Why do you think he's at the s*n?
Hacks, hackers and sc*mbags the lot of 'em.'"
I follow him on Facebook and he's definitely down as a Sun journo.
His post today is laughable at best "even though it was quoted by multiple sources" i.e I've eff'd up and published unsubstantiated rumours so I'll pass the blame.
Nothing to do with him being a Salford fan... |

| Quote: MadDogg "The thing is - it is actually true that Jackson wasn't all that keen to sign for Wigan. Iv heard that fron two ex players and one teammate. There were no firm NRL offers and in financial terms Salford were blown out of the water by Wigan's offer. Leeds wasn't an option as they wanted a straight two year deal with no release clause and he probably hasn't felt particularly enthusiastic about it during his time home in the off-season. Hopefully he'll be fine when he gets over here, enjoy the brilliant facilities and embrace the challenge and opportunity to win something. There's always the risk that he'll half-ass it this year but I doubt it as that wouldn't do his NRL prospects any good. Plus he's always been professional and competitive in his time here.
The journalist has probably heard some of these whispers and taken advantage by putting together an exaggerated but plausible story. There was never any evidence that Hastings was going to be unprofessional and not fulfil his commitments.'"
As a Salford fan I can guarantee he won't 'half-ass it'. In his first game for us when he had no bond with the club yet he worked so hard that he had to be taken off after half an hour as he was exhausted - still had to be dragged off though. He'll be out to prove that he wants to be there. We did enjoy the 'banter' over the last week but we all wish him well and look forward to playing you. |

| Quote: The_Enforcer "There is no smoke without fire and what did i say a couple of months back?
I said that Lenegan should contact him and just tear his contract up if he doesnt want to come (or something along those lines).
It was met with howls and scathing attacks against me. But the fact is, Hastings has not once shown a scintilla of enthusiasm for joining the club, in fact, he has always come across as having a dislike of Wigan.
We do not need players that dont really want to come and are only coming because the money was too good to refuse. I know the money is always a big part of a player going to a club but at least they usually show some enthusiasm. The way Hastings has acted has me wondering if he would even try his best whilst here?'"
Quote: The_Enforcer "I said something similar a few days before your original post on the matter and was met with the same attitude, Shame there's too many tinted spectacle wearers on here'"
Quote: The_Enforcer "
Quote: The_Enforcer "Spoke to a former Wigan player who knows Jackson very well. According to the former player Jackson doesn't want to come to Wigan. Jackson is currently doing what he can to get out of the deal.
For me all bets are off. He's not coming.
And the former player... I'm not saying who... but put two and two together and you'll figure it out.'"
This thread aged like fine wine. I was wrong too as I said I only thought we would get a year out of him

I bet him £200 to Joining Jack that Hardaker would be here at the start of the year and he disappeared once it was time to pay up. I feel bad about it to be honest as he seemed like a nice guy, just a bit easy led with rumours. RichieS - if you're reading this, come back pal, we'll forget the bet  |

He worked for one of the club's previous partners so probably won't get any gossip now anyway  |
