Wasn't reported, Hastings was suggesting he look at the replay wasn't he?
Further on, on the day it's revealed WT's have knocked the Storm back for 3 other player requests, (Daine, Ken and Doueihi) They agree to release Nofoaluma to the Storm....
This same day Hastings is in Media saying that the Team has no issue with him, Sheens has no issue with him and sees him as having a place in the side moving forward and he doesn't want to change clubs.
Ignoring what's obvious doesn't make it not obvious.
