Just read that he wants to stay with us.

If that is correct get him signed up now!

Feel that this will lift the gloom.

Despite our recent poor form, I have felt that he always tried.......
perhaps a little too much!

A happy Hampshire will allow him to relax a little and we need his injection of pace to put us on the front foot or to finish off attacks.

Please coach Chester play him at half back though as this is where
we have been working at snail's pace since May.

I agree. We have nothing to lose. Put him at stand off.

Surely cannot be worse than we have persisted with throughout a drastic losing streak!

I agree with the sentiment and also give him a run at stand off . However as far as I can see club offered him a deal with a fixed cut off, he didn’t accept it so the club recruited elsewhere. Call me a cynic but guess no one else wanted to offer him a better deal and now he’s very keen to stay . Wonder if this is why the club is open to offers on Reynolds ?

Re: Rocky : Mon Jul 22, 2019 5:31 pm  

Would love Rocky to stay, but I concur with others play him at no 6 with Max regularly at no1 and make Milky fight for his place.

So the Huddersfield rumour is rubbish...

You'd have to be blind not to see that he was offered a deal by the club which was well documented, what wasn't said by the club though was that it no negotiations on the deal a straight take it or leave it.

Just one other point for you to think about you old cynic, three that's 3 different clubs whom I won't name offered Hampshire a better deal than what was on the table at the club, which he turned down because he wanted to stay at Wakey, maybe they need to get rid of Reynolds because they have put another offer back on the table for Rocky, you'll need to ask somebody in the know about that one.

I d be happy if he stayed - but with jowitt walker brough Reynolds miller would be one too many .

Anyway here’s hoping

It still all depends on the money. If he wants the kind of money we could spend to get Cooper Cronk over for one last season then probably not but if he wants a salary that is in the top half of our squad then I probably would.....but not top. There are others above him.

IMO only Big Dave and Johnstone would be above him. Maybe BT as well.

Re: Rocky : Mon Jul 22, 2019 8:08 pm  

I would look to keep him and play him at 6 0r 7. unfortunately we havnt seen enough of Reynolds but hes not let the team down on his odd appearance . miller was on the bench for a while a couple of seasons ago and from memory always looked sharp. A quick question hasn't Brough played hooker on the odd occasion.
