There's confusion on social media that Hastings is not a marquee player and furthermore he's said he's going nowhere.
Make what you like of that, I'm just the messenger!
Why wouldn’t he be a marquee signing? Who else would it be this year currently as well as Burgess ?
Of the what 4 marquee players Wigan have had they’ve always mentioned that fact,if you read reports it could well be he’s taken a pay cut If anything to come back.

Like I said I'm only the messenger. Get on twitter and ask Zak Hardaker and Hastings himself, cos that's where I've seen it!!

Glad he's back so when do you think the news Gildart is leaving will be announced?

Well that is some good news in the current climate.

Shows more than a bit of faith from from IL that there is a future for the club and the sport beyond this awful time with the virus.

Please don’t mention any other player in this news thread,

This is brilliant news, one player you would always want in your team. He took the NRL by storm and now he’s coming back.

Maybe this is where all the Latics money had gone 😂

Have we got to the bottom of what’s happened with his contract out there?

First reports were he was looking elsewhere for more money.

Then it was Canberra couldn’t afford the 3rd year of his deal.

Now they apparently offered a deal to make him their highest paid player.

Looks like he had better offers but none could match seeing his daughter.
He will be on good money no doubt but surely this last few months has shown us money is not everything.
Great to see him back.
