| Quote SaleSlim="SaleSlim"You mean like Alan Shearer did at Newcastle United or Matt Le Tissier did at Southampton? Playing for a club they loved and potentially dismissing any opportunity to win trophies at "bigger" clubs in order to be happy?
Imagine that eh? Someone playing for the love of a shirt and not just a fancy villa, a nice bottle of vin rouge and a top up to their pension fund.
=#FF4000PS. If Hastings didn't pull on the Wigan shirt would this be a record for the "Wigan Walk" to be performed before a match, rather than the customary 50-60 minute mark?

I think we'd just have to class it as the typical Salford fan behaviour of not turning up to matches

We don't have the fans to turn up chief, it's not like they actually exist and they're sat in their armchairs.

| Depends if he actually signed for Wigan or only signed like Edwards did. Wigan have form for daftness in this regard.

| The Mole on Twitter has a slightly different take on it. It was suggested by Carter that a move to the NRL was more likely, but Moley thinks it's more likely he'll move to another Super League club for 2020. Now unless that Super League is Toronto on a marquee contract and thus way more than Wigan, I can't see what's going on here? His Wigan deal allows him to move back to the NRL after one year, but secures his financial future if an NRL deal wasn't offered. What's not to love about that? All seems very odd to me. Does anyone have any better theories? Financial problems at Wigan? Culture problems? Falling out with the guy who tried to blind him in the Play Offs? (I forget who that was). Or just a regret at agreeing to move to Salford and a desire to do another year with them to reward them for their loyalty to him?
As a non-Wigan fan, it's pretty funny to see them in utter meltdown mode on Twitter. But another concerning moment for Super League I guess.

| Can’t see him moving to another SL club unless Wigan want the marquee spot. It just doesn’t make sense to leave a club you like, and who give you your chance of redemption, to move sideways again. Saints are the only bigger draw than Wigan, and they won’t want him.
But if Wigan had a plan to get someone in and needed the marquee spot or the money, they may let him go for a fee.

| Hastings mum has chipped in on this on Twitter now - definitely looks like it is more than just a rumour.

I've seen players wearing basketball caps. Doesn't mean any of them are signing for the Lakers.
I think people are reading too much into things. Wigan fans are understandably anxious, but analysing every photo and social media post is a little over the top.

Indeed, but if i saw steph curry (the player) wearing a chicago bulls cap i'd be curious and his current employer would i suspect be furious.........

Nothing to do with what Wigan say, check out European employment laws! Wen people say contracts are not worth the paper they are written on this is what they mean. If he wants to walk he will, you can't make someone work where they don't want to work, I'd have thought that was obvious. It was nice of Wigan to include that cause but they need not have bothered.

See now you’re just getting carried away.
It’s got nothing to do with forcing someone to work where they don’t want to. It’s got to do with registering him as a player. Hastings or any other player can of course walk away from whatever contract they’ve signed. As others have said it’s unlikely they’ll be sued for any sort of loss from the club. However that club can legitimately hold their registration for the duration of the contract. The NRL have previously said they would honour any registrations lodged with the RFL and vice-versa. That’s why the contracts include NRL release clauses.
