Hampshire

Looks to me like he's a knocking bet to replace McGuire at Leeds, and that would be a disaster for us.

Me thinks it's a lot closer to home and it's not Wire.

Saints are after him i heard.

They have been for a while but Wigan won't sell him to Saints.

Wigan won't and don't have a choice.He can sign for whoever he wants.

Agree 100% with you. Problem is SW will get his way at whatever cost including players. And believe me Rocky at the moment is the tip of the iceberg.ST signing was a smoke screen of mammoth consequences.

Intriguing, can you say anymore?

KITD, Don't leave us dangling!!

Sorry did not mean to be mischievous. I Just listen to friends and family in the know who I trust. Problem is whenever anything That is said against regarding the Club and SW on here you are pillorised to the point of feeling like a liar.All I will say is Rocky is not the only top player on verge of leaving because of the Wane policies and we won't like the outcome.

Thanks for that update.

I just hope that there is a meaningful squad left, once he finally gets the boot.
Any ideas on LT, did he upset him too?

For the SW Supporters Club, in the land of the blind.......

If any of this is true and the club are seriously thinking of offloading Hampshire and signing Ratchford, then the lot of them are madder than a box of frogs!

We've got Sam back next year and he's better than Ratchford be it at full back or stand off.
Hampshire will tear SL apart with his pace at 6.
Ratchford can't hold down the 6 shirt at Wire when everyone's fit.

Ryan is the best half back we've had at the club since Edwards. Just because Waney refuses to give him a go at 6 doesn't mean we should get rid. Quite the opposite!
Sometimes I wish Mo was back. He'd have told Waney "Play him or I'll get another coach who will".
Maybe one day IL will try that one!
It might work out far better than IL ever dreamed of!

That is correct. I have a source from inside the club, and the mood of some of the players is almost like the John Dorahy era, for those that remember it.
Wane's pig headed attitude and my way or the highway approach is causing massive problems within the camp.
I have never been a Wane knocker, but enough is enough.
With the squad we have we should be running away with this league, and a lot of the players know it. But Wane's stubborn refusal to change something that is blatantly not working is cause for great concern to everyone, especially the players themselves.
I find it totally incredulous that IL is allowing this to continue and giving Wane his blessing to drag the club into god knows what.
Ryan Hampshire for one will be going if Wane stays because he dared to ask to be given a chance at half back. A position he has excelled at all his life, and believe me he won't be the last.
IL has to put the club before his misguided loyalty to Wane and act now before things get worse.

Sounds like Wane has lost the team and that has only 1 outcome now. If Wane is here next season i will be shocked a coach that loses the dressing room will eventually be fired.

I think its discusting the way Hampshire being treated if SW had any nounce at all he would play Rocky at 6 come on Shaun listen to the fanns that can see whats going on stop being stubborn and give him a chance at 6

The second a coach starts listening to the fans is the second he loses his job. Neither of Wigan's starting half backs are playing badly, why drop either of them? I'm not saying Hampshire is a bad player, but a coach should never listen to a fan.

I personally think the halves are doing well(still room for improvement)but,for me,we need to beat teams in the forwards ( before we try to beat them out wide).We have got to keep our current two halves,or try a new combination.Obviously the smith/Powell combination doesn't seem to work,so we need to try the ones that do.Whether that be smith/Hampshire,Smith/Williams or Williams/Hampshire.Its do or die time if we want to win the GF this season
