The problem is that at this stage of the season w still do not have a plan B. All the permutations should have been tried by now. Last year mixing Williams and Rocky up brought something different. For Wane to use Hampshire as a stand off would look like desperation. Hampshire neefs a good run in his best position but given the lack of go forward up front he could always play prop.

I'm honestly beginning to think that when Williams resigned a new contract it was a clause that if available he would be the primary 6. rocky must be thinking enough is enough by now.

No Hampshire in the 17 but Powell is on the bench.

Time to move on lad.

Liam Sutcliffe and Ryan Hampshire future Leeds half back combination?..get it on Leeds!!

I'd love to know what part of his performance last week warranted dropping from the 17.

Baffling selection. Pig-headed doesn't even nearly express my opinion of this incredible choice of line-up. Is it 'play well and you're dropped' for some players?

Time to move on for his career and his International credentials yes, sadly I agree.

What is even sadder is the club seem content to limit his opportunities and stall his development and that looks like continuing into next season.

Absolute disgrace. Play well and get dropped. Rocky needs to leave for the sake of his career.

I really do give up.

It's clear he's not wanted by Wane. His bigging up of Lewis Tierney the other day makes me think he's being promoted to understudy for Sam Tomkins next year and Hampshire will be thrown on the full back scrap heap by moving on to play in his weaker position (in Wanes mind) of stand off at another club.

It's rare that it gets to the point that a teams own fans believe a promising youngster should leave for his own good.

Hampshire looks like a real star for the future he has all of the required attributes required to make it big time in SL, but IMO he is a half back without a doubt and not a full back?

Incomprehensible! If Powell, Smith or Williams fail to impress (yet again), Wane needs to go! Rocky was Wigan's best player last week and deserves to be in the 17 if not starting.
Me/Ye of little faith....!
Just hope SW knows better than a lot of Wigan fans on this issue. I just think we should give Williams(at 7) and Hampshire (at 6) a chance, with Smith as bench hooker.
Time for Sam Powell to step up to the mark - but will he ever playing out of position as bench hooker?

I really rate Hampshire, a few people won't agree with me but I'd love to see him and Williams at 6 and 7 next season, with Smith a replacement 9 or leave all together, a few players seem to be in Wanes clique and some who can't do anything right like Hampshire, Charnley and sometimes Gelling

Rocky made the first try, scored the third and made Gelling's try with a jink and then a pass. Something that Smith would never do. His pace is phenomenal - as has been demonstrated on several occasions this year.
But just heard he is "out injured". How come he was in the 19? Not another "training injury"?
Was he wrestling with Wane who then showed him who was was in control?!!

Did Eddie just mention he's injured?

We'll have to leave the debate for another day if so.

Gelling is never a centre
