Legendary halfback Andrew Johns says Jackson Hastings could be the key to unlocking Kalyn Ponga's enormous potential as a top-line NRL five-eighth.Hastings, 26, was announced as Newcastle's latest signing on Wednesday, moving up the highway in a player swap with David Klemmer.While he has never been the first-choice No.7 at any of his three previous NRL clubs, Hastings will be frontrunner to start at halfback when the Knights open their 2023 season, according to Johns.Hastings was the halfback at Salford in 2019 and won the Super League's Man of Steel award as the best player in the competition."I think it's a great buy, a really good buy. I worked with Jackson years ago when I was at the Roosters, and he had so much talent," Johns told Wide World of Sports.
