Yeah you’re spot on he’s a great player but his attitude off the pitch for us isn’t good and like you said previously i find it funny how he wasn’t prepared to comment on the rumours about not joining us in the pre season yet since tjen he’s been happy to comment on every little thing, he enjoys the drama and acts like a kid at times but when he’s called out he reverts to being the victim. I just hope we can replace him with someone decent next year

Fed up of Hastings,

Refused to squash rumours that he wasn’t joining Wigan in the pre season.

Moaning about not being in full pay, unprofessionally on social media (no problem him moaning in the proper channels)

Constantly sharing stuff from the time Salford stopped his current employer from going to old Trafford last year. Just not a good look.

Moaning about the new rules, moaning about only having a 2 weeks to train before we start again.

Went completely MISSING during the second half of that Salford game this year, rewatch it nowhere to be seen in the second half. He was probably too busy planning himself going over to clap the Salford fans.

He’s obviously a good player, LOVES Salford which is great, he was amazing for them. He was great for them and they were great to him. Why didn’t he just stay with them for one more year then heading back to Aus.

Bizarre bloke, give Harry Smith a start from next year please. Nobody should use Wigan as an option.

Made up Bateman is back. Best second rower on the planet IMO.

I think you will find he was offered 400K a year in Oz not dollars so if you think he is going to be on much less than that at Wigan , think again

And if you think we would/could pay him 400k gbp then think again....

It matters not, he still counts the same against the Cap.

Never said it did , Just some ridiculous low figures being quoted on here , whilst i accept his daughter is in England , his whole purpose in life is to make as much money as he can to support her , and that is a quote from himself .

He is on 220k a year. That is all Wigan can afford for him and that’s why he’s been debating for months wether to return because he knew he could make nearly double in Australia but he choose his daughter over money

Absolute nonsense , just look up his quotes in the Australian press , it is the financial future of his daughter he is interested in .

It must be right then if it’s in the Aussie press

When you have a family, especially with children and they are not with you on the other side of the world, money is not everything and you get a sense of homesickness.

It's different with young single players as they see it as a chance to see another country and be paid for doing it.

He’s come back in over 200k a year with a far cheaper lifestyle, hardly pittance is it?

So you seriously think Wigan are paying him 400k a year in this climate do you? Give your head a wobble.

This is correct. John Davidson confirming Wigan have got his on a very cheap deal ( for the class of player he is)

I have given my head a wobble and still worked out that he could earn 400k a year in Oz , so from the statement he made then no way is he coming back for 220K to play for Wigan .
