    Great time to becoming back after today's announcement on the Latics. It was on the BBC yesterday that he had been released and would probably return to Wigan

    and connected to this https://www.nzherald.co.nz/league/ne...ectid=12344812 NZ press are reporting NZ Warriors are after Hastings from Wigan- suggesting Bateman's contract costs may mean pies more willing to offload Hastings.

    Both St George and Canterbury have withdrawn interest. Very surprising, as he had a great first season with Canberra. Not necessarily home sickness as he seems to want a 4 yr deal with an NRL club!!! Surprising.

    Should have got some Hints + Tips from James Graham on how to raise your game and survive in the NRL.

    Maybe they know something about his fitness Wigan don't. He's on his second big surgery on his shoulder isn't he?

    It didn't take me buy surprise. I was told about it almost 12 months ago. It's all about his daughter Milly and this Covid epidemic has only made things more difficult for them both.

    Lot of ill feeling toward his agent. Last year he was on $580,000. The new offer was something around 750,000. Bulldogs offer supposedly around 800,000. Ricky totally brassed off with agent whom he believes is behind it all. What can Wigan offer him- nowhere near as much. Either way, he’s played his last game for Canberra.

    More fool the raiders for letting him have a clause that allows him to renegotiate his wage each year.

    Isnt his agent the bloke who the NRL is trying to ban? He seems to have a reputation for controversy.

    He doesn't know when to wrap it up the crank. He carries on like he's some super agent to anyone vaguely W***n related.

    Without trying to look a bit of a cynic, why are Canterbury trying to sign him then if he is determined to come back to the UK?

    Thompson didn't have a problem flying out to Australia

    Im not entirely sure in this day and age it's at all sensible to use her name either, even if only to prove your superior knowledge

    This is it Claire. He is actually "Dangerous Brian" players families/children named on discussion threads, he doesn't know where to draw the line.

    I was always partial to “Purple Brian”. Whoever came up with that one was a cracker!

    Come on, I've seen his nippers name mentioned in the press before. RG is a tedious bore and admittedly seems to have a knowledge of young players but I don't think it's right making out he's done anything untoward. He likes to show off with his "knowledge" and is a bit over familiar but I'm guessing that's stupidity and nothing more.

    (Yes, I'm well aware I've said things in the past).
