Jackson Hastings’ departure from the Tigers was reportedly due to the Knights recruit being “hard to handle” in his time at the club amid a falling out with new coach Tim Sheens.
The Sydney Morning Herald
reported sources around the Tigers club claimed Hastings was difficult, which made a swap deal with David Klemmer in their best interests.
Hastings’ fractured relationship with the club reportedly originated from his loyalty to axed coach Michael Maguire, who was the reason he signed with the Tigers.
