Yeh agreed there is only certain positions that have become available but the players being changed for that position don't fit in my opinion.

I just dont understand some of the changes.......and on sunday was the prime example.

How could Lomax be better in that position until he played there?

If Bowen as such bad knees then he wont play at Widnes but lets all be prepared for Hampshire to make mistakes that could cost us the game is positional play at full back was all wrong and he was tormented by Wilkin and I can see Kev Broen doing the same.

I do see why Wane is putting Hampshire there for his speed etc but I think there is more to him than just that.

I'm a great believer in players earning their place. I don't think that it's right to give someone a run of games in a position to give them experience, just because they show potential. I really don't care about age. Players mature at different rates. Danny Bough being a prime example.

I made the point earlier that I think we should have signed him and who is to say that Danny won't still be playing in 3 or 4 years time? Over the last 2 or 3 years he's been consistently the best Half Back in Super League, so why wouldn't Wigan want to sign the best? In 3 or 4 years Hampshire, Williams & Powell could all be long gone. Casualties of the game, like many before, who failed to make it after showing promise.

I agree with you, I can't for the life of me see Ryan Hampshire as a full back, but then I guess Shaun Wane has earned the right to make mistakes and not have his judgement called into question by the likes of you and I (though it won't stop us!).
