Partly agree there Wilzay, but also agree with The pimp too..I think it is something that has been worked upon.

The way Hampshire played last night, certainly happy with him continuing to be our starting 7 into 2019, and kicking his goals well too.

Certainly think the philosophy of the half back situation is changing, may well be just a back up half that we need

But still running in tries from 40 yards out!

I thought that was Hampshire's best game in a Wakefield shirt so far. He seems to be growing into the role and looked sharp every time he had the ball last night.

Totally agree Lyndsey, no brainer, Broughy has been one of the best over the years but Ryan is better now and can only get better.

Agree Hampshire had a fine game, demonstrating all the facets of half back game. Despite what I said about Broughy last night’s display by Hampshire showed me and convinced me .
Kicked brilliantly, creative with ball in hand, and showed that turn of pace which for me a real bonus as the opposing defence will never be sure if he will take them on.

I like the way we're was going with Hampsh, I hope Ryan gets the chance Broughy has had his time

Re: Danny Brough : Sun Sep 02, 2018 6:30 am  

The inclusion of Hampshire, at half back, has revitalised our season. Let's hope all a deal can be sorted for next season.

Re: Danny Brough : Sun Sep 02, 2018 8:07 am  

I like Hampshire and I hope he signs a long contract but we know from past experience with youngsters (and their agents)money talks.
It seems the ball is in his court!

Re: Danny Brough : Sun Sep 02, 2018 9:01 am  

Might depend on how high we end up finishing in the Super 8's.
Finish 5th and that 'extra' money for contracts could be the difference?

Not sure he's better just yet.

Hampshire needs to make a choice - either carry on following the cash cow whilst never really becoming a great player - because after a while people stop believing in players who have a dozen clubs on their CV.

Or take whatever Trinity can afford and spend a few years building a genuine reputation ant one build on hype and early promise from his junior days.

If he commits to Trinity for two years and carries on developing as he has been the at 25/26 which is all he will be he can name his price. Top SL club or the NR, he'll get a 3 to 4 year deal that will make him for life and probably a place in the history books.
