I have not seen any news on Rocky Hampshire, he seems to be a player that every team would love to have, but no one will sign him up. He seems a fans favourite but not a managers choice.

Looks to me like the money that Rocky thinks he’s worth is not what the club thinks he’s worth . Personally I think he’s a cracker and a must have especially running with a Smaller squad , remember him being late to the party last time contracts were being negotiated, so here’s hoping they both see some common ground as will certainly be missed IMO

His dad hasn’t been on for ages so my guess is negotiations are ongoing.

Why does no other club ever come in for him?

Does anyone know when his current contact ends? Is he still being paid by Trinity, or is he basically on the dole?

Must admit one player i go down to watch ,gives 100%. Scored some important trys for us,His short kicking game is improving ever year .Bad loss to me if he goes

Maybe they do but they don't value him any higher than we do at a guess.

As per last time, would like him to stay as he is a valuable asset, sounds like Leigh are interested but he's better staying in SL for me.

Best full back at club for me but going on rumors hes gone.
Now i said that he will soon be announced

Best FB? Debatable.

Be the ultimate irony if he teamed up with CC again, the very same CC who allegedly ignored him demotivated him didn't coach him properly blah blah blah. Egg on face or what.

Where is it that Rocky has stated this???? to get egg on his face

He didn't but someone else did. Feel free to trawl through previous posts

There's a half back place at Hull now Sneyd has left for Salford.

Luke Gale is taking that.

I see either Rocky stays, potentially gets a gig with Toulouse or has to drop to the lower leagues bring the most likely options.

.

And everyone are entitled to there own opinions

rumours Hull are offering Shaul out to clubs - and tempted to offer a contract to Hampshire if Shaul does go elsewhere. Would be good business for Hull - Shaul is a specialist 1, who isn't going to be 1st choice, so if we can get RH his utility value would be great

I know, hence the use of the word 'debatable'.

Really hope Rocky stays

Key is to find him his permanent position
I don’t know him but I imagine he feels he deserves permanent starting position

Which he absolutely does

He’d get the number one shirt for me

I want Hampshire to stay but we do seem to be in the situation again (if the rumours are true) that he wants more than the ciub think he is worth.
I don't know and those negotiations are not my business anyway.
Rocky is an enigma. I personally don't see him as starting FB or half back - form of others may change that of course, BUT his utility quality is priceless.
I hope it gets sorted and he stays.

Yup that’s how I see it.

This of course may have nothing to do with Hampshire, maybe WP has different ideas, although he didn’t seem shy in playing the lad.

Rocky must be one of the most regular good performers in the team. Think he covered 5 positions and scored from all but one.
Don't think CC helped in his development tbh but he should in my view be given an opportunity for the next couple of seasons.
Key players spent quite a few matches on the side lines and cover should be a priority.

As a utility player, he is worth less than the first choice in whatever position he can fill in for, which is probably the part that is frustrating for him. I imagine he sees himself as the best half-back or the best full back at the club and should be first choice, and getting a first choice salary. Those in the know, the coaches, seem to think otherwise.

The hard part for him must be the fact that he is only just not as good as the first choice, almost on a par.

I’m sure I will get shot down in flames but I’m going to stick my neck out and say that I hope we don’t offer him a deal. Not a criticism of him but he clearly would be a utility player covering FB, both half back positions and outside backs at a push. However, like it or not we have that player now in Gaskell. If I’m honest Rocky frustrates me as a player. He’s ok at FB but nowhere near Jowett and as a half back I feel he runs the other backs out of the game too often.

Obviously I don’t know for sure but I felt that when the CEO said at one of the online forums that he had made a mistake signing a player last year and succumbed to pressure from the fans, I felt he was talking about Ryan. So could well be wrong but I’d be surprised if we signed him. No idea as to whether we’ve offered him anything but it seems like the repeat from last year where we were all wondering if he was staying or going. So IMO it suggests we haven’t offered or he thinks he’s worth more.
