Newcastle Knights coach Adam O’Brien has made a bold and risky decision to drop Jackson Hastings, a key playmaker, from the NRL team following a disappointing start to the season. This move comes after the Knights suffered two consecutive losses, including a narrow defeat against the North Queensland Cowboys and a sound thrashing by the Raiders【8†source】【10†source】.
O’Brien’s decision aims to shake up the team’s dynamics and address their lack of creativity and performance on the field. Hastings, who played a significant role in the Knights’ ten-match winning streak last season, has been replaced by Jack Cogger. This change is intended to revitalize the team’s attacking options, with Cogger set to partner Tyson Gamble in the halves【8†source】.
Despite the harshness of the call, O’Brien felt it necessary to improve the team’s chances as they face the unbeaten Melbourne Storm next. The coach also expressed frustration over the team’s lack of focus and creativity in recent matches, emphasizing that effort alone is not enough to secure wins in the competitive NRL environment【9†source】【10†source】.
The decision has generated mixed reactions, with fans and analysts closely watching how the team will perform under this new setup.
