In a season that didn't have too many highlights for Wests Tigers fans, the form of Jackson Hastings was a bright spot. Returning to the NRL after a stint in the UK Super League, Hastings played both in the halves and at lock for the Tigers in season 2022. Proving his reputation of being one of the good guys of the game, Jackson gave a big chunk of his time to fans at the latest Ambush event on Su...
