Grimmy, the club can shut this down in a heartbeat by contacting Jackson Hastings and asking him to make a statement. Why do you imagine that hasn't happened as yet? Maybe because the relationship has soured since they vexed him off and he is unlikely to even accept a call from KR or IL.
It does make sense. The key factor which isn't going away is: how the negativity is growing, more people are talking and nothing has been said from either party to quickly put an end to the gossip/rumour.
This next part is pure speculation. Perhaps Jackson since signing for Wigan has been offered something which turns his head more than a potential move to Wigan, say a NRL club. But Jackson is contracted to Wigan; so surely said contract means he's going to be a Wigan player; meaning Jackson will have to say 'thanks but no thanks' to approaches from NRL clubs. Then, just maybe someone (let's say a solicitor) finds Jackson a loophole to allow him to leave his Wigan contract. The loophole being Wigan's early announcement.
Now if my speculation is true; what would we have... 2 sides (Jackson and Wigan) going radio silent as they work out the mess in private. Both waiting till a verdict is met before making any kind of statement. Could that be exactly where we are?
If this speculation is accurate, one thing is for sure. Jackson Hastings doesn't want to be a Wigan player.
Purely speculating of course.
