The arrogant little prick would probably spend his time sledging Norman that he would make a better sex tape then him

[QUO="hineyrulz, post: 11647114, member: 12671"]Hastings has massive upside, could even play dummy half and can kick goals.

Might need an attitude adjustment but I'm sure BA can set him straight.[/QUOTE]
Not wishing to be argumentative here but dare I say like BA sorted out attitude issues with Hayne, Foran, Semi and Norman? Oops almost forgot Sandow.

Yeah. The players who've had problems in the past and have sorted themselves out deserve the credit. Very little to do with BA IMO. Same as the ones you mentioned.

BA is a great coach and an outstanding motivator but I dont think he tolerates poor attitudes and wluld rather move them on than mollycoddle them. There were also rumour about Peats attitude. For this reason Id be very surprised if he would have Hayne back.

Wayne Bennett has had some absolute f**kwits on his teams over the years it hasn't seemed to affect him succeed.

Justin Hodges and Darrrwuis Boyd are in the true f**kwit category.
Hodges was a f**kwit kid - bennett was happy to drop him when he chased $s ... he didnt reform him, he just took him back when he grew up n admitted his errors and decided to fit in

Boyd has never been a problem within his club - he's just a bit of a merkin

Hastings bad attitude is more that he is a bit "cocky" and is very confident in his own ability, which can rub people the wrong way.

He probably has/ or has, had people telling him how f**ken great he will be since under 10's or so, along with a champion dad.

It's not that he causes trouble or is a bad drunk or anything. Or doesn't put effort into training.

If anything it's probably an OK attribute to have as a half. Probably just needs a bit of a good man manager like BA to put him in his place.

Gee I hope we get him, look at what BA has done for Norman, Hastings is potentially a better player ( not saying he is)

i reckon Newcastle fans might disagree, Hodges was always a complete f**kwit but just such a great player it didn't matter how he behaved. Always behaved like a deadshit on the field.

I dont think top coaches are in the business of reforming bad attitudes. I guess a player can have issues but once he crosses the white line its all business. Possibly Boyd and Norman fit this category.

Being a smartass merkin prick towards opposition players isnt the type of problem zttitude we are talking about .... we are talking about being trouble amongst your own team or in public ... hodges was never that

And boyd was only a problem when he had moved on (mentally) ... don' get me wrong i think he's a dick, but when his mind is switched on he's always good for his team

True, we will never really know unless we are involved with the club.

Is Hastings attitude that bad???? He's still a 20 year old kid, he may be arrogant but there's nothing wrong with that if you are good enough. He could well be good enough, he looked a much better player with Maloney beside him. He has struggled being the main man but he is still just 20. Him and Norman could be an excellent combo IMO.

Some have posted here that he's a sledger with a massive chip on his shoulders and even has a go at his own teammates.
