This.

I see your point but if it transpires that max is 3rd choice FB for next year then i would say that would be harsh on him. Maybe to say he would be very unlucky would be a better way to put it.

Probably start on the bench and put pressure on the starting halves.
Rocky after he turned the offers down was 'offered' to HKR by his agent, they declined. Don't think his agent has done him any favours.

It would be good Pop Tart of your simple but sensible plan of playing the best player in 1,6 and 7 were to instigated next season as it certainly was not a plan we adhered to in 2019 which was a case of Miller and Brough selected at 6 and 7 no matter what. If Rocky signs then he should play at 7.

Not really considering we’ve only just signed Walker, it would be a waste of the salary cap surely?

Why would I deny (or make it up) that I have attended half a dozen games but in the executive box and one awards dinner?

I’ve made the comment a few times as I do believe you’re the same person, until I’m proved otherwise it’s your word against mine. A bit like where people associate me with other accounts, it might not be true but I have no way to prove otherwise



My speculation is based on the majority of last season, where he played Fullback but the comment on a player going out on loan wasn’t really to do with Rocky, it was more to do with Walker and Jowitt, as I really can’t see why a club with limited funds would sign 3 fullbacks or sign any player only to loan them straight back out. Do you think that would be good business?

Firstly about your multiple accounts, If that's what you get off on then you go for it chief, it doesn't bother me one bit whether you call yourself eastmoor dragon , trinity18, or dreadnaught or any of the other six(6)accounts you use from time to time, but what does bother me is when you make unfounded accusations about me brawling in public at the Widnes match, you are clueless as to who I am as you have never met me, so maybe you could easily clear this up by offering some sort of proof.

Weren’t there photographs of the people that were accused of scrapping, not quite sure how that’s gonna help you though?

If I'd have been at the game mate I'd have been stood with you and some of the other Normy lads plus the rest of those who I usually stand with, but I wasn't even at the game as I was working.

There’s probably more than six (6) actually but that’s not to say every account you think is associated with me, actually is champ.

I was asked to stop posting about that particular subject, but who I think you are will remain the same for the foreseeable future.

End of discussion.

League Express report it as a STRONG POSSIBILITY that he'll re-sign; League Weekly report says that he HAS re-signed. Hope the latter is correct.

I hope he has re-signed. Committed and creative.

Just on Broughy though, after ten rounds he was on the Man of Steel leader board. His injury side-swiped him perhaps more than we realised. Would Rocky have been on the leader board?

I cant understand why people are happy about this - a mediocre player has held the club to ransom and looks like has won - taking money we could of probably sign someone who may take us further than the relrgation scrap we will be in- I am actually looking now as to who we will beat?

What a tool, think of it this way, maybe he thinks he’s been given bad advice and realises it was wrong? As for mediocre, Chester liked him, apart from the sin binning in the London game the lad has played every minute of the season. Also look at his season stats, far from mediocre.

Normal service has been resumed with your dire posts.
Come and see him play more than once before you make comment.

He might not take us to the top but I'm certain he isn't going to take us down.
If he's not good, we play Walker, TJ, Miller and Brough in the positions he plays.
Best case he takes one of those positions because he's better than them and adds some great goal kicking, probably fastest man on the field off the mark and has a great step.

In terms of money, how can you possibly know what he has accepted.

I'm not in the Rocky is God camp but I'm closer than I am to yours.

Ok, so hes not Jonathan Thurston, but hes not mediocre either.

For me he was our best and most consistent player last year.
Also, hes local, loves the club and plays with heart and passion.

Right back on the forum after a short ban, my first. Fair call no issues it was getting silly and needed cooling down.

If this happens then brilliant news, a bit of a pantomime that must have involved a certain amount of humility on both sides.

My last comment on the subject was by the way 'One more go, I wish we’d been able to keep him, I think we will miss him a lot and IMO this may have been an error.'

In a team decimated by injuries he filled in were needed , was consistently. Our best back. Having him pushing the likely incumbents has to be a good thing. As regards the money the club will have only paid what it thinks he’s worth similarly he probably feels he’s received best offer he’s going to get.

Much rather have Hampshire than a rent an Aussie or ‘development’ player.

Seems fair, advice can be well-meant but wrong if this is the case these things happen.

He was far from mediocre regardless of whether you think he's an HB or not. I thought Hampshire along with Green and Kirmond was the three players who really made a difference in the last few weeks of the season. Not saying others didn't but these were the ones who stuck in my mind

Green gave us real grunt upfront.

Kirmond offered little in attack but in defence rallied time and time again.

Hampshire may have been out of position but he seemed to be the only one in our backline who seemed to want to play an attacking game, his try tally proves that.

For me, he's wasted on the wing. He's a decent FB but it's at HB where his future lays in my mind. Do I think he's a genius HB? Well no not yet but there's time. That said it's nonsense to say he must replace Brough immediately, thats so wrong as to be just daft, instant destruction of a team IMO. Those two are the incumbents and it's Hampshire job to keep the pressure on and take his chance when it comes and it will, Brough is ancient and Miller has started picking up injuries more regular, it will happen. He only needs to look at Kirmo or big Dave to see that it often comes late even for the best or better still Brough who didn't really settle at 7 until he joined us for the second time.

Tanginoa???

Add??? Context???

Obviously to add to this sentence, for me he was our best player in the later part of the season.

It's not obvious at all, Vastcap wrote a fairly long comment and got a one word reply, not to say that I don't agree about Tanginoa but still, people should try adding context before posting.

It always amuses me when vasty writes essays (I imagine in a word doc to check spelling) only to receive a one word answer
