Keary would be a major step forward in our planning. He has a wealth of first grade experience including a grand final and is still young. He is a good organiser, has a great kicking game compared to Widdop and he can actually run the ball and make a break.

Hastings is still to my mind unproven and need a lot more development which he wouldn't get a the Dragons.

We shouldn't be concerned with the money and going for the cheap options...quality is more important and he is the best available for our purpose.

Keary is a no brainer!!...whether it happens is still to be seen. I would love to get him this season if that were possible.

Hastings would never come back he left on not great terms maybe he has matured as when he was at the club he was an utter dickhead.

I'm sick of these long winded, drawn out "is he signing, is he not signing" scenarios. Let's just sign a freaking player who wants to play for us with a passion. Money has destroyed this game.
The team with the best accountants wins.

p.s. no way to hastings. Hasn't proven himself but seems to have an ego.

I remember most on here, went into meltdown when he went to the Roosters. They outbid us and he bolted quicker than a dodgy tradesman...
He is still very young and maybe he got rushed into FG, and into horror season start, including huge responsibility leading the team around...

TBH if we had both Hastings & Keary as 1/2's, with a decent coach they could be a cracking combination in time.

As I said in an earlier post Hastings will end up a hooker as he is not quick enough to be a high quality half.

He is also suffering from poor coaching as his last tackle high kick options must be sanctioned by the coach and they are appalling.

Forget Hastings he shunned us once and would not have his heart in it.The one that is really pissing me off is Jack Bird and the fact that our recruiting powers messed this one up Big time.

No it is just showing the problems with bringing in 18-19 yr old halves who aren't ready like everyone here wants to do with every half that shows potential.

How is he supposed to develop the rest of his game when he's given a simplified game plan because that is all he can do?

With respect mate, have to disagree.

Sure the coach might give them the set moves to execute, but its up to the halves to have the vision and smarts to know which one based on what they see in front of them. Run, kick or pass. The great ones (JT, Cronk etc) always pick the right option and execute accordingly.

Hastings most likely just needs more experience. Robinson's won the last 3 minor premierships, doubt he is the issue.

But as I've said a million times, if your players don't have it, you won't win no matter how good a coach you are.

He's had an absolute gun team at his disposal yet Roosters have won 2 of their last six semi finals and now 2 from 11 regular season games for 2016 (albeit in a so-called rebuilding year).

I actually think he is an issue and will go the same way as Ricky Stuart.
