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

And change his bio. Which for someone who uses social media frequently would do considering he knows there’s a lot of eyes watching him.
Additionally don’t forget when a fan mentions changing his bio he replied with... “na”

Look a little closer. Apart from the very first signing interview Jackson has failed to mention or address Wigan at all.
I spoke to a former Wigan player who knows Jackson well, openly said Jackson wants out.

By Jackson’s own admission; Salford are the ONLY club he’s left on good terms. He’s no angel.

He’s not saying in Australia anyway that’s a fact, and that’s from the horses mouth...

One thing the club can take from this is a discussion with the players around having fans connected to their social media accounts. Either don't accept requests from fans you don't know, or you need to treat your social media page as an extension of the marketing of the club, or have private social media accounts and separate club related ones.

Clearly the fans have access to too much currently and are more than willing to jump to conclusions based on it.

He'll be at Wigan for training next week.

From a close source to Joey Lussick, he's 100% heading to the UK next week. Maybe issues resolved? Goodness knows.

It was on his Instagram. I have a little feeling you don't know how it works...

Nobody forced him to sign the contract with us earlier this year.

About eight years ago I handed my p45 into the company I'd worked for nine years. Made the decision a little quickly whilst in an emotional state and following weeks and months I had pangs of regret. In the end it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.

Suck it up buttercup.
