IF the club were serious about the deadline that was set for Hampshire signing and he didn't sign, surely, they will have made plans for his replacement, be that Walker from London or someone else.
I like Hampshire's busy style and as a running HB he has looked more likely than any of our other pivots to break open opposition defences BUT and it's a huge but, if the lad wont accept what has been offered and the club believe that the offer is reasonable, then the lad will be off, just as soon as someone makes him a better offer.
Nobody could blame him for doing so as RL is a short career but, equally, you cant have your halves always on the brink of leaving.
Now, more than ever, we need some stability (and quality) in the halves.
Brough looks to be past his sell by date and Miller, for whatever reason just hasn't offered his usual contribution.
I guess only Chester and the coaching staff know why we have been poor in the halves but, on current form and based on what we should "expect", Brough is offering lease, with Miller next worst and Hampshire 3rd.
Certainly worth having a re shuffle for our remaining games
