For anyone bagging Hastings saying all he does is point and isn't fast enough. That attitude is half the reason this club sucks. Watch the good halfbacks, they never stop talking and demand the team execute the plays. Hastings isnt the best half by a long shot but shows more class than anyone on our current squad. I'd rather have a half that barks and leads his team around the park, rather than a half back thats supposedly fast but isn't smart enough for the NRL and doesn't have any confidence to grab this team by the balls and orchestrate attacking plays for 80mins.
As far as I'm concerned we let the wrong halfback go and we really needed a strong leader in at 7 yesterday.
Hastings may have hit Tommy in the face, but there was no malice in it and he was doing everything he could to stop a try.
Hastings also had the decency to try to apologise to Tommy after the game which most players wouldn't do.
We need to explore getting a new halfback now.
