Random paper talk suggesting Lui is unhappy with the pressure at Leeds and wants to leave meaning we are free to sign Hastings who wants to come to us.

Way too many ifs and buts in there for me but that's what is out there.

Which random paper?

Boyd would be a risk. His shoulder is meant to be frigged, and he can't do big minutes, which will become an issue with the number of interchanges being reduced

I don't know about his shoulder but I do know he doesn't player big minutes.He would want marquee money and I'm not convinced he'd be worth it.If he was to come I would only offer a 12 month contract if he's a success then if he wants to stay then offer him a deal.I feel the season after this there will be better players available than Boyd.

If Lui did want to go I do feel giving the chance to mclelland with Myler as back up would be a better long term bet. Hastings would stay a year at the most and be unsettled for much of that as he eyes the NRL.

Someone has said he wont return to Wigan but another SL club.
Pure speculation maybe and not sure what pressure Lui is under yet without us starting the season.
But a year with us to develop McLelland wouldn`t go amiss imo.
Maybe Lui and Myler to Salford.

All sounds bonkers to me. If Hastings is not happy with Wigan contract, why sign it?

Hastings and a bag of conkers swap for Dwyer and Lui?

Back on planet earth, hope we get another
Big tough forward in once Martin passport sorted.

Maybe it’s all big hairy rubbish as well?

Martin has been the last player to return for pre season (I don’t think he’s back as of yet?) could that have been to do with the PNG passport?

Personally I don’t believe any of that and going for Hastings would be just as bad as the Merrin saga as NRL clubs will come calling for him and he will go! I don’t understand why Lui would be under pressure? Gale is partnering him? Myler and Mclleland chasing a place? It does not make sense at all! We don’t need another halfback, we need a prop and a decent utility!
