It would be nice just to let WP/MC/JM finish the recruiting first before some on here start moaning.
Players come, players go.
Some through their choice, some through the clubs.
Just let the staff get on with it.
We are still 3 months from the start of the season.

This came up on MCs Q&A.

He wasn't absolutely specific but said that no negotiations happened. Its only implied but that implication to me is that he didn't ask to stay and we didn't ask him to stay.

Interesting.

Must have a gig lined up elsewhere, best of luck to the lad.

Halifax seems to be signing up a lot of our players, Kyle Wood being the latest. They are putting together quite a good squad, so maybe there?

Would have thought he'd want to stay in SL tbh.

He's not the messiah some on here make out but he's a useful player for most SL clubs to be interested. It all boils down to cash I suppose. One thing for certain, either he doesn't want to play for us anymore or we don't want him or both if no negotiations took place. For whatever reason, he's not a Trinity player anymore, so I say let's concentrate on and support those who are.

Belive he is training to be a sparky,this is a oriblem with rugby league kyke as played top level rugby for many a year but now he coming to end of his career he needs to learn a trade.even 2nd and 3rd teir footballers dont need to do that

He's a strange one is Hampshire. Popular with fans yet not with coaches it would appear. It's ok everyone on here blasting CC or WP but they only seem to think the same that all his previous coaches. They can't all be wrong. There is clearly something there that we don't see.

I really like the guy and was pleased when we managed to get him after he'd eluded us at Wigan, Cas and Leigh. You do get the feeling he's suffered within the club because of the zealeotry of some of his supporters.

Spot on.

It got quite ridiculous at times and can only have hindered him. I remember one of his bigger fans claiming him to be the best H/B of his generation, I honestly don't see how anyone can think this sort of OTT nonsense helps the lad. It puts unrealistic expectations on the player's shoulders, a player who himself never seemed anything other than modest.

It also puts other peoples backs up, even if it's only subconscious, it just doesn't help. In this respect, I feel very sorry for Hampshire who always seemed a very reluctant hero.

I don't know what the coaches see and don't see, but whenever this happens to a player that looks great it tends to be because they can't follow the game plan.

Hampshire is an absolute athlete. When he has the ball either at his feet or on a breakaway he is one of the best. But if he's not moving in the same direction it would disrupt the coaches plans.

I've no idea if that's the case but there has to be something. It can't be that every coach doesn't see his talent or doesn't like him.

Could it possibly be his vaccination status. We have 2 games in France, 4 if we are unlucky on the loop fixtures, thats about 14% of games unavailable by choice, nevermind injury. With him being an anti masker, it is also possible he is anti vaccination.

Is he?

If so, he has the right not to mask/vax.

Equally, the club have the right to not renew his contact.
