I'll take the credit for that one  and to be fair I'd been told it was fairly close to happening. It'll be interesting to see what happens next(?) year when his contract is up - I believe he was offered a contract along with Powell(again ?) in the middle of 2014 but terms were never agreed.
I think he's a terrific talent no doubt, but I also think Wigan seem to be doing their level best to stop him developing for whatever reason. There's a terrific post on the matter on your board (I forget who by) suggesting Wigan are more interested in shoehorning short term solutions than long term outlook (uses Jack Hughes as an example) - I think forcing him into the fullback role, because that worked for Sam, is foolish at best. (Of course I've not seen enough of his defence to know if that's the reasoning but even still you don't have players like that in your team for defence)

Don't matter if he's good or not Wigan will sell him when someone from the NRL comes knocking? (like Budgie)

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Should Wigan have matched his offer from Australia? |

Depends what you think he's worth? Chris Ashton didn't get a decent offer from you so left and look how good he turned out? |

Chris Ashton was fairly village at rugby league, though. |

Answer the question please.
And Ashton at Wigan was under a different management structure. |

Hampshire will be better than Tomkins and the best back that this country has produced in the past 5/10 years, as much as it pains me to say it.
I expect he'll get plenty game time this year and make a big impact when he does play.

Based on what ? A few 20 minute cameos here and there ? Do me a favour.......
Listen, when the lad starts dominating big matches, either from 1 or 6, when our Wigan friends have decided what they're doing with him, I'll agree that he's a huge talent. Until then, it's all baseless crap. He's a talent with potential but in the same sentence as AJ Murphy ?!?! Fuck off.

Based on the rugby I have seen him play. Did I mention Alex Murphy?
Watch your language please, first warning. |

And I didn't quote you, so why would one presume I was addressing you ? Or could it just be the mindset of a self obsessed, egomaniacal fiend ?
Run off with your warnings. Go and warn someone who cares. |

Could be, but then again it could just be that I misread and thought you had quoted me. Pick either option, I don't mind which, but you must be some psychologist to figure all that out from one post. |

Nobody knows how good anyone will be 100% until they have played a full season at super league. Then the is also 2nd season syndrome.
We had a kid called Sean Devine who had one good game against Cas and he was tipped to be the next Alex Murphy

That is true undoubtedly, but I just can't see anything other than Hampshire being a superstar. He's not just got one attribute that sets him out, he's got a quality all round game which is why I'm confident he'll be a very good player. |

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

As a former mod, the warning is about the language, not about the point of view.
I have never understood people who feel the need to be combative about mods giving out warnings. It's simply a warning, ie showing where the line is. If people got straight bans they would then complain about not being warned first.
As for not quoting, just because you address someone else, it does not mean we can't all chip in. |
