Quote: GET EM ON SIDE REF "For what it’s worth Hampshire is not a fullback
Never was and never will be
He is a number 6 and old fashioned stand off
I agree he never quite lived up to his potential
But then again he was never given a long run in the side
I personally think he is a better stand off than Miller
Only time will tell now if he finally delivers that potential given Castlefords injury list he may finally get that extended run at number 6'"
Sorry but I don't agree. I think his best position is fullback coming into the attacking line in broken play. His pace and his step make that an ideal role for him.
He plays off the cuff very well, when he is tasked with bringing other players into the game then I see far too often someone taking away any options by running us into a corner out wide.
I don't profess to be a Rugby League coach and have never played the game so I'm happy to admit I don't know everything (or maybe even anything) but I have watched Wakefield for about 35 years now and that's my observation.
