It's very strange (and little sad for him) - even at Cas with the injuries there they have prefered playing a hooker and prop in the halves over Hampshire, Powell and Orr you would think know a bit about half back play and yet Hampshire can't get a game there. So all in all it has not been a good move.

With Tommy soon back at Wigan and Shorrocks fitting in well in recent outings the future for Hampshire at Wigan does not look promising, hard to see what is the best for him other than a move to another club but without being able to show what he can do on the pitch it is hard to imagine clubs being willing to sign him, as he is on a long term deal at Wigan so would cost any club in transfer fees.

Not ideal for anyone.

I notice that Hampshire is absent from the list of players that Wane is happy to have competing for your pivotal positions. A slip of the tongue, or is he off, do you reckon? www.loverugbyleague.com/news_226 ... umour.html

Hampshire is playing on the wing today for Cas v Catalan.

That's an interesting selection, be fun to see how that works out!

8: TRY CAS!! Who says you can't have half backs on the wing! Quick hands sends Hampshire over out wide.

Two trys now.

We could do with a wing/centre. Maybe he could be that man! He'd be fine from an attacking point of view but going the other way would be the issue.

Hardaker may be available soon...

Took both tries well and played quite well today. Be interesting when Paddy Flynn comes back as to if Rocky can keep his place in the team. On today's efforts I'd keep him on the wing. Didn't let us down and shew good pace especially for his first try.

Agree. Played his best game for Cas on the wing. Maybe we have found his best position eventually.

Scored 2 excellent tries for Cas today.
Possibly at fault defensively for one Cats try for not sticking with his opposite winger but overall his performance was very good.
He is very quick and very athletic.
I don't know where he'll be playing next season but there's no reason why he can't have a bright future in the game..he's still developing physically and will get stronger and fitter over the next year or two.
If he played behind a big pack of forwards who could create space for him he has the ability to run in tries from any part of the field..it also requires a coach however to realise this.
Cos he's still under contract, for Wigan to get him off the salary cap I assume he will have to be paid off or a compo settlement agreed. It'll be interesting to see what Wigan do with him.

He's taken a lot of stick this year, so It's only fair to give the lad some credit for his form the past month or so. Two more tries on Friday night against Hull and he looks a real threat since his switch to the wing. Has he got a future here after all?

Been superb this last month, 3 games on the wing 1 at FB, scored trys , great footwork, good support play to score v his beloved wakey . . I would like to see him stay at Cas due to his versatility. Is that enough to keep him at wigan? I doubt it.
