Biography
A student of Our Lady of Mount Carmel primary school in Waterloo, Hastings first played rugby league when his school side was coached by a Sister of Mercy
Coach Jack Gibson placed Hastings into first grade in 1976 when he was 19. He went on to have a distinguished career with Easts that lasted 12 seasons and he played in the 1980 grand final against the Bulldogs. He held the distinct honour of being the first player to appear in 200 first grade games for the club and held the record for the number of first grade games for Easts at 228 until broken by Luke Ricketson in 2002.
Throughout his first grade career, Hastings received every major individual award of the 1980s, but was constantly overlooked for rep selection, making 1 appearance for New South Wales as a reserve in 1983, despite his impressive performance when brought on to the field, this would remain his only appearance for New South Wales.
Hastings received the name 'Horrie' from Bob O'Reilly who gave players nicknames that started with the same initial as the surname.
The Kevin Hastings Stand, at the Sydney Football Stadium, which is the Homeground for the Sydney Roosters, was named in his honour. He is married to his American wife Lynn and is back living in Australia. Hastings was on hand at the Sydney Football Stadium to see his son Jackson make his first grade début for the Roosters in 2014.
