Could be a target for them, yes, though hasn't he already expressed that full back is not a favourable position for him.

If he was providing cover in the halves say, for us, he could potentially step into the role permanently once Finn hangs his boots up.

I can't really see Finny doing 30 games in a season for much longer to be honest, like he has for the past 2 seasons. He may do it one more year, but hard to see beyond that

A lad like Hampshire, with speed, bottle, and plenty of willingness - mentored and coached by a player like Finn... could be just what he needs to step out of his transient phase and nail down a position.

FWIW as a Wigan fan the best game I saw him play for us was at stand off after Williams pulled up in the warm up.

At U15/16 Hampshire and Williams were outstanding playing as a pair. Both could organise and run good support lines, usually Hampshire backing up Williams half breaks. Very reminiscent of Edwards and Gregory. When they moved up to the Academy they started to play as split halves rather than a pair and Hampshire became less effective. They then tried to convert him to a full back in the Sam Tomkins mode at the expense of Lewis Tierney. This was the point when the bust ups started to come.

Thats one fine tribute and accolade Dr Feelgood.

Dont they say that class is permanent and only form is temporary

Heard he's signed up with us. Expected to be announced this week at some point.

With jk leaving there must be a bit more money in the pot!

You'll see him announced this week

Must be a revised deal then. The 1st one was a no go apparently.

And it was just a rumour apparently from an unreliable source.

If it is true, welcome aboard Ryan

Is it just me or if this signing to good to be true. With this lad on board we would be incredibly strong- way stronger than any Trinity side I can recall. Makes you wonder how the hell we got him and how the hell we've got the team we have.

If true it's absolutely stunning - doesn't mean success is guaranteed - but stunning all the same.

I dont doubt it.
