Shame we didn't take a punt on him when he first became available although there'd of been plenty, me included probably, who'd have been in the "do we really need another player with baggage coming to the club" gang.
Hastings and Williams could have been something special but fair play to Hastings and Salford for getting his career back on track.

I feared another Tim Smith at that time had we gone for him but he’s been a breath of fresh air for the whole comp. Fingers crossed we see him in the Wigan shirt and he throws everything in to it like he has for Salford. If he does that he’ll go down as one of the most popular overseas players of all time in a Wigan shirt.

On another note about Hastings, it was interesting to read Josh Jones today suggesting his career best form has been in no small part down to Hastings. He says he’s never worked as hard due to the constant talk and instruction coming from his inside and he said it’s been much easier to make the meters he has playing outside Hastings.

I’d back Liam Farrell to have an amazing year next year based on that info.

I will believe Hastings is a Wigan player when he runs out at the DW in a cherry and white and not before

He's not coming and ZH is going?

You don’t account for a change of heart, there is nothing disloyal about changing your mind and wanting to remain at a club that has done so much for you. Regards Zak, you also don’t account for any personal issues that may not be publicised on “social media” and rightly so. I don’t have a problem with either case of the above turning out negatively for the club as long as it’s done promptly and Wigan have enough chance to rectify things. Last thing we want is to spend 2020 building for 2021.

Hardaker’s Instagram post this afternoon: “Well that’s 2019 done. My first year at @wiganwarriorsrl and Iv enjoyed every minute. What a pleasure it’s been to have played alongside @georgewilliamss and @sargmeister in their final year to.! Thank you to all the fans for your support to me personally it’s been awesome and really appreciate it. Few weeks off now but I’m already looking forward to 2020. Up the cherry and white“

Doesn’t sound as though he’s going to be leaving to me, unless he has a sudden change of heart in the next few weeks.

WARRIOR what are you doing? you know you can't consider his social media when discussing Zak... you have to go off what Ritchie Cunningham says...

Nice article today with Jackson Hastings putting to bed all rumours of him staying at Salford or going back to the NRL.

Hope this ends all the worries and silliness.

Everything points to both Jackson and Zak being in cherry and white next season after all.
