Trent Robinson indicates Jackson Hastings will leave Sydney Roosters

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has indicated out-of-favour playmaker Jackson Hastings is set to leave the Tricolours after the NRL season.
Still contracted for 2017, Hastings, son of Roosters great Kevin, appeared to have a big future at the Roosters after the club opted not to re-sign James Maloney at the end of last year.
The Roosters had backed Hastings to be a long-term halves partner to Mitchell Pearce.
But Hastings has been in and out of Robinson's under-performing side this season and spent the last month languishing in the under-20s, with Robinson preferring fellow youngster Connor Watson at five eighth alongside Pearce.

"Jackson is playing 20s. He has been playing well. He is still spending time with us but we made a decision to have a look at Connor (Watson) at five-eighth and to see how he can play in that position," Robinson said on Wednesday.
"I have been happy with Connor. I am still talking to Jackson about his game and watching his game.
"We will decide week-to-week on what we need but at the moment we feel Connor is our best option there."
The Roosters have recruited South Sydney premiership winning five-eighth Luke Keary for next season.
As a result Robinson said Hastings' future at the club was under discussion.
"That is stuff that we are discussing with Jackson and his manager. He knows where the lay of the land is with us. He is still contracted for next year," Robinson said.
"It is tough as far as the position goes but he is a quality player and he will have a future in the NRL.
"We recruited Luke to play as a five-eighth and for Connor next year it will be a utility role (to start with) and hopefully he will push his way into a starting role."
Hastings has been linked to a return to his former club St George Illawarra.

Tie yourself to the mast of that sinking ship known as Mitchell Pearce, Trent. He'll drown you like Chris Anderson, Brad Fittler and Brian Smith before you.

The time bomb just started ticking.

I don't like that it sounds like Robbo has already pre-determined ideas about 2017, if Watson outperforms Keary over the offseason he should be starting at 6, it shouldn't come down to pay or seniority.

I'd say the coach has lost it. What's the line about some batsmen, he's a flat track bully. He did wonderfully well when Sonny Bill was playing for pay and when Maloney carried the necrotic hand we call a halfback but now's he's not got that Felix the Cat style bag of tricks he's been found out.

I think its pretty obvious that Watson is not in the same league as Keary at this stage of his career. He has no kicking game and a limited passing game. He's perfectly suited to that Craig Wing-type bench role which will give him game experience and allow him time to work on his game.

Considering the lack of experience in this side I don't think Watson stands a chance of being a starting 5/8 next year. I don't like keary. But he's won a premiership. He's played finals. He knows how to win. That alone will be invaluable.

[Bigchook]

More disappointed that Connor will get the utility gig over nikorima.

[Bansai Pipeline]

I don't think Robbo can recover from this season, at least not at this club.

I know that sounds melodramatic for a coach who won a premiership and two minor premierships in his first 3 seasons, but this year really has been a travesty.

To finish with only 3 wins - which I think we will - is indefensible.

He'll go the way of Stuart, only the board won't give him as much time as Ricky had.

I give him until the end of next season.

That's the same amount of time Sticky had dude...

[Lydon]

Poor Robbo,his blind love for Pearce and refusal to move him along will see the death of him at our Club..

[Mickie Lane]

Even if next season is like this season Robbo will still remain till his contract is up, that's the mail I got.
But I cant see next season being like this season.

[Mickie Lane]

More disappointed that Connor will get the utility gig over nikorima.

I know you are a big fan of Nikorima's but I'm sure either the Roosters will release him or he will ask for a release.
Ive said it before, Nikorima wont play FG for the Roosters again. I dont see a future for him at the club just my opinion.

I have no doubt Jackson will be moved on at seasons end.

That's the same amount of time Sticky had dude...

Sticky and robbo both got us the highest prize each, sticky never got us close to getting the wooden spoon.

[PeeGee]

Just saw a quick cut of an interview with Robbo talking about Friend. Made me puke. He judges Friend only by his tackle numbers and said he's really grown as a leader. Fark that. Robbo better wake up and be more willing to shake things up or he's goneski. More heart brake headed our way in 2017 and some big losses coming in rest of 2016.
Broncos are gonna kill us tomorrow night. Copley back at centre, boyds gonna have a field day.
