Quote: FickleFingerOfFate "Hampshire said he was on a third of what he was on at Leigh and to me, that's pretty easy to work out.
So is he worth double after being on a lower contract this year?
This is why it's important to try and get 5th place, that 'extra' money comes in handy to a club like ours and ensures that we can still keep progressing.'"

Straight from the horse's mouth then. icon_smile.gif
Agree we have to keep going for wins for the reasons you state and tbf they have been.

Obviously, with a club like ours, his contract has to be in line with others of similar value & standing. He's imo worth more to us now than when he initially came and proved especially in certain games that he can be a good halfback with huge potential for more, but how much more money he's worth atm is anyone's guess. MC along with CC would be the men to judge, then do the sums. Then it's up to Ryan to say yes or no.

Personally, I think he's staying if I had to guess, hope so anyway.

Quote: try scorer "but we dont know do we until someone officially says exactly what hes been offered'"


And I would hope that doesn't happen; there aren't many industries other than sport in which people's salaries are bandied about, with everyone and his uncle having a view on relative worth, or otherwise - and I don't think it's appropriate or helpful in this case. Particularly given that it's broadly meaningless without all the data - i.e. salaries of every player - which is none of our business.

My view is that MC has proven time and again in recent years that he can value and pay good players sufficiently to entice them to sign with us; and CC appears to be a coach for whom players want to play - so with that in mind, I'm satisfied that they'll make a fair offer to Hampshire, and then it's up to him and his agent to make a decision. Personally, I think his best option would be to play the longer game and do a couple of settled seasons as our starting 7 - then go back to the market - and I hope he does, because he's been great for us and is improving every week. But if he decides he wants cake today, that's up to him.

He had a great game vs Matalan tonight. One of his best in a Trinity shirt I thought. Superb try, lively all night. As long as his wage requests are reasonable, I think he is worth the investment

Quote: bren2k "If I were the Catalans GM, I'd be looking for a way out of the Smith signing - he's never been more than average, and by now, his day is done; Drinkwater has been a big part of why they've kicked on so well in the latter half of the season.

Regards Hampshire - I'm with Vasty and others who've said stick, but not if that involves pandering to ridiculous valuations; at 25, he's had more clubs than Tiger Woods, and failed to properly establish himself at any of them - here, he's getting regular starts at 7 and improving week on week. If he sticks with that, his stock will rise considerably over the next couple of years, then he can perhaps go to the market with higher expectations - and a significantly improved outlook on his career in the longer term.'"
He's a fool if he gets too cocky on his demands now

Great performance from Rocky last night, pulling the strings and showing some consistency now.

Definitely would not be disappointed if we went into next season with him as our first choice 7.

I wonder what Drinkwater said to him when they were returning to the half way line following Catalan’s first try.

Hampshire and Miller both in top ten try assists, with Miller being top with 26!

Imagine how far up Rocky could be if had have had more game time earlier in the season.

More than happy with these 2 as our starting halves for next year, with potentially Reynolds there too, as cover.

Why's that? Did Rocky react?

imagining is all it is imho and as I recall the reason he didn’t get the gig was that he didn’t do very well in his early attempts at H/B.

Drinkwater leaving Catalan because they have signed Smith and we cannot agree terms with Hampshire’s agent. It would appear we have one we cannot sign and one whose value is higher than ours
