So he’s bought a house closer to Wigan than where he currently lives.

Defo signing for Salford then.

What (if anything) would you say is going too far in terms of intruding on the personal life of someone you (presumably) don't know?

I'm glad someone else said it.

Tbf (apart from the Worsley house stuff), all that information can be gleaned from social media quite easily.

I'm sure it can but is it right to find out where a stranger lives and who he is in a relationship with and publicise it on the internet? Maybe I value my privacy more than most but I wouldn't want people delving into my personal life and publicising it like that even though I'm sure you could with a bit of effort.

Just looked back through the last 3 threads on Hastings and literally no one says he didn't want to be here from the day he signed. I'll ask again; could you name some of these people who said he did. It should be really easy seeing half the people on here have said it.

By easily, i mean he publicises this info on his own, open profile. For me, privacy is set by the individual. If a player has an open profile that anyone and everyone can see, then I don't think we can say it's crossed a line.

In answer to your original question, I'd draw the line at stuff that's not put out there by the individual i.e the Worsley house stuff is going too far imo. Commenting that he's in a relationship, or used to live with Lussick isn't. He's been quite open about that.

Fair enough, I can appreciate that logic, and I get that he's left himself open to that by accepting fans he doesn't know on his profiles. Just always feel a bit uneasy about this stuff but like I say maybe I just value my privacy more than most.

FWIW I agree. My two social platforms are locked down and I barely use them to post anything personal.

That being said, I'm not in the privileged position these guys are in. I recently reached out (via work) to the management company of an Instagram influencer we wanted to work with - their going rate was £10k for a single endorsement/post!

Crazy world that we live in.

One thing is for sure, Hastings would have his private life intruded on more if he was back down under. I doubt he’s overly concerned what a few blokes on a fans forum are talking about when he’s been used to being hounded by the Australian media. I’d hazard a guess the old Worsley house rumour is more make belief than Big Jim hiding in the bushes. This isn’t Nottingham Tiger we’re dealing with!

Madness. Here are my rates:

For £10 I'll endorse your views

For £100 I'll stay quiet on the Enforcer's next post.

For £10k I won't bully Whiffy Kipper for a week.

Nice to see you lot still as gullible as ever and you all bit.

Lockdown has kicked in for Big Slim, You absolute trickster (that’s over looking the fact it was called out as BS).

Enjoy your off season.

Yeah apart from the guy who accused me of stalking and giving out players home addresses.



You too Nicky!

Had to laugh at the Hastings to Canterbury rumours today - the one club on earth he'll never end up at now Trent is there.

Even Jacko said there is 0 chance of that happening

Ian Watson spotted near the John Smiths stadium earlier and apparently has bought a house under the main stand.

Jackson Hastings spotted buying a 4 pack of John Smiths. Must be Huddersfield bound too

That troll won't be seen again.

If you are refering to me with your childish comment, I will will ask you this question, Would you leave a secure job to go to another job where you could be sacked if you do not produce the expected results?

What are you going on about? Or are you also Sale Slim and you've posted off the wrong account this time?

I think that there's a big hint on the future of both Lam and Hastings in Bevan Frenchs interview with Jai Field on Wigan t.v.

Just watched that. Says his decision to come to Wigan was easier with having French and Hastings at the club. Not a guarantee he’s saying both will be here next year but it’s certainly a positive sign that he’s hinting at that.

Lam will be here without any doubt.

I’m pretty sure now that both Hastings and TL will staying so maybe Smith could be sent on loan for 12 months to London, Leigh, Fev or York depending who gets the 12th spot.

Really interesting times
