Easily if Lockers, Tommy, Gildart, Flower, Escare, Hastings and Burgess are leaving. Whether IL wants to pay it is another question. |

Well some of those will have to be replaced, e.g. Gildart, Tommy/Hastings and possibly Flower and Burgess. |

Yeah, so why can’t Marshall replace Hastings? Surely Marshalls value is less than Hastings? |

Wouldn’t Bateman take Hastings’ salary and marquee spot though? |

I do feel for those Warriors players separated from their families. They have made a bigger sacrifice than most. But does this mean NZW are no longer interested in Benji Marshall? Even so, I still don't seen how we can afford him, especially in current circumstances.

There's a good chance they're looking at Benji now as I just read on the mole that Hastings will be turning down the Warriors offer even though it will be the highest.
Blake Green is public enemy number 1 amongst Warriors fans at the minute. His pace, creativity and kicking game are really lacking this season. It's hard watching a Wigan hero get bashed week in week out on socials, no doubt he will be retiring the end of this year. |

The more I read about Hastings, the more it seems like that lightbulb has definitely clicked in his head.
He knows his talents and what he can provide for a team. I really do think that he now puts his career before anything else. Going to the warriors would make him a rich man, but would also be career suicide.
The Bulldogs might be bottom of the ladder, but with Hastings and Thompson they'd have a chance at turning that around.
Good on Hastings.

Hastings will struggle in the NRL. Too slow. Think best for him to stay put..... |

I actually think you are right.
I think he is better suited to SL than the style of the NRL. I thought the reverse for Williams whose game in my opinion suits the NRL better than it does SL.
Either way though it’s clearly a scratch Hastings needs to itch so good luck to him. |

Hastings is the kind of character the Warriors (NZ) need. Benji doesn't want to leave Wests, as there's likely to be a coaching job for him when he does retire.

Canberra are all about values and fair play according to those guys. That’s values and fair play in their own league/country I take it?! If there’s an opportunity to unsettle/take players for free from another league/country then they’re down for that. I keep hearing this line about Bateman throwing back what Canberra have done for him in their faces, how’s about what he’s done for them? It’s no coincidence they’re a better side now they have him, he was their best player in their Grand Final year and they offered him a contract where he can negotiate an increase each year.
You’d think these English lads had been plucked from a slum, working sorting out rubbish for pennies before the all giving NRL teams have them a better life. Bateman was a top class player before he went, he earned good money playing for a bigger club than Canberra and he won numerous trophies. He hardly needed to be whipped in to shape or taught how to play the game.

We're always letting players use us as a stepping stone and then welcome them back with open arms whenever they want. |

I’d take the Aussie reporters figures with a pinch of salt. They seem to live in a fantasy land. If that figure was accurate, then clearly he won’t be coming back here. |
