| Quote MattyB="MattyB"He looks like he's in a more positive frame of mind and seems to be enjoying his rugby so far this season. He looks a yard quicker than last season (shades of 2010/11 seasons).
Is he out of contract at the end of the season?'"
I'll admit he has pulled his socks ups bit and looks a bit like the Charnley of old, but his attitude for the two previous years was awful. Not sure what his contract situation is with Wigan but I'm sure Leneghan said he was holding off offering him anything until the end of this year. Maybe I'm wrong. |

I didn't think he did too bad yesterday. Some people were and are saying he isn't good enough but it was his first game of the season. He ran fairly well, backed up a break and passed out wide for a try (although I think the pass was forward) and he shew some ok touches. I'm happy to give him some more games as I think he can come good.

Hampshire did make 28 tackles which for an half back is very good..more than most in the Cas team and I don't think the Wigan halves have reached that this season.
Cas were outgunned in the forwards and made too many basic errors..ie losing the ball 6 or 7 times on the first or second tackle, kicking the ball out on the full twice and also into a team mate in an offside position on one occasion.
He was far in front of Gale in tackling and metres made stats so to single him out in what was a difficult game for the Cas backs is ridiculous.

just an update from friday's game, against wire, i don't know what cas fans thought but i didn't even realise he was playing till the second half and he was defending along the southstand.
Obviously it was all one way traffic in the first half, but he was anonymous, anything and everything cas tried was via Gale. Hampshire seem to stay right out the way in the right centre, didn't seem to want to get his hands dirty.
He's incredibly young looking though, how old is he? He reminds me of Liam Bretherton who you guys took off us ages ago, proper baby faced.

We've heard an awful lot about what Wigan can and/or should be doing for Ryan Hampshire, but it's a two-way street. At present, he just doesn't seem to be making the required impact. There's time yet, though. To answer your question, he's 21. |

Looking at the match stats it would appear that Hampshire had to make a lot of tackles but only missed two. Did Wire target him? For whatever reason Cas don't appear to be playing to the stronger part of his game (running) as he only made 30 metres from six carries. Gale mad a lot more metres but had much less defending to do.

Yeah, *that's* how the game should be played! A bit of pace! Just too quick for Cas.

You can see from the video of the tries that his defense was pretty ineffective, Warrington certainly seemed to target his side to attack but he was lined up with Crooks, McMeekan and Monaghan so there may as well as been a neon sign saying "Attack Here" above them.
The game seemed to just pass him by. I'm not sure how long Roberts is out for but you'd imagine he'd be straight back in at stand-off. I just can't see Hampshire as a Super League stand-off at present. When the teams lined-up prior to kick-off he was notably smaller than his team-mates and that will be a problem if he is to defend in the defensive line, he will be a spot player for any team.
He does need to find a position that he can contribute from. In all honestly all I can see for him at the moment is either wing or full-back played in a similar fashion to Matty Russell which is all about quick scoots and kick returns and bouncing out of tackles, maybe that will suit his strengths.
He may well develop into a Super League stand-off however from Friday's showing he's miles off that at present. |
