I've never been convinced that Hampshire is the fantastic HB that some on here would have you believe, he just isn't and that's clear to see. However, the poor lad has been overhyped and messed around with all his career and I think it's destroying him.
He may not be the boy genius that many a fool on here has continually predicted but he is a sound enough player who has the natural gift of speed. He should be more than adequate for our needs yet the player has gone backwards at an astonishing rate. He looks broken and clueless, yet he's nowhere near as bad as he looks at the moment. Given some guidance he could do a job for us especially if people drop all the hype and expectation, schoolboy RL is a long time ago now.
It's not just him, most on here used to think Batchelor was possibly a world-beater, one of those smaller dynamic players who punched way above his weight.
Jowitt, a player who never lets anyone down and is the best FB we have, Walker is not very good it's obvious, ditto Gogot a wast of space. Only Hampshire is up there with Jowitt yet neither is the first choice, utter madness.
Crowther, if ever a lad was busting a gut to play it's him. Yet his use is sporadic and he never gets the chance to learn. Crowther is not natural in that he has no obvious natural gifts though he is now starting to bulk up. He's a grafter, he's an improver, give the lad the run he deserves in his best position (backrower) and see him go.
TJ doesn't smile anymore.
I admire MC's loyalty but CC and his gang have messed up hugely. I get the other issues and they make a huge difference of course they do. However, you pay your coaching staff to get over these issues. Be honest MC, almost any coach could have coached that Trinity team as it was 18 months ago, but things have changed and Chester has nit stepped up.
He has to go, fairness and sympathy are no longer applicable, CC could be giving it every fibre of his being but it isn't working.
Ditto MC, if you've had enough and I can't blame you then put us up for grabs and if anyone wants us then fine and if they don't then let's call it a day because this is bloody torture.
We need to move on now and painful as I'm sure it is to sack a person it has to happen, I can't see any sign of a revival and I had stuck with CC until Sunday.
