The wily old fox Tim Sheens has pretty much left Brett Kimmorley to his own devices since he took over the reins at the Tigers.But one move Sheens did suggest was shifting halfback Jackson Hastings to lock - and what a success it has been.The Tigers have averaged 24 points per game since Hastings became a middle forward and the versatile former Rooster and Sea Eagle was superb in the upset win over Brisbane.Sadly, nothing is easy when you're a Tigers fan - and Hastings was the victim of a shocking tackle that resulted in a broken leg late in the win and he is out for the rest of the year.The big positive for the Tigers was the form of halfback Jock Madden, a late replacement for the enigmatic Luke Brooks.Don't be surprised if Brooks is granted a release over the summer and Madden is given his chance on a permanent basis in 2023.
