Adam O'Brien on the decision to recall Jackson Hastings into the side

Transcript

00:00Well, I guess the age and the experience of the squad, Jackson's ideal to steer them around

00:06because he knows the game so well and very good with his communication.

00:11So that part will naturally take care of itself.

00:16It's a credit to Jackson.

00:18Injuries have presented an opportunity for him and I can't hold him.

00:24And the players have said the same at training all week.

00:26He's been really, really, really good.

00:30And I knew they'd been getting that from Jackson too.

00:33When you saw how genuine his celebration of the win last week was,

00:38I just, yeah, I think he probably could sense that there might be an opportunity

00:44and he's been great at coming forward.
