Who’s the POIHow many people does this bloke not get along with?
He's a halfback, maybe lacks a bit in his long kicking game but he's an organiser and talker. He likes to be on the ball, had more touches than Cleary and Hynes pretty sure.Is Hastings a 1/2 or a 5/8? I dont think he is a half. With Burton demanding to play 5/8, is he a good combo with Hastings?
I know Flanagan is not the answer, but I worry about what will develop with Hastings at 1/2.
Hastings, the premise of the story is he doesn't get along with Bateman and therefore will move on. Pretty sure he has a track record of not getting on with people.Who’s the POI

Agree 100%.It's a no brainer. He's one of the best organising halves around. Sure he's not quick, but he reads the game very well, he organises the players and lines up the runners. He simply HAS A VOICE....while Burton and Flano don't. Due to his lack of speed he can't command top halves money, but he's better than anything else out there for 23. He'd also be a great mentor to our emerging halves.
He'd have less problems than we copped with Foz.
Spin it which ever way you like he is a dud.Lol he is miles ahead of what we currently have! I agree he isn’t the marquee half everyone would like. But he is way better that our current options.
That is ancient history, if you are shopping around the Tigers now it is choc full of dudsI mean I’d of been happy with teddy and Moses.
Addo carr is from there originally.
I’d take a year with whoever the fuck replaces flopagun when he cry’s again if it means moses in 24.Not happening. Moses coming 2024
Everyone wants the gun halfback. Reality is there are only three gun halfbacks at the moment. Cleary, DCE & Hughes are the only genuine top dollar halfbacks out there.Spin it which ever way you like he is a dud.
I'd rather let the Gun see out his contract and sign a quality halfback.

Best case scenario, tigers pay some freight to free up some cap space for 23Agree 100%.
Like you mentioned, Hastings will give us a lot of things that we currently lack, organisation and a voice
How many times over the last 5 years have we looked unorganised, especially in the oppositions 20
Don't underestimate the importance of someone directing players 1 or 2 plays in advance so they know exactly what is coming
Add in Mahoney's crisper service from dummy half with better organisation and all of a sudden our tempo will go up a notch, which it needs to do
At a guess I'd say CC would be having an "informal" chat with Hastings, outlining what he needs in a number 7 and whether Hastings is that guy
I know we all want a "top class" number 7 but in reality there are only a few and even less that are available. Hastings would give us alot of things we are sorely lacking
Like another poster mentioned if we saved some $$ on getting Hastings we can put that towards a fullback or a top level forward
If CC wants him I think Gus will make it happen
He only did that for a few games tbh.He isn’t a superstar 7 but he has the perfect style and game that we need. He is an organiser, he is a natural right sided player. Good kicking game. He is so much better than anyone we have.
I have been waiting for 2024. This signing could make 2023 a much more positive season.
Make this happen GUS.
Yep Moses is our man and when his contract finishes hopefully one of our halves from the lower grades will be ready to goWe’ve literally been waiting for a class 7 and now that one’s available everyone’s having a fit and instead want a reject from the Tigers who won’t be available for half a season anyway and then there’s also the fact that he moves as fast as Gus running down the sideline.
