I don't particularly want to give this credibility by discussing it at a certain level but...

If Lui did want to go I do feel giving the chance to mclelland with Myler as back up would be a better long term bet.

Hastings would stay a year at the most and be unsettled for much of that as he eyes the NRL.

Cheers

Sounds like a load of rubbish IMO, how would Lui be under pressure they only got back to pre season a few weeks ago!

Someone has said he wont return to Wigan but another SL club.
Pure speculation maybe and not sure what pressure Lui is under yet without us starting the season.
But a year with us to develop McLelland wouldn`t go amiss imo.
Maybe Lui and Myler to Salford.

All sounds bonkers to me. If Hastings is not happy with Wigan contract, why sign it?

Hastings and a bag of conkers swap for Dwyer and Lui?

Back on planet earth, hope we get another
Big tough forward in once Martin passport sorted.

Maybe it’s all big hairy as well?

Martin has been the last player to return for pre season (I don’t think he’s back as of yet?) could that have been to do with the PNG passport?

Personally I don’t believe any of that and going for Hastings would be just as bad as the Merrin saga as NRL clubs will come calling for him and he will go! I don’t understand why Lui would be under pressure? Gale is partnering him? Myler and Mclleland chasing a place? It does not make sense at all! We don’t need another halfback, we need a prop and a decent utility!

It's improbable that Hastings would quit Wigan for Leeds but remember we were, by far, his preferred option - but unlike Wigan we wouldn't agree to the get out clause. Absolutely rightly.

If we gazumped Wigan for him now there would be an almighty transfer fee or a Hetherington vs Lenaghan court case which would be one for the ages like the Harris one. In short, it's almost impossible to happen.

Add to that we no longer need him.

Sounds like utter nonsense. How would Hastings 'quit' Wigan to join any SL side? Would he try the Solomona route of 'retiring' from Wigan?

I hope we either get someone sorted soon if we're looking at one or more signings. Wouldn't want to go too deep into preseason without the squad settled as there have been so many changes.

No idea why Hastings seems to have cooled on Wigan but this paper report seems just fantasy 2+2=125.Why would Lui feel pressure when we haven't kicked off yet.More pressure last year so if he doesn't like pressure why leave Salford who were flying high to come to Leeds who were under pressure of relegation.

Surely the Hastings issues are more to do with not wanting to come back to England rather than a move from Salford to Wigan. Sounds like .
