Jackson Hastings is Pearce 2.0

[roostersrule2]

Hastings is a bit like Pearce, maybe with like a quarter of the talent, both footy wise and drinking wise.

 

[RedVDragon]

Didn't you read the article? It said he was knock back by Melbourne.

I did. I can understand you questioning me as the intelligence of broncos supporters is low.

Hastings is nothing like Pearce. Hastings is a completely unique individual.
His "uniqueness" is his downfall

Sorry it wasn't meant as a swipe at you. I didn't know from your orignal comment that you meant the Storm would of have been a better situation for Hastings and it was a shame they didn't want him. I misinterpreted your comment, and thought you might have been blaming Hastings for not choosing the Storm.

I used to hate Hastings when he was a Rooster and thought he was shit.

Now he is at Manly love him, and seriously think he will push for a Aussie jersey, probably for the ANZAC Test.

A-Grade flog apparently... at home at Manly

Jonathon thurston didn't nail down a first grade spot until he was almost 22 at the Cowboys in 2005
Cooper cronk didn't become regular halfback until he was 22 at the storm Ben Hunt wasn't considered much until his breakout 2014 when he was 24
Micheal Morgan become a rep quality half at 23 in 2015 (although he had a good season in 2014 at fullback)
Daly Cherry-evans didn't even debut in the nrl until he was 22 in 2011
Adam reynolds was almost 22 when he debuted for souths in 2012
James maloney was in his mid 20s when he had a breakout season with the Warriors in 2011

Just to put things in perspective Hastings has just turned 20

22

The avenue

That's the place where we all goooooo

All good davi hope you had a great Christmas.

At a young age its really hard to pick what path any career is going to take. For every Thurston or Cronk you have a dozen more who went the other way.

Cleary and Taylor look the two best young halves right now. But they could very easily go the way of a player like Tim Smith or Daniel Mortimer and never kick on. Theres several future superstars every year that dont kick on. Even after a terrific debut or even a great first season.

I think Hastings has hit his ceiling. But he's still plenty young enough that he can kick on and reach his potential. He will probably end up being more like Josh McCrone under a shit coach. But if he had gone to a Bennett or Bellamy he could have been a terrific half IMO.

I have never understood the hype with this guy. He must be good at training because I have not seen him deliver on the pitch. All he can do is kick a bomb really high in the air.

 

[RedVDragon]

Hastings was a great junior at the dragons. He ran the ball well kicked goals and his general kicking game was excellent. He went to those Rorters which subsequently resulted in his game deteriorating because the salary cap Rorters wanted him to be a ball distributor and run side wards rather than running at the line.

I hope the kid can become the player he was meant to be and get rid of his Rorters tag once and for all as he is better than what we have seen of him over the past years.

He is much better than puppy dog Pearce. Daddy has helped Pearce, Jacksons Dad has allowed his son to make it on his own.

 

[kbw]

Red V he can't have been too good at the Dragqueens, if he was at least mediocre they would have kept him because he would have been streets ahead of what you have now

Bullshit no one with half a f**king clue coaches a young half to run sideways. Connor Watson was running straight at the line when he got a chance, maybe Hastings is scared??

Exactly, he never does anything but catch, pass, kick and talk shit to players who have done a f**k load more than him in the game. Plus he has that Pearce vision, you know where he couldn't spot a 3 man overlap if they all walked up and blew a load in his face.

lol you have no clue what you are talking about.

Hastings thrived in a well oiled machine in 2015 as a bench utility which had many, including myself hoping that he would be a long term half option. He was thrown in to the cauldron, no doubt, in 2016 with the start we had but he didn't excel at all.

Jack bird says hi.

 

[RedVDragon]

Oh no we has some upset imbeciles who dont have a clue about the game making comments. Lets say 5 out of the 1000 Rorters rent a crowd have an opinion wow. Did you all get your view from the rorters salary cap manual. Go away you have no idea.

All you said was "he was good at the dragons the roosters wrecked him!" haha yeah you really killed with your in depth knowledge. There are plenty of good juniors who turn out to be shit first graders.

Oh and Hastings made it on his own did he? As soon as he got a little hype and didn't get gifted a spot at the dragons he ran away to Daddys old club and was gifted a spot on the bench at 18 and by time he was 20 no one wanted to touch him, even his old club where he had been such a great junior didn't want him and they are desperate for a good half.

Go away rent a crowd. The fact is Uncle Nick quoted there will be no player with the name Hastings playing for any other club than the rorters. Funny that I thought Uncle Nick was a loyal man to his inner sanctum. Dragons wanted to keep Jackson, unfortunately there are other factors that contributed to Jackson leaving the Dragons and it smelt money.

Yes rorters did wreck him not that you would know you rent a crowed so you wouldnt have a clue about the game, the rules nor your players.

No go away loser.

RedVDragon it's obvious your very upset about how shit your club is on and off the field. Since becoming Illawarra you've only won 1 comp and now lost all your money the NRL gave you for merging.

Lets face it your broke off the field, having to ask the NRL for more money as you play in front of 7000 people at your run down park in kograh losing most weeks. You should love us, only time you get a crowd is against us at a stadium on Anzac Day.

On the field your crap and not looking like getting any better. At least our club has hope for a better year. Bring on Anzac Day 2017, lets hope your players don't lay down to get penalties and ruin the game like they have the last few..
