Other fans from here and RLfans, I'd swap him for Denny Solomona guy and a wedge of cashPanchitta Marra wrote:Who said he was a superstar or was going to be a superstar.medlocke wrote:I'm really surprised that nobody is sticking up for him or have all his fans come to realise that his rise to superstar status was only hype?
As your so pro-active about Hampshire, what's your answer to all this.

Re: Hampshire
I must have been watching a different cup game as from what I saw, Hampshire played quite well and was involved in more than one move leading to Castleford tries!
I would add that Powell must think, like Wane his best position is indeed Full Back seeing that he played a big Forward at Stand Off, but was that a tactical ploy to combat a big Stand Off built like a forward in the Salford team, especially when Hampshire is on the slight size.
If the latter, great thinking on the part of Powell!

That's a fair comment meds, but does it resolve the issues we have in the halves.Panchitta Marra wrote:Who said he was a superstar or was going to be a superstar.medlocke wrote:I'm really surprised that nobody is sticking up for him or have all his fans come to realise that his rise to superstar status was only hype?

What would you like to see happen at 6 & 7 with Solomona being a replacement for Charnley?, or are you looking at solomona in the half backs?
Re: Hampshire
Solomona and Manfredi on wings with Gelling & Gildart inside, Tierney to 1 Sam and Williams in the halfs, Smith to Saints, Moose & Isa to the Championship, bring in 2 big huge props from the NRL one a veteran with plenty of experience like we had with Craig Smith and another around 26, plenty to pick from, how about a couple of these, Luke Burgess, Sam Tagataese, Ben Hannant, Junior Roqica, Tim Mannah, Ben Matulino, Aiden Tolman, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, lets get IL to splash the cash on some quality from down under seeing that theres not that much knocking around Super Deper League at the momentPanchitta Marra wrote:That's a fair comment meds, but does it resolve the issues we have in the halves.Panchitta Marra wrote:Who said he was a superstar or was going to be a superstar.medlocke wrote:I'm really surprised that nobody is sticking up for him or have all his fans come to realise that his rise to superstar status was only hype?

Can't see many bigger named Aussie's being attracted to SL on the wages the British game can offer.

Re: Hampshire
Couldnt and still can't understand the hype that surrounds Hampshire,he is nothing more than potential yet to some people he's the coming man,i just dont see what some people see.
Enlighten me as to why this lad who can't seemingly get a game at Cas now there injurys seem to be coming to an end is going to save Wigan?

He is getting game time at Castleford but not being over used by Powell in the same way that Patrick was not by Wane at Wigan.fozzieskem wrote:Couldnt and still can't understand the hype that surrounds Hampshire,he is nothing more than potential yet to some people he's the coming man,i just dont see what some people see.

Re: Hampshire
But he's getting those games as a result of injuries,itll be interesting to see if and where he fits in now Cas's players are slowly starting to come back,clearly not in the halves and how is he going to dislodge Dorn at fullback?
Seems to me the lad has suffered from a case of being totally overhyped by Wigan when really he's done nothing to justify it yet,i really want the lad to succeed but cmon i think some fans really,really need to tone expectations down about him.
