I thought it was the club who turned its back on Hampshire.

Spot on there ,we stuck with Gaskell ,LOL

Don't think Carter even offered Hampshire a contract, Miller was offered one but left anyway

I wouldn't want Miller back. Club Captain who left us for our bitterest rivals.
No thanks, plus he was rubbish last season so a definite no from me.

Clearly there are better people on here to say what happened but it wasn't a one time thing. Those contract negotiations were difficult over a few seasons.

Anyway, last time round he said he didn't want to play Championship so I don't think it's a good fit and he has a gig and Wigan so why would he want to come back.

I still think it's time for fresh faces.

Thought there was an option at Wigan but not sure who’s favour. He may be available.

Isn’t Brandon Wakeham available again? There was talk of him last season.

Him and Waqa Blake would be 2 big signings. Blake can also play wing if the Walmsley deal has hit the buffers.

Can’t wait to see who comes in and how the squad shapes up.

Waqa Blake stated in a recent interview in the aussie press that he wanted to stay in Australia for family reasons, seems he has children living in Perth, and is also considering a move to the other code to play near them. Plus he was reportedly earning Aus$500,000, so I don't think we will see him in the rwb anytime soon

If that anywhere near the figure then it would be unlikely. I’m sure we will pick up some quality for the remaining players.

I wonder if there will be a signing released before or with season tickets..

Needs to be announced tonight to cause a rush tomorrow morning.

Whilst I think Hampshire is half decent player there as to be some reason he has never settled anywhere and made a permanent spot at half back or any position in the backs . Last year spent playing reserve grade. My opinion is he believe he thinks highly of himself and money orientated

What have you seen that brings you to that conclusion?

He isn’t creative. Miller, Hampshire, boats have sailed. Cannot understand constantly dragging old names up. Both presumably wanted more money and left. End of.

I think it was confirmed that we didn’t actually offer Hampshire a contract so he had no choice but to leave.

Yet it was fine for Miller to leave for money reasons.

Think Hampshire's face did not fit ,far better player than some fans \ ,Chester gave him credit for Two games were he was brilliant at 7, were Hull away, lost by one point but he linked up great with milky, and Leeds away .When the tv pundits said, they could not understand why he was not in the team more often . Think the main problem was Finn( one good season out of 3) but Chester could not see that and that is also the reason,why Williams never got a fair crack as well

Avenger , it is well known he has hung out for more money, from his record he has always been last player to be signed every season, so one of two things either money or your1 not that good ,take your pick. Miller was offered a lot better offer we couldn't or didn't want to but even when wad leaving in 2022 kept us up by controlling the last couple of games. That in my eyes means more than money or who he went to. Take the rivalry out of the emotiov

When you pick two games to show him doing well, you are saying he isn't consistently good enough.

For me, Hampshire is an outstanding athlete with great skills, but he lacks the game managent/team skills that will make him great. He needs a Finn just like Miller and Lino.

chester actually picked ryan 85 times in 4 years he also suffered 2 broken jaws in this period or he would of played more. When ryan left wakefield chester phoned him to sign and play full back for leigh. He didn't get offered a deal at wakefield and to be fair it wasn't down to chester it was Carter who said hel never play again while I'm ceo I hate his dad. Miller on tje other hand wanted to stay but the club delayed and delayed then after he'd signed for cas the club wanted to phone them and pay a fee for him to come back without playing.

would you like to go to Chinese first match of season, bring your son and wife if you want, il pay.

I'm up for that. I'm a sweet and sour guy.

For me Ryan fits perfectly as to what we need. A player that can play half back and full back. Whether we can get him is another story. Dagger would have done the same but went to York unfortunately.

I hardly ever spoke to Carter, but I knew we had something in common. Can't put my finger on it

I didn’t know you couldn’t negotiate with agents either because they were just trying to get the best deal for their clients.

Well I can't negotiate with agents but probably not the same reason.
