Rumours i've heard are rocky to leeds,people close to hampshire arnt happy with him playing fullback

Then heard today if sam comes back he has been signed to play at 6.

We will be in the minority but I agree with you.
Hampshire has that one thing in abundance that can make a good player a great player pace. Sam is quick but Hampshire appears even faster.
If Hampshire leaves I for one would be gutted and the arrival of Sam would not sweeten the pill as we would still appear weak in the halves.
Retaining Hampshire and getting Sam back would be perfect.

I really can't get my head round why it would have to be Tomkins or Hampshire at the club.

Hampshire is a junior who may want a better contract but he can't surely be asking the world and there's room for both.

Both of those in the same team is a very exciting thought from a Wigan fans POV.

I agree but you have to remember a few on here always have to make a negative out of something positive

But he hasnt signed a new contrsct where others have committed to wigan so at the end of the day if its anyone maybe it should be him

Rogues is saying we have an option to keep him until the end of 2017 elsewhere. I have been told the rumour has it his family aren't happy he's being seen as a fullback by Wigan but maybe that was because he was being thought of as a fullback yet he wasn't playing. He's now got a place and I think he'll be first choice going forward so things change.

Challenge a superleague side to throw a better spine at their opposition then the one I would for next year (listed below)and they'll do well to beat it!!

1-Tomkins
6-Hampshire
7-Smith
9-McIlorum
13-Lockers

Bench hooker- Williams/Powell

That has pace, power, creativity, aggression and any other skill/ability needed in rugby league in abundance.

Make it happen Lenagan/Wane.

Lots of flexibility too... Injuries can be easily covered, and lots of changes COULD be made during a game as required.

I've not seen much of Hampshire but I hear he's going to be as good as Sam tomkins from many wigan fans.

What I don't get, why isn't he being picked at 6 if he's so good ?

But if this is true, what is it that makes a relatively new and inexperienced 20-year-old think he can dictate which position he plays in?

I personally would hate to lose him - for any reason. But I don't understand what it is with young players, who are still basically a work in progress, that they suddenly feel entitled to their favourite shirt.

Hampshire's shown flashes of brilliance - but that's it. He's nowhere near the level Shaun Edwards or Andy Gregory were at that age.

Or sam tomkins
