I remember a game last season when we were behind and he was running in at 9 throwing powell out the way and then taking drives up on the 2nd and 3rd play trying to make yards. It's all about balance for me which your blake greens, Williams, barretts, deacons etc all had. Sorry for the negatives guys but I'll be glad when hes gone and we can have a HB at 6 we can build around for a few years rather than 1 year at a time!
Yeah top players taking things into their own hands to try and get their team back In it are the worst
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

You're entitled to your opinion Rennox, but that's just 1 game out of a season you refer to, because his influence, balance and timing that he brings to the team would be a much more coherent viewpoint on his overall performances. His partnership with Tommy is one reason for our success last season, not to mention his combining with Bevan French.
Unfortunately, some stars do have a larger than life persona, we've had ours in the past, but their gameday ability is always the most important part of their contribution.

Hastings is coming back.

He was turned away at the airport yesterday as he hadn't got permission to leave Aus but as soon as he does he will be back.

I’ve heard that there was a ‘technicality’ yesterday!
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

To leave australia you need excemption paperwork.

This is unusual so i dont blame the lad. It inst normal to have to have paperwork to leave a country, you normally need it to get back in. I blame the club / his manager for not keeping him abreast of what the latest rules are.

Rugby players arnt known for their brains, and lets face it you almost have to be a rocket scientist to keep up to date wit hall the different rule changes these days

Is it just him or for him and a Bevan?

Are you joking? He’s a grown adult.

It isn’t hard to have a bit of common sense and some quick Googling.
