Wigan took advantage of the the Marquee Player Allowance to sign the Salford halfback for 2020, meaning he must earn more than £175,000 a year.
But Hastings says the chance to work with Adrian Lam - who he knew from his time at Sydney Roosters - and play alongside some of Wigan's star players was the drawcard.

"The reason I chose them was because I feel like I can become the best person and player I can be.
"It's absolutely nothing to do with money - it's a football decision."
Hastings has a clause in his two-year deal allowing him to move to the NRL at the end of his first season.
