Putting aside our performance today, not only have we got a world class player in Hastings but we’ve got an even better person, the impact he’s had on English rugby is incredible and I’ve not seen an Aussie make such a big contribution to English rugby in a long time, we’re indeed very lucky to have him

He was immense not only in attack but he made quite a few try saving plays as well. The difference is that he was playing behind a pack that was making easy metres and he had willing runners and options. Its clear to see that Salford are very well coached. Will he have that same luxury at Wigan?

jackson hastings is absolute quality the best half back in SL with out a shadow of a doubt what a signing for wigan for the next 2 years if wigans forwards get the good go forward you will be a top team again next year with him at 7 for you

He is world class.

End of.

MAN OF STEEL BY A COUNTRY MILE

The lad will be worrying about his plan to get back to the NRL. With no pack & Lam as coach, next year he’ll be back to looking like he should be playing for a Wakefield or Huddersfield.

Lam is the reason he is coming to wigan. Mentored him as a young bloke at the Roosters U20S and big mates with Lachlan LAM

I suspect though he has and its clear as day he has a much better relationship with Watson,hed have stayed at Salford if they could afforded him of that I'm sure.

Based on what?

Did you see his after match interview, his passion for that team was there for all to see, he had tears in his eyes

People say all sorts of things when emotions are running high. Nobody made him leave Salford. If he loves it that much he would of accepted lower wages to stay there. Id suggest that by February he wont think twice about Salford or Dr Watson.

I trust you havn't followed Jacko too much ? you only have to look back one day through his tweets.

The lad has been a credit to himself, his club and the sport since he came over.

From the horses mouth he thinks Salford will make a play and try to keep him. Let the carnage commence

What a crock of from the horses mouth

That he has. A mate of mine is a hardcore Saints fan, hates Wigan and any player donning the cherry and white but he’s even said he’ll have a hard time disliking Hastings such is his character.

I do find it funny how we have to praise players these days for being good boys. He’s been an absolute credit to himself? Have a day off. He’s a professional sportsman, he needs to behave.

I’m still not having it that we’ll see more than 12 months from him, in a Wigan shirt. Especially when the only reason he’s signing, Adrian Lam, is axed midway through next year.

IL isn't a sacking chairman. Lam is on a rolling twelve months contract, should it all go wrong no doubt he will leave this time next year and not mid season.

A repeat of this years start and he’ll be gone within 10 games

No he wont. He will get a 12 month extension if this year is anything to go by.

And that fat marquee salary meant nothing to him. I bet.

Hastings is a very good halfback and Wigan will be a different side with him. He's exactly the sort of player that makes others look better because he runs the show.

He would have made Williams look like Alfie Langer in his heyday

Add that to "Anything Could Happen" when asked last night about staying at Salford in 2020...I would say the club are in for a tough few weeks

I assume that he has signed a contract.
After the Edwards fiasco I can't see the club making the same mistake.
