Quote Travelling Wilbury="Travelling Wilbury"If we are losing one of our players for next year at full back, I feel it may be Hampshire.
MJ has earned the right to that number one shirt, and with Miller and Linos partnership looking like its now gelling. Therefore Hampshires game time could reduced once fit.
Its a shame as i do like him, and have seen him play well for us wherever he has played.
Both parties may feel, after the last contract negotiations that enough is enough and may wish to part ways'"
It’s a tough one for Hampshire. He is in essense the ultimate squad player. He can play to a good level at 1,6,7 even wing. He may not even play every week but would be a valuable squad player. Depends if he’s happy with that or wants more. There will always be opportunity through injury and the lad doesn’t lack ability or effort.
He’s highly thought of at Wakey no doubt but given the choice I’d keep Hampshire and let Walker go. Walker put in a couple of good performances when called on and would go with thanks. Still plenty of the season left yet though so who knows.
