Spoke to a former Wigan player who knows Jackson very well. According to the former player Jackson doesn't want to come to Wigan. Jackson is currently doing what he can to get out of the deal.

For me all bets are off. He's not coming.

And the former player... I'm not saying who... but put two and two together and you'll figure it out.

Let him pay £250k out of his own savings to release himself from his contract. Let's see how serious he wants away then.

Expected a marquee, ended up with a gazebo.

I don't care what we do now, just don't bend over and let him go on a free.

Someone must pay, it shouldn't be us.

While I know the issues around the Edwards fiasco and how the club were at fault for the deal breaking down, I can't see how the club could be at fault for Hastings reneging on a contract (if the rumours are true).

Given what happened with Edwards the club will have no choice but to be extremely firm with the fallout and if I was them I wouldn't rest until all he could afford on that plot of land in Australia was a cardboard box. What's the going transfer fee rate for a Man of Steel equivalent halfback? There's the breach of contract compensation fee.

Has Salford got a marquee signing?

Have Salford got £500k to pay the transfer fee?

Not sure about the details. Unrelated (I didn't hear this from the former Wigan player) there's talk that it's over how annoyed Hastings was about Wigan announcing the signing before the end of the season which, according to Hastings' people... breaches the contract.

They won't have to if the contract is torn apart due to breach of contract on Wigan's behalf.

On his impeding move to the Warriors, Hastings said: “Although I am looking forward to an exciting new chapter in my move to Wigan in 2020, I intend to finish my term on a good note with the Salford Red Devils, including all members and fans - many of whom have become friends of mine who I appreciate greatly.” Read more at https://www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2019 ... d1lcIdd.99 Why would someone claim Wigan breached the contract not to release the info until the end of the season then give a quote like the one above? If Wigan made the quote up, why wasn't the breach flagged up earlier? Think we can safely put that breach rumour to bed.
