Oh course there is NO truth in the rumour that Wigan have to let him go to pay their debts.
Why sign for them in the first place if you aren't fully committed. Seems a bit strange to me.
Radlinksi and Pollard have got some fast thinking to do if the rumours have substance.
I would probably have to have a sit down, I'd be laughing that much. Anything that goes awry for them is a delight
I have heard from various sauces that Lenegan and Hastings shook hands... So I fully expect the deal to go through
First Sean Edwards, now this.
Rapidly turning into Saints in the 1980' s !
I’m not sure I subscribe to this opinion.
He’s undoubtedly a very talented player, and on his day he can be a devastating half but IMHO Williams was in that kind of pool, and for me they’ve replaced an 8/10 player with an 8.5/10 player so really they’ve only strengthened by a very narrow margin in the halves. Who will play with him??
Wigan’s bigger problems are in the forwards. Flower (enter pantomime boo-hiss) is well past his best, Clubb is too (and his best was never that good to start with...) and there’s only so many times O’Loughlin can be resurrected and save them.
Can't stop the spirits when they need you.
This life is more than just a read through.
The Mole says, He's heard Hastings not happy about his deal with Wigan and he's got a number of NRL clubs after him but he will probably return to England for one season possibly not now with Wigan before returning home in 2021
This really is brightening up the off season, think Wigan are missing a trick though, they could make use of their TV channel to raise much needed funds. I'm a Wiganer get me out of here anyone?
Matty Smith 2yr contract at Wigan you can see it coming
In my best Kevin Keegan voice (paraphrasing slightly) - "I would love it, love it, if he turned them down - love it!"
I ate a tuna sandwich on my first day!
There is a rumour he has an NRL get out clause
Wouldn't fit in with the Wigan culture as he seems like a decent bloke
Probably best for both parties if he doesn't end up playing for them
We say players have all the power in these deals, but let's be clear a player has to sign for an alternative club. So it's the clubs doing it to each other.
Its not like he is quiting his contract to start a voodoo business.
