Would anyone be keen on Jackson Hastings ? If the Jack deal goes pear shaped ?

I think he could be worth a punt in the event that Jack leaves or George doesn't work out - kid's still only 23.

No one doubts his football potential, but he is a huge risk to our culture, which make no mistake, is one of, if not the most important contributing factors as to why weve had the success we had. Its no coincidence that stick has said that this is the tightest group of players that he has ever coached. Problem with Hastings is that at 2 nrl clubs he has caused major problems for the playing group. That doesnt mean to say he hasn't changed, only that its a big risk and a risk we dont need to take

I understand it's a risk, he didn't get along with DCE that makes him alright in my book.

I'd be fine with Hastings for 2021 if we had to. Reportedly done a lot of "growing" as a person this year. If he has another good year in 2020 it's fair to say he has turned a corner.

Obviously pending the costs, but yeah Jackson Hastings would be one of those high upside back up halves that might be worth taking a punt on if you can get him for that price range we've been talking about elsewhere. Or a little more if things go south with Wighton or George

No doubting his talent and this team feels like it's got a culture right now that can take a guy like him and turn it around.

The baggage thing has always been the worry with Hastings, but he seems to have grown up a bit over there. I tend to think, at the right price, he would be a steal.

He won't go anywhere to play back up though.

If we lose Wighton, he'll be an option to consider- one loose cannon for another.

Agree. I never meant him as a backup. If he's coming it's as a starter or he's not coming.

If Hastings backs up the year he's just had with Salford at Wigan next year, then by the time he's next off contract he'll be getting a starting gig at an NRL team.

Forgot he replaced George.
Well, he is at Wigan, so that only leaves 1 place for him to end up... here

Out of work: It’s November 1, and these are the NRL players who don’t have a job: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... 549db21d84

Anyone here tickle our fancy for a bit of extra squad depth?

I could have sworn that Joel Thompson was extended by Manly and Isaac Luke also got a gig somewhere. Didn't look at the rest.

Some of those guys are already locked up or as good as (thommo and glenn).
The rest I really can't see how any fit into our squad. With Joey staying we could do with a min wage back but we could just look at our current roster for that.

I think the 1st November deadline means they're not contracted for 2021 and clubs can approach them now, doesn't it?

So that article's weird then. Surely it means they're out of a job for 2021?

Yeah, but why do they specifically say in the article: "The November 1 contract cut-off is finally here. And while that might be good news for NRL clubs and agents looking to take advantage of the free agent feeding frenzy, it also means many footballers are officially unemployed."??

If these guys are out of contract right now, then they were available to buy BEFORE the "November 1 cut-off", surely??

Yes. That’s why any player not contracted for 2020 is now “out of a job”.

Players off contract end 2020 can now negotiate freely for 2021.

Wouldn't mind having a play at Brian To'o... would be awesome outside BJ now Rapa has gone.

And so why were agents waiting until the 1st November to be able to bid for their services when they've been able to for 12 months now??

So that list is really the dross from 2019 season hoping against hope that they can wrangle another contract before they have to drop their sights to lower grades or ERL. I didn't see any names that I thought would improve our squad.
