When Hampshire played I thought he did preety well.
He's a good player to have in the squad as he covers so many roles.

A) Savelio ran over the top of Hampshire - a forward running at full pelt towards a halfback on the try line ain’t going to end up well.

B) Didn’t Hampshire set up all but one of our tries against Hull.

Personally I’d like to to see Hampshire bulk up a little and take on the hooking role with Brad next year if not this. I know you can only make a player change to a completely new position is they want to but could you imagine a spine with jowitt, milky, Lino and Hampshire calling the plays and pushing the team around with Brad off the bench. Hampshire could make a great hooker if he wanted to. We’d have speed and ability to burn with that spine.
Maybe just me though?
Thoughts?

He cannot in any way shape or form, tackle!

You could be right but as a attacking 9 Hampshire would be a great sub to bring on for B Walker who as brought a lot to the team as a 9

As any good forum should be, we will have to agree to disagree

To be fair Hampshire has never let us down in any of the positions he has played for us ,wing included . A cracking all rounder and a super sub if not in the starting 13 ,who can play all the back line positions ,and I’d say an invaluable squad member .

That would work great IMO
Think Rocky is born to that position and it’s a position some what up in the air at the mo and certainly for next season

It is a position that is up in the air, but. having to make changes at 9 through injury to bring in a more attacking player ,shows the way we should go Know we are playing against the so called smaller clubs ,but the ball movement is a lot faster, so we are beginning to make overlaps
