the thing with having screws in your leg is you can go weeks with no issue and then wake up one day and struggle with pain because of it. its suprising he didnt opt to have all the hardware removed, which is a common second surgery for athletes.

I’d like to see him improve his general play kicking. While not terrible, I feel like it’s inevitably an end over end, not overly high, not overly deep and our kick chase either is a bit slow getting there or the kick doesn’t give us enough time to get there.
Surely we can get him a copy of Joey’s VHS and footy detailing how to kick a torpedo.

Hastings has caught the AOB bug. Or the kiss bug. Stale, boring kicking, leads to stale boring footy. 
the plate would now be fused to the bone because its been left so long, it can be removed but would now be a longer recovery as opposed to a walk in walk out removal. the plus side is it wont ever snap there again.

After reading this
I think Hastings is retiring end of season
It's a shame felt he lifted other players and was a great leader
Thanks for that, I was just searching for news on him and couldn’t find anything.
Unfortunately when he went down and didn’t return after halftime I had the same feeling, that that might be the last we see of him.

Looks like Cogger won't be In the reserves next year...
I'm actually bummed out for Hastings.

Yeah the tackle I saw it made both ankles hit each other
I thought Hastings would be a good fit for knights long term
Wish we didn't release Clune
Prefer a gamble and clune partnership than a cogger and gamble

Am I missing something? Where is it implied in that article that retirement is even in consideration?
“I’ll let people know more at the end of the year. There’s a bit going on there so I don’t really want to give too much away yet.
“It’s no secret that I’ve struggled with it ever since the surgery. The hip drop didn’t help four weeks ago, and then I got a nice whack on it again today.

Maybe the club should invest the money to fly Hastings to wherever the world leading expert is for this type of injury. Help him get his leg right longterm, like they are doing for Brailey.

I was thinking the same. Sounds like a massive leap to me.
Good news.
He did also say on a podcast that his ability to keep playing was under question from the original broken ankle, didn’t he? So I think that’s why people are a bit concerned.

I interpreted it as “there’s something pretty serious going on with the leg that I’d love to tell you about, but can’t risk it becoming public knowledge until the season is over, because it could be used against me”.
Seemed a pretty innocuous incident to cause him to be ruled out. Either he wasn’t 100% and the knock just reignited it. Or, as he says, it got him on a screw and maybe triggered a nerve or some pain. If it’s the latter, he probably needs some surgery to address it/remove hardware or adjust screws or something.
Either way, I think his season is done. I don’t think we can carry the risk into any of the other games we may or may not have left. Thankfully Gamble and Mann did very well to cover.
