Hard to disagree with you,ill say again rather than acting like a big shot,head down and play your way into the side,if he's getting into a power struggle with SW theres only going to be one winner and that has to be the coach,allow one player to much leeway and it leads to right old mess down the line.

Time for Hampshire to shut up,say the right things about Cas for the time being and if he does come back come back with a little humilty maybe and get his head down and earn his place in the side in whatever posisiton hes picked in.

Well on today's performance you can have him back. Although it is possibly unfair to judge on one game, if this was Ryan Hampshire trying to make his mark I would hate to see him in his comfort zone! Very poor today, no threat from his passing or running game. Completely anonymous in the first half and predictable in the second when he had obviously been told to get more involved at half time.
I can't see the potential for him to become a first-choice super league half-back.
On another note, I heard today we have agreed a deal for Justin Carney to join Wigan in 2017 after his year on loan at Salford. I just hope we haven't taken Hampshire in exchange!

That would be an epic signing for us. Can't see where he would fit in though Unless someone is being shipped out we don't know about. Sarginson is a certainty but we wouldn't sign a top class winger like Carney to play centre when it looks nailed on that Gelling and Gildart will be there next season. Manfredi won't be going anywhere so that leaves Charnley????

Can he kick? Carney to dummy-half!

Hope not; we don't need that kind of trouble, however good a player he is.

Just seen the highlights, great pass by Rocky for the 2nd try. Edwards esque

Difficult to judge having not seen the game, but all last season I was starting to wonder if Hampshire is going to be one of these kids who basically fail to make the final step up. We've seen so many of them before, and so often they are the ones who were raved about as juniors.

There are all kinds of reasons why Hampshire may not be making the impact everyone expected (and they may not all be his fault - maybe none of them are!) - but several of his contemporaries from that strong youth team are now settling nicely into first team life while Ryan is increasingly spoken of only as an afterthought. If he doesn't rip it at Cas it's very difficult to see what kind of future there is for him at Wigan.

Really disappointing to see cas fans bag Rocky on the back of 1 outing. Wasn't great today but wasn't bad. Whole team struggled, missing some class from the pack always meant we were fighting an uphill battle. Set up a denny try but was pretty quiet, everything seemed to be directed to go through gale, if it's gale receiving it everytime from acting half, not too much ryan can do after 1 game. I'm sure he will improve further.

No, Lenagan said it would be considered this year, dependent on how he goes. Of course Josh would have to want to stay as well!

You get the sense his current deal probably far outweighs the level of performances he's been producing on the pitch (up until Friday). He's been very good so far this year but at the time of signing that deal he could do no wrong and we couldn't afford to lose him on top of Tomkins. Sadly his form has been poor for a couple of years but he looks back towards his best.

It would be very good from a continuity point of view to get him signed up. We're rumoured to be losing Sarginson at the end of 2016 and ideally it'd be good if we could limit it to that. The squad looks pretty well balanced at the minute.

It looks like Mr Charnley is Sale Sharks bound as of next year.

And to Wakefield/Leigh/Hull KR the year after

His poncey attitude is more suited to the other code, I can see it happening.
