Literally never mentioned he’s moving to Wigan since he signed.

Someone asked him to update his Instagram bio which said “ Salford Red Devil’s #31”

Someone said change it to Wigan

He replied “nah”

I said this back in Oct when I spoke to him and was shot down. He is barely acknowledging being a Wigan player and I personally believe he doesn't want to play for our club or actually live in England anymore.

As long as that’s Harry and not Matty Smith?



I can’t see any of them moving now TBH. Personally I’d be inclined to say go with what we’ve got rather than panic sign or we’ll end up with another sub standard player like Sammutt.

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?

George Ford anyone?

If there's any legs in this then it seems as a club we seem to maybe be getting the dirty end of both sticks at the same time.

On one hand we have a player, contracted for another twelve months. Doesn't seem to have any interest in making his way into the team and happy to see his contract ride out until the bitter end. Contribution to the team = 0.

On the other we "may" have a new signing who potentially has zero interest in playing for us. Now assuming we have actually agreed a contract (and not just another embarrassing handshake) then we need to stick to our guns and make him play the twelve months or put a ridiculouy high transfer fee on him.

If all is true It's time for our club to stop pandering to players whims. It literally doesn't seem to affect any other club in SL.

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

If true that is pretty damning. He certainly has a rugby 'brain', but he does lack some pace.

They need to resolve this quickly as season tickets have been bought on the back of this signing.

WE NEED AN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Absolutely. A sole club announcement won’t cut it. It needs a joint one with Hastings or a confirmatory “he’s not coming”. This can’t go on for weeks on end, it needs to be nipped in the bud immediately.

Radlinski & Leneghan have the backbone of a flump so nothing will be said or done. As already stated, season tickets have been purchased on the back of these new signings.

Ive got used to it now. If the happy clappers are rubbishing what i say it must mean im thinking clearly and using reason.

I was right about Edwards, our forwards needing toughening up (Skerrett), WCC being a foregone conclusion, Salford in the final eliminator, and now my suspicions about Hastings are gaining momentum.
