty sure they would want to get rid of him before Hastings.

 

[DSM5]

$1.2 million! That's just absolute stupidity. unbelievable.

 

[madmax]

Yeah must be , no other valid reason really as his firm was excellent.

Apparently he & Bateman have history & do not get on….hence the reason Tigers are looking to offload him!

They probably would but no one wants to take him unless the Tigers take the majority of the financial load

Newcastle want him ... and would probably pay about a million I would guess ... ist grade halfs don't come cheap if you're desperate ..

$1M for Brooks is pretty bloody desperate... even if Joey Johns still thinks he is a gun...

...and yet it is Jackson being shown the door...
seems it is always Jackson being shown the door...

Not yet ...

 

[Under the Sticks]

Both Brooks and Jackson will go from the Tigpies in 2024 as they team up Douehi with a returning Mitchell Moses.

CONFIRMED: Hastings to Newcastle on 3 Year Deal, effective immediately.

 

[manlyfan76]

So Ponga stays at FB and does not tackle for the next two years.

 

[ALinda]

I hope Hastings goes well at the Knights and is able to use his footy talent to full effect. It's about time he settled down...

I think Hasting is pretty ordinary actually. He would only do well in a good team where he can play a supporting role. He will never be the top guy.
I remember watching games last year where he had his hands on the ball every second play and had absolutely no impact.
Brooks isn’t much better, but at least if he picks his spots he has more upside IMHO.

I think his interaction with fans and perceived enthusiasm for the club he plays for,masked his actual ability.He’s loved in the media because he’s not afraid to speak his mind so nobody really assesses his play

 

[47MVEagle]

I reckon he's a better lock than halfback or 5/8th

Agree, everyone went ape s... over Hastings when Tigpies got those 2 wins with Hastings playing a big part in it. Wasn't it 2 golden point wins with Hastings slotting the winning field goals, I could be wrong... He traded on this for some time time before the Broncs ended his season. Then after that, it all went north quickly.

Jackson dropped for Cogger this week but took it well… refused to train with reserves, got in his car and went home…

Brent Read reports:
“He said ‘No, I’m done, I’m going home’. It wasn’t a dummy spit, please don’t misinterpret that, he was given the option and just didn’t want to be involved.”

What’s to misinterpret? 😂😂😂
