Human behavior is complex and not always easy to understand, so it's important to give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he performs with the Newcastle Knights. Here's hoping he can make a positive impact on the team and help them achieve success on the field

Yeah passing up on the opportunity to offload him to the Knights last season is up there with signing Mbye on a massive contract as dumbest moves of the last decade. That one forward from the Storm was a pretty bad signing too though. Can't even remember his name, but got in the punch-up with Glenn Stewart on the sideline.

Well done...it's sleep deprivation, you give less of a shit about stuff and just want it to be done.

I see what you mean, this makes sense. Perhaps it would help if you wrote a jingle about Jackson Hastings, for our forum.

No other changes for either team.

I have absolutely no evidence for this, but my theory is that Hastings might be slightly neurodivergent  - seems like he struggles with interpersonal skills, and in a very structured and homogeneous culture like a football team I can see that could very quickly snowball into being ostracized.

Seems that in footy you can be the blokey, larger than life extrovert, or a quiet follower, but if you step out of your lane you're "not a good fit" or "not buying into the culture we're building"

Again - amateur psychoanalysis from a distance. Take with a Hopgood-as-captain level of salt.
