The only thing I can say for absolute certain is that there was a press release recently saying we wanted a new full back for next season (and a prop)

It might be I have assumed they won’t renew Max’s contract based on that
However I’d like to think if we are looking for a new fb it would logically be for a an established fb and at the expense max, or else why bother with another full back?



I can say with absolute certainty that since that incredible rookie year he’s only played intermittently and has never had a proper long term run at fb

Doesn’t this year show you need more than 1 full back in a squad?

Yup

Absolutely yes

But where does that leave Rocky
Assuming we let Walker go also or we’d have 4 full backs

Who cares? Hardly broke any pots this year has he!!!

No just broke his jaw instead

Was that before or after he’d just jumped out of the way of Andre Savelio?

When Hampshire played I thought he did preety well.
He's a good player to have in the squad as he covers so many roles.

A) Savelio ran over the top of Hampshire - a forward running at full pelt towards a halfback on the try line ain’t going to end up well.

B) Didn’t Hampshire set up all but one of our tries against Hull.

Personally I’d like to to see Hampshire bulk up a little and take on the hooking role with Brad next year if not this. I know you can only make a player change to a completely new position is they want to but could you imagine a spine with jowitt, milky, Lino and Hampshire calling the plays and pushing the team around with Brad off the bench. Hampshire could make a great hooker if he wanted to. We’d have speed and ability to burn with that spine.
Maybe just me though?
Thoughts?

He cannot in any way shape or form, tackle!

You could be right but as a attacking 9 Hampshire would be a great sub to bring on for B Walker who as brought a lot to the team as a 9
