Jackson Hastings!!

Surely this kid gets a run of the bench now with our lack of creativity from the halves.. Comes in for setu or Manu and squeez a few more minutes out of the starting forward pack.. Hastings coming on with 20min to go in tight games would add another much needed dimension to our attack..

Hopefully Guerra is back on deck vs Tigers.

Hastings may occupy the bench/utility spot if Maubs is out injured.

Yes, give him a go, we need to establish is he just another myth, or in fact does have first grade potential, and the only way to do that is watch him perform in first grade. There are numerous kids his age or even younger playing first grade with other clubs, so lets see what he has got. On the other hand if he is in fact a dummy spiter, then piss him off, they make shit players, and just disrupt the joint.

He must be good. His name is Hastings.

I saw jt on fox last night.good interview, a lot of good philosphies and a great understanding of players. I think he is going to be one of the best coaches in the nrl, I am nervous about the wests game.

Like all of this !

Was good as bench utility at the back end of last year. Provided a lot of spark from the ruck area when aubo came off for a rest. Made an awesome linebreak against the riff.

Joey Lussick is better

Joey Lussick is better

Agree. Great versatility at half-back & hooker as well.

Joey has made a demonstrative difference to the NYC team since he debuted 4 weeks ago.
With hooker Grant Garvey returning shortly, the make-up of the U20's team is going to be interesting.
5/8 Connor Watson (Souths junior) scored a treble last week and looks good in the number 6. They'll probably leave Jackson at 7 so not to piss him off, and have Lussick coming off the bench.

How good was he last weekend?

That kid is going to be a star.

You think Garvey will get his starting spot back? I do rate him but Lussick looks a better player.

You can't drop Connor Watson. He is the perfect 6 for a dominant half like Hastings. Excellent support player, really incisive when he runs and is tough in defence. I thought it was 4 he scored on the weekend. Probably gonna be too small to ever play first grade but geez he's been impressive. A real confidence and work ethic about him.

A rose by any name would smell as sweet.

Jackson has vision. I don't care even care what he does between now and first grade the kid will make it on that alone.

It is such a rate skill in NRL players these days but those who have it rarely don't make it.

I seriously hope we lock this kid up because he's the first half I've genuinely been excited about coming through our ranks since Pearcey

.

Garvey is a myth, he is ok but not as good as some people say.
Lussick is head and shoulders over him as a player and leader.

I reality Garvey should not even make the 17.

Agree - saw both he and Hastings play last week in their gig win and Lussick was a stand out so too our 5/8
