For some reason some fans have assumed that when MC said we were looking for a FB next year that he meant Jowitt was going. I like you would jump to the far more obvious conclusion that it would be A Walker and perhaps even Hampshire. But in true Trinity fan style we see a conspiracy to get rid of one of our own.

I mean he may well be on his way for all I know but why draw that conclusion at this point baffles me a bit.

If we are losing one of our players for next year at full back, I feel it may be Hampshire.

MJ has earned the right to that number one shirt, and with Miller and Linos partnership looking like its now gelling. Therefore Hampshires game time could reduced once fit.

Its a shame as i do like him, and have seen him play well for us wherever he has played.

Both parties may feel, after the last contract negotiations that enough is enough and may wish to part ways

It’s a tough one for Hampshire. He is in essense the ultimate squad player. He can play to a good level at 1,6,7 even wing. He may not even play every week but would be a valuable squad player. Depends if he’s happy with that or wants more. There will always be opportunity through injury and the lad doesn’t lack ability or effort.

He’s highly thought of at Wakey no doubt but given the choice I’d keep Hampshire and let Walker go. Walker put in a couple of good performances when called on and would go with thanks. Still plenty of the season left yet though so who knows.

The only thing I can say for absolute certain is that there was a press release recently saying we wanted a new full back for next season (and a prop)

It might be I have assumed they won’t renew Max’s contract based on that
However I’d like to think if we are looking for a new fb it would logically be for a an established fb and at the expense max, or else why bother with another full back?



I can say with absolute certainty that since that incredible rookie year he’s only played intermittently and has never had a proper long term run at fb

Doesn’t this year show you need more than 1 full back in a squad?

Absolutely yes

But where does that leave Rocky
Assuming we let Walker go also or we’d have 4 full backs

Was that before or after he’d just jumped out of the way of Andre Savelio?
