I disagree. From all the Salford games ive seen, he has been the least dangerous of their two half backs. The other guy who played 6 always looked far more dangerous and harder to defend against to
This is a joke, right?
Danny Orr was ripping it up at Castleford yet when he came to Wigan he was poor and made no impact. Its not unreasonable to worry if Hastings could suffer the same fate.
He wasn’t ripping it up in any sense of the phrase. He was a decent HB, nothing more nothing less. Comparing Hastings to Orr is quite simply embarrassing.
Playing for GB was his first real big test and IMO he failed. The other week, you was championing Bennett and now you are blaming him for Hastings poor showing? Make your mind up.
His first real test was the GF. He was brilliant in that game. I said WB had moved England on from McNamara. I said he is a proven coach whilst also conceding that his time may well be up as GB and England coach. I certainly did not “champion” him, simply debate your point which was that England hadn’t gone any farther on. That point still stands, after all this is GB and NOT England. I have already said on another thread what I expect, and should, happen post this tour. You’re reading what you want to read. As usual.
And on the topic of usual; you’ve posted another load of drivel.
