We are about to sign Jackson Hastings from Manly according to some Aussie press.
He would come straight away as Manly want rid due to a bust up/fight with Dally Cherry Evans and he’s only 22 with lots to prove.
Has some bad boy in him, but so did the last very good half back we signed and he didn’t do too bad for us .....
Tricky one this. Good player, comes from a tough background, bit of a handful.
Could be a disaster, could be a great move.
Moving away from the limelight of the NRL could well be the making of him. As others have said, it wouldn’t be the first time someone with a difficult reputation has come to the Giants, and it’s often worked out well.
Worth reading some of the articles about him. Whatever else he is, he’s a really interesting bloke. And Wayne Bennett speaks very highly of him, which has to count for something.
