We are/or should be looking for a new hooker. What about Hastings from Manly? He'll come cheap, has good skills, a very good goal kicker and is a good tackler. Apparently he is not the decisive player he was made out to be in the press, DCE was the problem. He has to be better than what we have wouldn't he?

Maybe for minimum wage. He is talented but his relationships with other players seem dysfunctional. He had the same problem at the roosters.
Pops I initially baulked at the idea of making an offer to him, I think he's too good a player to languish in ISP, but if signed, I would think it would need to have clauses regarding his behaviour. Considering we have players with issues in the past, more so with gaol time, Hastings I don't think has had that. He would be far better off in a club that has a better caring nature about it than over on the peninsular.
Outside of that, bringing him here may cause some angst with players who are part of our system and worth keeping, such as Salmon and Mahoney, although he could be great backup in 6, 7 and 9 spots. Only 22 now so has some growing up to do.
Thing also is that he is off contract end of this year with Manly, if he came with Manly paying the majority of his wages, and told he is on trial only, along with options in the eels favour would not be too bad.
If the rooster and st George and Manly cant fix him well I pass
And Will seems to get on with everyone in our side.
per year. Don’t think he will take a massive pay cut and will head overseas.
I realise I might be jumping to conclusions and reading into things too much but listening to the press conference it's clear this bloke has some mental health problems to overcome.
