Agree, he took all the high balls, defended reasonably well and ran the ball back hard. The thing I don't understand is the way he is being used. Last night he was being pushed out wide and Wigans sliding defence dealt with it comfortably. I think he would have caused us a lot more problems supporting in and around the play the ball area where his speed and footwork would have been difficult to defend against especially as the bigger forwards tired.

last night was a direct comparison to the 2 players in Wigan who have played at 1 this year.
Sarge was a shout for MoM, and Tierney also had an excellent game on the wing.
Rocky was solid but didnt really add anything special, and was 3rd best of those 3.
On that basis, he is better off getting game time at Cas and trying to build on his confidence.

Well it's snowing again here today ! Summer rugby ? Not sure when that will start .
Unfortunately the small pension I do receive will not fund all day cross pennine coach outings ! I do possess a navigational aid that will work in the aforementioned vehicles , this can be loaned out for a small fee !
As an aside SW mentioned coach trips in his Wakefield post game interview , any connection ?

Hampshire was steady notthing more certainly not the game changer some people were expecting indeed i'd say Sarge more than matched him frankly.

Not playing tonight and dorn hat trick as it stands now, cant see him getting a game again unless injuries strike again

They'd rather play a fat, slow hooker at half than Hampshire. Says it all for him I'm afraid.

He must wonder where his careers heading tonight. Not even a place on the bench.

Still made a fool of Salford last week and was playing well until he went off this evening (potential injury). Just shows how petty you are having to insult other teams players.

Maybe it says a lot about our coaches who can't and won't accept anything that doesn't conform 100% of the time to predetermined game plans.
Coaches think they can plan everything to the nth degree when this flies in the face of common sense.
It's just another version of having 4 props on the bench and a ridiculous number interchanges that adds nothing to the game but encouraging coaches to be conservative in their approach to games.
If I was Hamphshire I'd look to get out of Cas and start to look for a new club which may entail a different code.

Maybe he just needed resting who knows?

But that he was playing at fullback speaks volumes for me,clearly Powel doesnt see him as a half back,wigan dont seem to see him as a fullback somethings wrong somewhere..it cant all be with the coaching.

Dunno about that. Hampshire wouldn't be one I'd think would be successful at Union. Can he convince a SL coach to take a punt on him? Going to be difficult with limited game-time.

Hampshire as been over hyped by Wigan fans. Only ever done one thing which was that flick pass against Saints.

He is not a full back that is for certain.

Not sure he even is a 6 or 7 at this level either from what I have seen and thats the problem, he aint performing when given the chance
