Quote: Trojan Horse "It’s a possibility that we already had a couple signed for 2023 before season ended yet to be announced. All we can do is wait and see though.
I noticed that Hampshire still doesn’t have a contract for 2023.
With us still needing a full back and possibly halfback cover/options I’d certainly look at Hampshire as an option purely for his versatility across the back line and halves.
I think he’s recovering from an ACL? And probably a number of months off but if the deal is right maybe it’s worth a look to add some depth/cover.'"
I can't see any logic in signing Hampshire up at this moment in time. When we're so tight on our budget why would you pay someone to sit in recovery for 4 or 5 months?
Wait until he's recovered and fit to go and then see if it's an option we need at the time.
Yes, you risk that someone else might pick him up in the meantime but I'd rather that than pay him for half a season that he is not available
