I think this is the right call personally. Yes he is a very good player and a wakefield lad but he messed around with his contract at the end of last season and is doing the same again now.

If he thinks he is worth more than what we are offering then fine, see you later.

The years of our owner overspending are gone and i am thrilled about that. I do not want MC to give in to a player who demands more money if its not there to be spent. Its a slippery slope and could lead to other players taking the same stance.

Good on you MC, i think Walker will be a better full back than Hampshire, and look forward to see who else signs in the off season!

Of course it can be done, but Fifita is an integral part of the team so can command that negotiation. For all that I would like Hampshire to have been retained, he's not at that level just yet, at least in the eyes of the people who are offering the contract. The club made an offer, gave a deadline, it wasn't accepted. End of story for me. As I said before. Ryan Hampshire will get another club easily so come next year he will be playing his game and can forget about perceived injustices here. No point looking back, it only eats up at you when you can be concentrating on the future and the opportunities that will bring.

DF is a better player and worth fighting to keep. Let's not forget that he was in serious contention for Man of Steel this year until he got injured. Was Hampshire?

Since MC came on board he has always given fans the truth, even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear. In this instance I'm going to take MC's word.

Let me go through the thread and clean it up.
I take your point but you've effectively just done that.

Ok, I've cleaned up the thread with the comments that are stating personal details or implies someone's identity, whether known by people or not.
There will be some posts that got caught in the crossfire with quotes unfortunately.

To both side of this argument. This is not the place to discuss this. If it's appropriate to talk about in the public domain it will likely be discussed in a more official route. If not leave it to your own personal dealings.
