Poorly treated by Wigan according to some in the game and then moved to Cas who stuck him on the wing before going to Leigh where he wasn't getting any guidance. Maybe he's had to come home to Wakefield for his talent to shine again? Sometimes a club and a player just fit - he's 23 and plenty of time ahead of him.

and one player that might fit that bill is Lewis Heckford 20 yr old who played the start of his junior rugby in the half back role then moving into full back role, Morgan Smith took his position there, since being at Wigan he's not come through the ranks and was loaned out to Dewsbury, not sure where he is at the moment as not on either website, had he taken the scholarship with us he might of been talking about him now coming through our ranks

Hampshire is going really well at present and was damned unlucky to be moved to FB when Finn came back in.
I know it's east after the event but, I believe this cost us 4 points, which would have made things really interesting now.

Certainly deserves a new contract and we need to keep Miller and Hampshire together just as long as possible, which will only go to improve their understanding of each others game, which will benefit the team and the club.

Looking forward to seeing how he goes opposite the bookies favourite on Friday

I remember a Scout at the time telling me Heckford who played for Stanley was the best ever 14 year old he had ever seen. Pretty much every club in the country was after him and he chose Wigan.

Unfortunately with the situation he ended up involved in he lost almost two years and God alone knows how much damage was done mentally. Haven't seen his name around at all this year.

That was a good Stanley side produced a few players we signed a couple I recall.

Up the Trin

he was good such a shame he wanted more than we could offer him, love to know where he is now

went to Dewsbury for a months loan, actually met up with his dad and he told me he'd like to get this way over the border

I hope the same doesn't happen to Hampshire what has happened to MCB. He's not going to play second fiddle to another half back & why should he

Or Jordan Baldwinson?

What has happened to MCB? He has played second fiddle because he is second fiddle, did you want Chester to play him over Johnstone or BJB just to keep him happy?

The universal problem for/with all super league clubs is having players that are "Ready made" ie, all full of experience & Up to speed on playing full super league with nothing to be a/in the negative & therefore nothing to learn - in particular at the expense of your club & league points.
True that doesn't make sense but the top four clubs will pay over the odds for this aspect whilst all other super league clubs yearn for this but have to let players learn their trade.
Then come the big clubs & hopefully buy that ready made item !
Sorry for the facts,
Up the trin for ever.

I have no issues whatsoever in TJ, MCB or BJB. I think we are really fortunate that we are really strong in this position.

MCB is a good player and is only young. You cant blame him for wanting regular first team action. Maybe releasing him could also free up funds to strengthen where its needed more, and maybe blooding the next generation could be the back up for TJ and BJB

Agreed,last post, personally I like Randal & have no problem with his general
Ability but his only down side is slow ruck speed so we bring on woody to speed
Things up !
So we/coach knows this, answer we need another quicker hooker - ruck speed & control of ruck usually decides who wins !

Thought Hampshire had an outstanding game, no doubt the best in a trin shirt to date. Massive wraps to Lyne also, he's gained the strength and size to fend centres off and run over them.. something I thought I would never say about Reece. Roll on Friday!
