Jackson Hastings.
He just seems to make sense to everyone.
Cas - we need a half who can kick. But we only need him for a year until Gale is back.
Hastings - he’s been clear that he only wants to stay in England for a year, so that arrangement suits him.
Salford - in danger of entering administration. If selling one player (who they only have contracted for a year) avoids this (and the points deduction that will make them relegation favourites) then it makes sense for them to sell.
Obviously, I don’t know the club’s finances. But with Hastings only having a year’s contract at Salford and the fact they are staring down the barrel of administration, they won’t be able to command a massive fee. Likewise, we’re only guessing where we are with the salary cap, but if Gale doesn’t play all season he won’t count anyway.
Can we afford to pay a transfer fee and a salary to someone to cover for an injured player? Who knows. Can we afford not to though?
