@tiger5150 I would like to see 13. Hastings 7 Moses 6 Brooks

@garry like a Dylan Brown ?

@tiger5150 exactly, 2024 replace him with Moses, Dylan Brown or whoever but 2023 he stays

@avocadoontoast should clarify he didn't but a family member did mid season that he was looking forward to Sheens in 2023. Think he may well leave ...

@avocadoontoast I think he may well stay beyond 2023, he is a Sheens fan

@avocadoontoast No

@avocadoontoast I think if Sheens sees Hastings as the 7 long-term then release Brooks but I don't think he does. Given that is the case we keep Brook...
