I don't want to be harsh on Hastings, I want to be harsh on the clowns who thought we'd look better with a rookie half than with a premiership winning half, of which there are countless both opposition fans and our own.
Hastings is not ready to run a first grade football side, nor should anyone expect him to be. Shallow bombs, ineffective last tackle options, hospital passes all day from both halves.
Anyone who thought we'd be better without Pearce is off their f**king head.
We will barely win a game until Pearce, JWH, and Cordner are back. If Ferguson continues at fullback we might not win a single one.
Biggest test of Robinson's coaching career right here.
