if backed 100 per cent and not slaughtered and dropped for every mistake when others were far worse then he might of done better at full back. He's probably the most natural half the country has produced in years and wane decides to play him full back when the country is crying out for fast halves with vision and who can pass. Ryan needs his hands on the ball and will make things happen hes not Sam and Sam is not ryan bearing this in mind Ryan's running game was completely taken away and he didn't have the power to run through people. He's blistering pace great hands and awareness use it. Wigan completely missed a trick not bringing George and ryan through together and building a big pack behind them to help them they knew each other inside out. He's never demanded nothing from anyone or any team but promised them and been let down. A new contract was offered to keep him away from sts Leeds or wire even though wigan don't want him. He's finished at wigan with wane there that's the bottom line he could lose both halves and bookers and he's play a fan before recall ryan. Final thought in the academy ryan sniffed around and was scoring 20 or 30 tries per season when he went to full back it dropped to bout 5 it might be cause it's the wrong position or style of play

Thanks mr/mrs ryan

hes not wrong though

I'd say it's pretty much spot.



SW would love to see 13 Wilie Isa's playing for us. SWs inability to let players express themselves and using three quarters as additional forwards is stinking the place out at the moment. Not a popular view but I can't see anything changing this unless ST comes back as good as new which isn't guaranteed.

Last season was bad and we've continued playing the most unattractive style of play for many many seasons. Hampshire on his own wouldn't change it entirely but he would at least give us a strike player with pace.

Reading that interview i think Hampshire's time with Wigan is all but over,though i suspect if he doesnt set Cas's world on fire he'll be back saying all the right things next season,at his age he should be chomping at the bit to play anywhere not dictate (it seems) where he will or wont play,rightly he was sent off as he clearly doesnt see eye to eye with someone in the backroom.



Any young lad who comes in is potential very few are the finished article i keep hearing how great Hampshire is,but to me is far and away just potential,a pot load sure but far from the finished thing,perhaps if he'd have kept his head down he would have come in for Williams who does look very tired this season so far to me,but thats another story.



I think Wigan played it right with the contract as it protects their investment in him i suspect though his time may well be over as Wigan

He's sending SW a message? Hardly. More like the team has injuries and Ryan can cover in the halves. If the FB would have bee injured I'm sure Powell would have played him there.



Do you really think Rocky has the power to pick hi positions al of a sudden?

How does anyone know if he's comfortable not playing FB?

he said so

he wanted to leave but wigan wouldnt let him had offers from Leeds and Saints and a few more, they only allowed him to go to Cas if he signed a new contract. Not rated by Wane.

I don't get people's issue with him here. He was dropping bombs at fb which aren't really a requirement of a stand off. He keeps getting older and keeps going longer without a crack at his best position. Really rate him and don't get why we never gave him a shot in the halves

he was better than George and George was given the shot at the wrong position.

Have you read what he said? He is basically saying how happy he is that he has got a chance in the halves at Cas. He is happy because he has got a chance in his best position. Where have i or he said he can pick and choose where he plays?



It's a clear message to SW. As reading between the lines goes, this one is about as easy as 1,2,3.
