Former Wigan Warriors and Salford Red Devils star Jackson Hastings is reportedly wanted in a huge transfer.
Having only just made a move to Wests Tigers ahead of the 2022 NRL season, the halfback has been a revelation at his new club after almost four years in Super League.
The former Man of Steel has been a big hit at the Tigers with his swap from number 6 to number 7 doing wonders for Wests and that has piqued the interest of NRL rivals – particularly Canterbury Bulldogs whose form has been rotten in 2022 so far.
The Bulldogs sit bottom of the NRL ladder and Australian rugby league legend Andrew Johns believes Hastings will be number one target for Phil Gould at Belmore.
“You probably look at that and you probably say Jackson Hastings,” Johns told the World Wide of Sports.
“He’s the one they’ll have to go after but to get him out of the Tigers, because there isn’t so much depth in the competition at halfback, you probably have to pay $800-$900,000-a-season or even more to get Jackson out of the Tigers.”
However, Wests are set to open contract talks with Hastings over a potential pay rise to stay at Concord in a surprise move already.
