Jackson Hastings

Field out for 6 weeks, torn hamstring.
French apparently lands back here this weekend.

Apparently not gone down well with the rest of the Wigan squad that they’ve been doing a tough pre-season whilst French and Hastings have been allowed to stay in Aus literally until the week the season starts.
Always dangerous when you treat some players differently to the rest of the squad.

Can’t understand why they’ve had special privileges. They’ve had months in oz.
They know they are employed in the UK.
That were their job is.
They should IMO abide by what the other players have had to do. Start pre season the date club have set.
Being blue eyed boys won’t go down well with the rest of the squad.

I think the honest answer is that Wigan are so worried they’ll lose French and Hastings that they allow them to dictate when they are going to return to the U.K.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a club allowing players to miss the entire pre-season.
Can’t blame the other players in the squad for feeling a bit peeved.

Wasn't they stuck in aus due to covid situation?

Doubt it.
All the other Aussies managed to get over on time.

I wouldnt like it if we had blokes like Hastings and Falou trying there best to get a deal in Australia and only coming back as a last option
I saw in one of the Australian papers yesterday the Roosters were after Josh Reynolds see how long he stays at Hull if they come a calling

Also rumours that James Maloney is someone they are chasing.

Paul Kent / Buzz Rothfield were talking about Maloney going to the Roosters on NRL360 yesterday.

I think all the recent speculation sums up why a large proportion of Aussies come over here, to put themselves in the shop window back home.

Yes, they get a pay day or pension top up but they may also believe their 'talents' will shine through.
