If the rumours are true about Westerman and Hadley wanting bigger deals, that would account for moves for Jones and Hastings from (cash strapped) Salford? Like for like.

Nothing to do with him needing a contract

Must be why Drinkwater,Hall,Shaw,Lee,Lunt,Maguire,Scruton & co are ripping it up....

In what way would Hastings for Westerman be like for like? Completely different players.

Not bothered why. Just saying having someone to share Tag's load and give us go forward is making a difference. Could be welcoming Bowden back soon too.

Not doubting what you have heard, after all I live over an hour away form the Hull grapevine, but I am very sceptical about the rumour mill, especially when it comes to players financial details. Why they would discuss it with anyone than their agent and the club questions the validity of any rumour.

After all, if the rumours were to be believed Sneyd would be a Wigan player next year.

Perhaps I should have put IF? in capitals?

Just my opinion but I think Hastings would make an excellent ball handling loose forward and can tackle.

Hastings? Where's that from?

Just rumours. Not saying it’s true. FC fan I was talking to yesterday said his wife’s sisters cousins dog had spoken to the cat next door. Personally I think the majority of any signings will be from Super League. I don’t doubt there’ll be Oz based players coming in but not the number fans expect.

Jackson Hastings is Wigan bound.

Okay
