It’s because he was so impressive for the juniors and it seemed him and George would be destined to be our future half back pairing. The reality is most of the people championing him probably didn’t even watch the juniors or very little at the most, It was the popular view on this forum at the time a bit like Kibula 18 months ago when everyone was crying out for us to get him in just because he’s a big lad. (Although that view seems to have gone full circle now)

Yeah, I can guarantee some people calling for him to get a starting spot next season have never even seen him play.

I'll freely admit that I've not seen much of Hampshire since he left Wigan, with the exception of on the Super League Show (where, to be fair, he seems to score a few tries).

As a junior, I thought he packed lots of promise, especially playing outside George. But then we've all seen these boy-wonders who end up as journeymen.

I maintain that if Rocky had stayed at Wigan and knuckled down, he could conceivably have found his way into our halfback interchange (especially with our now regular-as-clockwork injury crises). Whether he'd have kicked on from there is anyone's guess. But I was told that he was very hard to deal with, laying down the sorts of terms and conditions that the club only accepted from Hanley and Edwards.

That alone would make him a no-no for me. However, if his attitude has changed (and his wage demands match his underachiever status), I'd still welcome him back as a utliity player.

Colleague of mine coaches a youth team in Thatto Heath. Last night Lee Briers took their session as he is good friends with one of the other coaches.

Briers has told them that Burgess HAS signed for Wigan. Said he was told he is on nearly £400k contract.

And the irony is, the same people will say French is a rubbish/pointless signing when they won’t have seen him play...

It was ironic that as soon as Hampshire had taken his ball home and been shipped out we had an injury crisis and were crying out for half backs. In another universe there is a Ryan Hampshire who was still with us at that time and went on to take his chance. :BOW:

Wow. That is a lot of money for a forward. Huge signing though, would imagine Wigan could look to make some back with sponsorship deals. Can hopefully help the likes of Bullock and co to improve their games too.

I don't know if he is actually getting but apparently that was what he was asking for. I believe his contract at Souths is a lot so doesn't surprise me.

Apparently Briers was told this by current Wigan players but didn't let on to who or when it would be announced.
