| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Bit thick? If anyone was a 'bit thick' it was IL or the clubs legal team not ensuring all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed before parading Edwards around the pitch and having him interviewed before securing him as a coach. But that's all in the past.
I think there's more to the Hastings story in terms of 'who's in the right and who's in the wrong' currently. But as they say; there's no smoke without fire and Hastings is currently failing to address any of it and put the negative rumours to bed; that's telling.'"
Let's not pretend there wasn't an awful lot of deception going on from Shaun Edwards too. He made every indication on a global platform that he was coming to us. But all that's been said and it's not worth raking up again.
If Wigan have been thick over Jackson Hastings, then I'm sure that will come out. But at present there's only one person behaving badly on that front. If he didn't want to sign for us, he shouldn't have done it. No one twisted his arm.

They could just employ him on minimum wage and then get his mum working in the canteen for £250k a year. I'm sure that won't be the first time a club has done something similar.

| Quote: Grimmy "A reminder whilst we're on the topic of your inside knowledge of disgruntled players I just can't help but feel we're making something out of nothing. I can understand him wanting to enjoy his off season with family and friends in Aus rather than acting as rumour control. Someone might correct me but I'm almost certain I can remember overseas players even missing the first friendly in the past because we've allowed them a bit longer back home during the off season.

| Quote: Grimmy "Alright calm down
Grimmy, the club can shut this down in a heartbeat by contacting Jackson Hastings and asking him to make a statement. Why do you imagine that hasn't happened as yet? Maybe because the relationship has soured since they ed him off and he is unlikely to even accept a call from KR or IL.

| He's better off not coming now, he's right at the top of the 2020 scapegoat list and nothing's going to change that now.
I just hope he has actually put pen to paper and we can get a fee for him.

| I believe Hastings will be a Wigan player next season. As someone who lives in Oz I can say I understand Hastings not saying anything about the situation. When I come home to Wigan I don’t give work a thought and enjoy family time. I expect Hastings is doing the same down in Sydney/Wollongong.

It does make sense. The key factor which isn't going away is: how the negativity is growing, more people are talking and nothing has been said from either party to quickly put an end to the gossip/rumour.
This next part is pure speculation. Perhaps Jackson since signing for Wigan has been offered something which turns his head more than a potential move to Wigan, say a NRL club. But Jackson is contracted to Wigan; so surely said contract means he's going to be a Wigan player; meaning Jackson will have to say 'thanks but no thanks' to approaches from NRL clubs. Then, just maybe someone (let's say a solicitor) finds Jackson a loophole to allow him to leave his Wigan contract. The loophole being Wigan's early announcement.
Now if my speculation is true; what would we have... 2 sides (Jackson and Wigan) going radio silent as they work out the mess in private. Both waiting till a verdict is met before making any kind of statement. Could that be exactly where we are?
If this speculation is accurate, one thing is for sure. Jackson Hastings doesn't want to be a Wigan player.
Purely speculating of course.

Or alternatively, his seeming disdain for his new deal - and the fans who were waiting to idolise him - has vexed the club off, and they consider that the ball is now in his court.

I get what you’re saying but the guy is a pretty big user of social media and in a situation like this where his intentions are being questioned, you’d think he’d find 30 seconds to simply comment that he’ll be a Wigan player in 2020. He’s found the time to post pictures of all sorts of randomness over these past few weeks and whilst it’s all been personal stuff to him and none really rugby related, I’d personally want to ensure I wasn’t getting off on the wrong foot with my new club and it’s supporters before my times began ‘If’ I intended on heading to that club in just a couple of weeks time.
The silence is telling a story at the minute unfortunately. If it drags on for another couple of weeks and he does come, you still can’t help but feel there will be question marks over his commitment.

| 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.
