For me Hastings is a Wigan player until I hear otherwise from him or the club.

I'm not gonna get too worked up that he hasn't changed his Twitter bio while he's on his holidays.

Moley commented couple of hours ago that he’s probably coming but needs to sort out couple of issues in his contract. My guess is something to do with money

IF there is any mileage in this at all then we need to be looking for a replacement now.

I assume he already has a verbal deal in place with someone else for 2021 and no doubt due to player movement etcthe potential to sign early has become a reality.

He never seemed to be fully committed to the move despite signing in my opinion.

He is a fantastic player but if his head is elsewhere we need to be covering all bases to find an alternative. If we can locate a replacement then let him go.

Using a marquee spot on someone whose mind is elsewhere for me isn’t an option.

This is of course assuming there is some truth in it, which to be fair their does seem to be.

It's funny how we all bought into the story that Hastings was one of the good guys.

Clearly, he's one of the good guys if he's getting loads of money. If he's not, he's just like all the rest.

If he does end up coming here, I strongly hope it's for no more than one season. I'm all for players getting well paid, but anyone who's happy to publically blackmail the club like this when he's already signed a contract is the wrong fit. As someone else said, I'd start the search for his 2021 replacement at the very first opportunity and I wouldn't even try to hide it.

If he does come for 2020 (by some miracle, as I highly doubt it now) then he’s only himself to blame for the inevitability of the fans getting on his back if he isn’t firing on all cylinders.
His relative silence whilst constantly posting pictures and cryptic messages on his social media have made him look a selfish and ignorant prat.

Shame clubby didn’t clock him a bit harder, in that play off game.

I think Wigan need to cover all bases in case he never turns up.
Richie Myler is available...........

We’re ok for ball boys thanks

The cynical side of me thinks that if there was nothing to these rumours surely the lad himself would’ve addressed them by now...

It’s so frustrating that you’ve got a genuine world class player like Maloney coming over to Catalans and getting stuck in with no dramas, and a big club like us, have someone who’s not fit to lace Maloneys boots potentially try and back out of a deal.

Whatever happens from here this situation has done no favours for the club what so ever.

Nice

Staggered at some of the replies above. This is all Rumour. Nothing more. Put about by 1 Journo who hasn`t even spoken to JH. Those who are having a dig s should await a response from the man himself
