After reading RLE I got the impression that Rocky really wanted to stay. Well if he was that passionate about “playing for his home town club” why oh why
didn’t he sign before May 31st. Then Wakefield didn’t need to sign Walker.
With Broughy and Miller not firing he would have been in a better position to try other options.

I think he was hooker in Hull's CC final victory over Leeds in 2005.

Guess if Reynolds sign s for Leigh as reported will free up both his wage or majority therein , and create a space for Hampshire - I d be pleased with that

IF the club were serious about the deadline that was set for Hampshire signing and he didn't sign, surely, they will have made plans for his replacement, be that Walker from London or someone else.
I like Hampshire's busy style and as a running HB he has looked more likely than any of our other pivots to break open opposition defences BUT and it's a huge but, if the lad wont accept what has been offered and the club believe that the offer is reasonable, then the lad will be off, just as soon as someone makes him a better offer.
Nobody could blame him for doing so as RL is a short career but, equally, you cant have your halves always on the brink of leaving.
Now, more than ever, we need some stability (and quality) in the halves.
Brough looks to be past his sell by date and Miller, for whatever reason just hasn't offered his usual contribution.

I guess only Chester and the coaching staff know why we have been poor in the halves but, on current form and based on what we should "expect", Brough is offering lease, with Miller next worst and Hampshire 3rd.

Certainly worth having a re shuffle for our remaining games

I'm sure I've read somewhere that he has been offered better terms at other club/s (?) but he has turned them down and wants to stay with us ??
For those that haven't seen this weeks article in League Express from Aaron Bower he quotes Rocky..

"It's been a crazy week with things going on, but I love this club and it means a lot to me coming from here. Hopefully we can get something sorted out and I can stay here....Last year I didn't sign my contract until after the last game, and it's madness. I don't want to be waiting around because I'm on my toes...…..in the last couple of weeks, I've personally felt some fatigue in my performances, so the break is going to do us good....This club means a lot to people, including myself, and I don't want to see us getting beaten like that." (against Wigan)

So he clearly doesn't want to leave, so we just have to hope that all the relevant parties can get back around the table and thrash out a deal

I like the lad, but he definitely needs to be playing at half back.Think he did all right at fullback but was exposed against Cas.What you get with Ryan is a bundle of energy with blistering pace and bags of enthusiasm.I still have slight doubts about his organisational skills but also remember tries scored from some of his excellent passes.I've grown to like his endeavour and will to win and have started to think, like others have said, that he could develop into a top player.Another big plus which can't be underestimated is his top notch goal kicking and also the massive fact that he is one of US.Bearing in mind that he has said he really wants to stay,I hope that a compromise between himself and MC can get a deal sorted.

I have a bit of inside info on this, doesn't happen much. Can't guarantee it 100% but this is what I've been told, well not exactly as that wouldn't be fair.

He's been offered a three-year deal at an annual wage roughly equivalent to what an Arriva bus driver gets if he does a good wallop of overtime. This is more than you might think but not a king's ransom, certainly not for a career that is short. Don't know if there are any added incentives but that's what I'm told. I'm told Ryan wants that upped by 2k and he will sign.

I know its all about budgets and team requirements, but compared to what we have wasted on some Aussie players and general has-beens through the years it sounds good value to me.

Again its what I've heard from a good source but nothing close to the horse's mouth so I accept it could be totally wrong, in which case I apologise in advance.

I’ve tried to stay quiet on this but it’s getting ridiculous. If rocky would sign for 2k more it would have been done by now.

The truth is that he was offerred a deal 85 days ago and has never come back with a response other then after 70 days, it’s not enough via his agent.

So have you made him an increased offer?

I sincerely hope you aren't expecting a detailed response to that from DC.......

I’m not going to get embroiled in detailed discussions on this.

But there is a lot of mis-truths out there and I told his agent last week, that I’m happy to go public with the whole saga if he is. Talks are ongoing but things have changed since the offer was made on April 30th and ignored for 70 days!

Bye Bye Rocky
