Agree, Hastings isn’t your top tier half-back, but he is a genuine half and he will be able to steer us around and let Burton do his thing…
As a fan, Flanno is just short of where he needs to be though it’s noticeable he’s digging into the line a little more and is handling the ball more, but it’s still well short of the target state. Averillo, Wakeham and BBO hasn’t worked out in that role but I’d like to give BBO a final opportunity at some point to prove himself - Avo is sorted at #1.
Hastings gives you immediate direction and leadership, I think that may spring Gould’s interest in him, but if Moses is available, that’s an astute signing, top shelf half.
Some people think we need superstars in every position, it's not feasible and combinations work better, I am happy for Hastings to be our 7 the perfect link, I probably shock some people I think he could become a perfect captain, importantly if Gus believes in him who are we to argue ?Hastings is a massive upgrade.
He is a vocal organising half. Who moves the team effectively around the park.
He is not in the same level yet but I think would be similar to the kind of direction and impact chad Townsend and Reynolds have had with cowboys and broncos.
We need a strong dominant 7.
