Jackson Hastings was taken down in a hip-drop tackle, which put an end to Newcastle’s convincing victory.
Coach Adam O’Brien is concerned that Jackson Hastings may not be able to play for Newcastle in the finals due to a suspected syndesmosis injury sustained during the team’s 42-6 thumping of Canterbury.
Midway through the first half on Sunday, Hastings collapsed in pain following a hip-drop tackle by Bulldogs rookie Jacob Preston, who has since accepted an early guilty plea and been suspended for two games.

This is the second time in as many years that a hip-drop tackle has caused an injury to a Hastings player. Hastings’ season was ended by Broncos forward Pat Carrigan last year with a hip-drop tackle, for which he was suspended for four games.
While walking off the field at McDonald Jones Stadium without the need for assistance, Hastings was limping and spent the rest of the game wearing ice on his right ankle, followed by a moon boot.
It doesn’t seem good, O’Brien remarked.
“They are discussing syndesmosis. We’ll see how that goes; scans are scheduled for tomorrow.
Since Hastings is the organizing half of the Knights, any extended absence would be dangerous.
Briggs, a former NRL player and employee, attacked the No campaign, saying it was “built on politics, lies, and misinformation.”
I go by Adam Briggs. My great grandfather was born in Wurundjeri country, and I am a Yorta Yorta/Wurundjeri man from Shepparton, Victoria. He wrote, “I am writing to let you know that I will no longer be supporting the Melbourne Storm rugby league club.”
“My father, Paul Briggs, and I have been ardent supporters of the Melbourne Storm since its founding.
“The board’s inability to come together in support of the Voice to Parliament is the root of my sadness and disappointment with the Storm. There is a significant amount of Polynesian, South Sea Islander, and First Nations player participation on the field but not off it in both the NRL and Storm.
Briggs claims that on September 16, he informed the Storm for the first time about Ralph’s substantial donation. Ralph owns twenty percent of the team.
“I informed your CEO, Justin Rodski, that I was appalled by the behavior of a specific board member. Brett Ralph’s substantial endorsement of the ‘No’ campaign, which voted to exclude my people from the Constitution,” he continued.
“Brett gave a substantial $75,000 donation to the ‘No’ campaign, which is based on misinformation, lies, and politics. Bret Ralph sponsored a no vote in addition to casting a no.
Contributions to “No” were made with the intention of spreading false information and inciting fear among Indigenous people.
