Yep, AG threw me under the bus by ordering a bucket load of supplements from us saying he would be back! I owned it, learnt a lesson and moved on
I let you all know Joe Greenwood was signed up for 2019 as a replacement for JB in February 2018. Also posted in the rumours section recently that he will be at Leeds next year in case you want to write it down to bring up in 6/12 months should he end up elsewhere other than exactly where I stated
Time will tell with Zak, I did post that he was unsettled and even put money on him not being with us next year but then I spoke with him personally, he told me he was settled, happy and looking forward to the future and getting back into the England/GB setup, I owned it, posted that here and haven't posted anything else since...what I think more recently, personally, he won't be here but believe me, I want him to stay at Wigan, I really do, so fingers crossed. I hope the club can accommodate Bevan French somewhere other than the full back position he has been signed to play in 2020.
I met Jackson Hastings personally for the first time recently as he is now one of our sponsored athletes and had a good chat, never met a more down to earth straight talking rugby player. What I posted recently was exactly what I was told, direct from the horses mouth - "anything can happen". My boss has told me Salford have a new financial benefactor and financially they are sound, I have NOT said for certain Jackson Hastings will not be with us next year, I just don't think it is as certain as most (including me) want it to be.
I don't remember stating that I had inside knowledge of Shaun Wane taking over at Leeds, I just stated I thought it might happen when they fired Furner, or maybe earlier when it was rumoured Furner might not take the job. He was odds on at one point with Betfred? Or did I make that up? Honestly didn't realise to post an opinion on here you needed to be categorically sure it was going to happen...I will make a note of that.
I won't apologise for posting what I hear
however, I will leave you all to enjoy the off season and look forward to some positive moves and a successful 2020 for the club!
If Zak leaves (and ends up back at Cas) then I am more than sure Grimmy will honor the £200 to Joining Jack and should he be at Wigan on day one of the 2020 season my first post back on here will be to confirm I have paid mine
