Hopefully we manage to keep hold of French then at least we have one other viable option for the halves next year (+ Harry Smith), assuming we will lose Hastings and Tommy.'"
Why would he have to be a marquee spot? |

Is that good news? For me Hastings has the potential to be a much bigger influence on the side than Bateman and if it was a choice of one or the other it would be Hastings. That said I love Bateman and having him back softens the blow of Hastings leaving if true. |

For me, I don't want to lose hastings but we know he will be going back to the NRL either this season or next, so if we can get Bateman in to offset the imminent departure I would be happy and not wondering when he is going to exercise his contractual right to walk away. It leaves us able to plan ahead. Bateman might well be on his way to Canterbury or the titans for more cash bit I hope he is homesick

You think we have (probably) £300k free in the salary cap for next year? |

Easily if Lockers, Tommy, Gildart, Flower, Escare, Hastings and Burgess are leaving. Whether IL wants to pay it is another question. |

Well some of those will have to be replaced, e.g. Gildart, Tommy/Hastings and possibly Flower and Burgess. |

Yeah, so why can’t Marshall replace Hastings? Surely Marshalls value is less than Hastings? |

Wouldn’t Bateman take Hastings’ salary and marquee spot though? |

I do feel for those Warriors players separated from their families. They have made a bigger sacrifice than most. But does this mean NZW are no longer interested in Benji Marshall? Even so, I still don't seen how we can afford him, especially in current circumstances.

There's a good chance they're looking at Benji now as I just read on the mole that Hastings will be turning down the Warriors offer even though it will be the highest.
Blake Green is public enemy number 1 amongst Warriors fans at the minute. His pace, creativity and kicking game are really lacking this season. It's hard watching a Wigan hero get bashed week in week out on socials, no doubt he will be retiring the end of this year. |

The more I read about Hastings, the more it seems like that lightbulb has definitely clicked in his head.
He knows his talents and what he can provide for a team. I really do think that he now puts his career before anything else. Going to the warriors would make him a rich man, but would also be career suicide.
The Bulldogs might be bottom of the ladder, but with Hastings and Thompson they'd have a chance at turning that around.
Good on Hastings.
