Is there a possibility of him moving to Toronto? I’m sure they’d be able to offer an acceptable fee to Wigan, especially for a player who might leave for nothing in a year’s time.

Do they have a marquee place?

I think they are keeping things rather mysterious.
Firstly, they don’t need a marquee space for him if they can fit all his salary under the cap anyway. Looking at their squad, they might be able to do that.
The SBW deal is also shrouded in mystery. Apparently he has been given a percentage of the club, so how that will count against the cap is anyone’s guess. Likewise, there are rumours that SBW has a significant proportion of his salary exempt from the cap anyway as he’s considered to be a player returning to RL.

As he signed a 2yr contract, then IL had better get a good fee for him, should he decide to sell him. None of this letting him go for nowt because he wants to stay home, only for him to pop up back in SL within a year (a la Gelling)

Really is. More or goes on the more likely he’ll never play for Wigan. Why Jackson hasn’t put an end to all the talk is beyond me.

This, more than anything, tells you everything you need to know.

Mistake signing him in the first place, We should have done some sort of deal with Canberra, Sezer for Williams and Cash or at least gone for Maloney, 2020 could see us being the laughing stock of SL again if this goes tits up

I agree. From the reading it seems he asked Wigan to not announce his signing out of respect for Salford and their fans. Then was massively annoyed when Wigan made an announcement before the season was over.

But I agree. That was way back when. Somethings not making sense. I guess there’s more to this than we know.

The problem could be right there,if it was in the contract that Wigan were not to announce the signing and they did Wigan would be in breach of contract.Just a thought.

I find the whole announcement thing a little baffling - Hastings is even quoted in the press release https://wiganwarriors.com/news/2019-07-08-hastings-to-become-a-warrior

We need to dig our heels in here RE the contract or this is going to keep on happening. Put a massive fee on him and stick to it. If he’s as good as he thinks he is someone will pay it.
