Hastings

[Salvatori Grubber]

Good photo, hope the rumours of unhappiness at the club was just speculation.

Thought there would be a heap of father son combos starting to come from some of the great players from late 70,80s. Sterlo, kenny, lewis, meninga, and many more.

From memory, chooks seem to have a few more than other clubs i can think of off the top of my head, with ryan cross, mullins, hastings all having their dads play, while pearce, although Wayne didn't play for us, still came from a classy group from the 80s.

It is a rare thing, be nice if Freddie and SBW's partners can give birth to twin boys, so in 2036 we can get some more.

Ricketson Sr and Jr, plus MacKay Sr. and Jr.

There's an interesting article in the SMH today about Ethan O'Neill, son of Julian O'Neill. He's in the Roosters development system and being mentored by Jack Elsegood. Just selected in the Queensland junior representative squad.

and while there are the amusing comments that this has spawned, Ethan is a damn fine kid and a good footballer. Adrian Lam has had a fair bit to do with him as well.
After reading the article its digusting that this sort of crap gets printed in the paper

Hastings has got a little bit of grub in him but it's born out of passion, so long as he toes the line and doesn't cross it too often I love it. Jared is someone who's learned how to toe the line, he overstepped a lot in his youth and it was frustrating but it was done out of passion and love for the game and our club so I can always forgive that. Morley had that passion too and we always managed to forgive him when he overstepped.

It's when being a grub defines you and you don't know where the line is anymore that it becomes an issue for me ala Josh Reynolds.

Jackson obviously has a long history with our club and he grew up supporting us so theres a lot of emotion there, embrace it, it's such a rare part of our game in club footy land as Milanja and I were only discussing a few days ago.

I love seeing stuff like this;

I reckon horrie could still play 80 minutes today. That is how freakishly fit he is, easily the most naturally fit athlete I have ever seen.If SOH has learnt a few things from his old man, he could be a superstar.
