Re: Hampshire
You've got to wonder when a coach like Powell (who I have a lot of respect for) thinks a prop and mcshane are better half options then does anyone see a future for Hampshire in the halves in superleague?
Maybe at his age he would be better dropping down to championship in the halves if he wants a fair crack at that position

Mind you
Based on that game McShane is a shoe-in for the England scrum half job

The best form of defence is attack!!
Out of the black and into the red, remember you don't get anything for two in a bed!!

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?
Re: Hampshire
You are very negative Meds. Mind you, you said the same about Lockers 
FWIIW, I thought he had a decent game. Try scoring kicks, tying defenders before releasing passes for tries. Defence was reasonable. Returning kicks I would say average.
Powell rightly decided he wanted to play the game in a manner best suited to a hooker at HB and with a decent fill in FB playing fullback.
Despite playing out of position he has simply got on with the job.

Re: Hampshire
Said it before and will say it again, Hampshire needs to do his talking on the pitch, I think its fair to say he is not letting anyone down but also he hasn't produced what some might have expected.

Re: Hampshire
For me if he sees his future at 6 he needs to be playing there on the regular. Blake Green wanted to play 6 and moved to superleague because he couldn't get in the NRL and was being constantly played out of position. That move made his career.
I think the brave thing for Hampshire to do would be to drop in the championship at a top club and get a full season under his belt - if he is good enough he will be picked up again

As your so pro-active about Hampshire, what's your answer to all this.
