We seem to be expecting that Hampshire would be dropped.........what about the other half back?

Why would we give a quota player a good five year deal for him to play back up? Miller has had a good season IMO and seems settled in his position, he is one of if not our biggest attacking threat with ball in hand - Joint top of Superleague for try assists! Which shows just how much opportunities he creates for others and I don`t even think that tells the full story around what he creates.

Why would we talk about him been dropped?

I would like for us to stick with Rocky and Miller, unless a halfback was available that was proven to guide a team round the field, someone in the Campese mold without the injuries.

Agreed, my worry is that we bring someone in from Oz, like Sam Williams last year, expecting big things but in reality they are no better than what we already have and Rocky ends up sitting on the sidelines...but i suppose that could happen with any new signing regardless of whether they are from Oz or not.

Thats not to say Williams would not of kicked on in his second season by the way.

Definitely stick. He had a great game tonight. He gets better by the match for me. He has been treated as a bit part player all his life. We thrive on letting talent grow. I've learned my lesson here. I have slagged Reece Lynn from pillar to post but time proved me wrong. Hampshire needs game time and a vote of confidence and I reckon we've got a good un

Stick, he got a chance, he's shown he can operate at this level in his preferred position and can only get better. Whether the club and his representatives can agree on a deal seems to be the question though.

Yes I have seen that rumour. If he wants top dollar he is kidding himself. He has a fair bit to prove at SL level yet, though I fancy he will. I don't commonly agree with Sky Sports comments but their comments on him tonight were spot on. If you haven't proved yourself in SL by 23 you are usually out. He is 25 and this is his chance to show he has it. If he thinks he can get cocky and make big demands on the back of some improving but not top drawer performances, well good luck Rocky, you're at the wrong club and I suspect you will be in the Championship before you can say Halifax

Would that be the miller who has more assists than anyone else in SL?

Re: Rocky - Stick or twist : Fri Sep 07, 2018 5:15 am  

Absolutely!
Miller is a mainstay in out attack
He's had another excellent season for us too

Anyone who thinks other wise a) doesn't watch us play or b) is defunct of any knowledge of the sport
