Wrong. He was a smartass and showed no respect to his Roosters team mates either. Half the team didn't want to play with him there either

Being a **** seems to run in the family. This is about his mum:
------------
A Warilla real estate agent has confessed to fleecing cash from her company’s trust funds to subsidise a multimillion-dollar gambling habit.
Megan Harrod admitted to stealing from her company Harrods Real Estate between 2010 and 2012, pouring the cash into poker machines at Wests Illawarra and the Shellharbour Club.
NSW Fair Trading alleges the total amount taken was more than $1.5 million, however Harrod’s lawyer yesterday indicated she disputed that amount.
Records from both clubs, obtained by Fair Trading, revealed Harrod gambled $10.1 million on poker machines over about a seven-year period, including the years she was swindling from the company.
The records show Harrod won a combined $9.1 million during the same period.
Her fraudulent run was eventually halted by her father, Jim Harrod, who reported his daughter’s crimes to Fair Trading in early 2012.
The family has since repaid almost two-thirds of the outstanding money.
Harrod pleaded guilty in Wollongong Local Court yesterday to two charges of fraudulently converting money as a licensee, relating to $1.46 million taken from the agency’s rent trust account and $65,500 taken from the sales trust account.
It was also revealed in court yesterday that this was not Harrod’s first such offence, with the 49-year-old having previously had her real estate licence disqualified for three years for misappropriating trust account funds.
The maximum penalty for such offences is 10 years’ jail.
The court heard Harrod wove a complex web of fake transactions and falsified bank reports in order to cover her tracks.
As a director of the company who oversaw the day-to-day running of the office as well as heading up the rental department, Harrod was the sole signatory to the rent account, and shared co-signing authority with her brother on the sales account.
This access allowed Harrod to pull money out of the accounts on multiple occasions for her own use.
A set of facts tendered to the court after Harrod’s guilty plea said the 49-year-old ‘‘falsified various corporate book-keeping records’’ in order to disguise and hide the fraud.
Prosecutors said she also manipulated the company’s monthly account reconciliation in order to ‘‘give the false appearance the accounts were balanced’’.
‘‘It would appear [Harrod] may suffer from a gambling addiction, or at least come within the definition of suffering from problem gambling,’’ prosecution documents read.
‘‘It is believed [Harrod] used the misappropriated funds to finance her poker machine gambling.’’
An external manager was appointed to oversee the company in September 2012, after which Fair Trading brought in a forensic accountant to examine the books. He established that Harrod had taken a combined total of $1,534,623 from the accounts.
The court heard a compensation fund set up under legislation governing real estate agents had already paid out $327,000 of the almost $450,000 in claims it had received as a result of the fraud. The Harrod family has also repaid $982,000.
The court heard Harrod was banned in 2011 from holding a real estate licence or being involved in the real estate business for 15 years.
She was ordered to appear in Parramatta District Court on February 14 for sentencing.

Do you think Hastings is better looking than Holland?

No.
Holland is SULTRY.
He is a better half than Holland though, but obviously not in the fullback or wing role

Well Well Well .. the plot thickens.. Long article but everyone saying NO needs to read this.
Two sides to every story...

SENIOR Manly players have reportedly thrown their support behind exiled Jackson Hastings as the turmoil embroiling the club grows hotter.
The decision to banish Hastings to reserve grade after reported bust-ups with Daly Cherry-Evans, Trent Barrett and a player revolt has taken a serious turn with conflicting versions of events coming to light.
Channel Nine is reporting players including Marty Taupau, Joel Thompson, and Jorge Taufua have sent messages of support to the younger playmaker. Addin Fonua-Blake also said publicly on Thursday he remains friends with Hastings and would not have an issue playing alongside him.
It has emerged that players visited The Board Room strip club in Gladstone after Manly’s 32-20 loss to the Titans before an altercation between Cherry-Evans and Hastings.
Channel Nine reports following a verbal argument, the team captain went to Hastings’ hotel room and pushed or punched Hastings in the face, possibly with an open hand. That incident came just a week before Manly’s second big loss on the trot -- an embarrassing 38-12 defeat at home to Wests Tigers.
NRL 360 co-host Paul Kent has revealed that players are now denying they’re unwilling to play with Hastings, who has reportedly had two altercations with Cherry-Evans and walked off the training paddock after a heated confrontation with Barrett in pre-season.
Indeed, it appears the Sea Eagles face a crisis that stretches beyond the club’s public handling of the Hastings saga.
“Players are going on the record (with the Rugby League Players’ Association) saying they are willing to play and willing to train alongside him (Hastings),” Kent said. “Jackson Hastings has texts from team-mates saying I’m prepared to do this (help him). As to the actual nature of the fight and what it was over, there’s an alternative version coming out there.”
Hastings and Cherry-Evans were reportedly involved in a fight at the team hotel in Gladstone after several players returned from the strip club.
“What’s interesting is Shaun Lane was Jackson Hastings’ roommate in Gladstone and his version to the Sea Eagles, in their own internal inquiry, supports Jackson Hastings’ version,” Kent said.
“So that’s causing some angst and quite rightfully so.”
Kent added that Barrett’s decision to banish Hastings to reserve grade for the rest of the season may actually contravene the terms of Hastings’ contract.
“It’s actually in the contract that you need to be considered on your merit for first grade,” Kent said. “That’s an issue too that could also get uglier as we go down this road.”
It comes as Hastings vowed not to give up on playing again for Manly in 2018. “I’m fully committed to doing whatever it takes to get back into that first grade team,”
Hastings told Fairfax Media, answering “one hundred per cent” when asked whether he could work with Cherry-Evans.
The more pressing issue is whether the Manly No.7 is willing to work with Hastings, Barrett suggesting that ‘‘if it wasn’t Cherry, it probably was going to be someone else. It just happened to be our highest-profile player”.
A star schoolboy coming through the ranks at St George Illawarra, Hastings also had issues while at the Roosters, where he made his first grade debut in 2014 and played 34 games across three seasons.
Conceding that there had been issues around Hastings during his time at the club, Roosters coach Trent Robinson defended the livewire utility, saying that he just needed to work on his behaviour in a team environment.
“Jackson is not a bad kid, he’s just trying to work it out like everyone else,’’ Robinson said. ‘‘He obviously had some issues here at different times. Sometimes it’s easier to forgive someone when they commit a crime, say sorry and then they come back. Jackson is not a bad guy, he’s not doing anything wrong, he just needs to work on the team environment. He’s not going to misbehave, he never has, so for them to go out there and treat him that way is bad.”
...
The swipe from Robinson regarding Lodge in that final quote is beautiful.
Sounds like DCE is the problem, not Hastings.

He's from the Gong..
#putyourgongsout ??
Now... I wonder... is this a bit of a "free up cap" ploy. I mentioned it the other day, but with all this coming out and seemingly the coach and coaches bestie trying to force out Hastings, you have to wonder.
Maybe Manly want him gone to have a crack at Sezer or someone?
