Quote ="stillinthepast"This thread seems a bit strange, it talks about Williams getting a 4 year contract and also mentions that Powell still has a few years to go on his deal, but no mention of the length of Hampshire's contract (who is said to be the best Wigan prospect for years). I always was under the impression that Hampshire's contract ran side by side with Williams deal.
This season Hampshire has never been considered for first team halfback cover when it has been required for the first team, it as always been for the fullback position only.
There have been matches this year when Hampshire has not been in the 17 when Bowen as played even though Williams and Powell have.
Now I have read today on the Wigan Rugby League fans forum that Hampshire's contract is up at the end of the season and he is refusing to sign a new one.
Surely someone more informed than me can clarify the situation regarding the length of Hampshire's contract and if it is up this year there must be some hold up saying that Williams has been given a 4 year deal which has been accepted.'"
At the end of 2012 season Lewis Tierney signed a two year deal, Greenwood and Williams signed three year deals and Burgess, Hampshire and Lever signed four year deals according to the reports from that time.
Going off that it makes sense that Williams has been tied down first.
