I don't know about the attitude stuff but I do think he is/was talented enough to have been a real star by now at Wigan. Wakey rate him.'"
I thought they'd let him go ....reconsidered, and then re-signed him?

I think it was more of his demands. Thought he could get better elsewhere, no-one offered it to him, went back to Wakey
I could be very wrong about that though

Absolutely. Spent years at Wigan claiming he's not a fullback only to end up playing fullback and even being shoved on the wing for Wakey

And that probably sums his career up

Exactly. I'm sure he sometimes thinks back...... If only, if only, if only.

| Quote MattyB="MattyB"That Sam Tomkins fella did okay didn't he?
That Farrell lad who has played a few games for us these past ten years, he's pretty good?
Or what about that Gildart boy? Or the even younger Marshall kid, he's not bad either.
Then there's young Williams who's bagged himself an NRL contract along with that Ryan Sutton lad?
Then there's Manfredi before he unluckily got himself seriously injured.
I could go on........'"
Your point?
Nobody said we've not produced some good young players. My post was in reference to Rogues. He says every crop of young players coming through are going to be world beaters.

Hes had years at Wakefield. I dont see many top clubs queuing up for his signature.
Do you think we should bring him back to Wigan?

World Beaters? Put your money where you mouth is then and quote him where he's stated that.

I think Hampshire got confused by the change of emphasis on the role of players. The old school remember the half backs as being the playmaking maestros just as we have with Hastings again today. Hampshire came through when the emphasis as playmaker was being shifted to the fullback. By the time he would have got his chance in his favoured position he had already been loaned out.

Leeds wanted him when he was at Wigan but Wigan talked him into another contract loaned him out and he never played for us again. I know a bit about this as I spoke to someone close to him and the club (not going to post his name on here) and he said the club treated him terribly through it all, offered him the world and in effect ruined his chance of signing for another big club and reaching his potential

He probably looked at George and thought he’s playing ok in the halves and I used to outplay him in the academy so why can’t I

I still occasionally watch the Magic game against Leeds so the answer is he probably could.
