Hastings was released by Manly on the 26th June. Even if the Tui deal was agreed by GH before then we still should have gone for Hastings as we desperately needed an organiser at the time and we could have signed him on short term deal as Salford did.

Poor show from GH and possibly Sinfield too as he must have been in talks with GH for some time before he started and could have suggested going for Hastings. Great player though Sinfield was I am not convinced about his management capabilities or judgement. He is the one pushing for Sutcliffe and Ferres as captain plus other 2nd rate signings.

He injured it in one of Cronullas trials couple of month ago, was out for 5 week then only played one game ror Newtown before joining us, hopefuly just a precaution.

Good stats from his debut. 15 carries, 111 metres, 23 tackles, none missed

Just saw that, for the minutes he played thats pretty impressive indeed.

He was well known for being a good defender in the NRL, missed very few tackles for a man his size.

Hopefully he can influence some of his team mates then
