Hey! Negative rumours only please,or it's no fun.

I read that earlier and thought it was some brass neck that. He stirred the pot (maybe with just cause) but at least then have the dignity to just stay quiet or if you’re going to now say he’s staying after printing the big scoop that he might not come, put some meat on the bones and give us details as to what’s changed.

Ive left a nice comment on the story on the sun website article

Typical S*n journalist. Scumbags the lot of them

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...

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.

Nothing wrong with Sam Powell as proved by his International selection and commitment to the club.

Why do some Wigan supporters always have to single out one particular player as a scapegoat?

If he were to leave tomorrow, who do they think will be next in the firing line.

Willie Isa.

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.

Whatever happened to Richie S? More rumours than Nosey Parker that bloke.

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
