Quite a journey he's been on to get back where he started, second time lucky hopefully.

Suppose he’s always a loan option if we need cover. Good luck to him. He’s a solid player with great utility which means he’ll always fit somewhere.

He's hardly played at all in his latest spell with Cas due to injuries, hope the lads luck improves.

hope injuries leave him alone this year

Nah, move on I say.

I think he may go well. You only have to look at Jay Pitts, left us as a young starlet, never really did much, eventually came home to play the best RL of his career, it can happen - a lot.

Get my tin hat but better than the six we got now Hope he goes well .Plenty of time for him never let us down and have 100%

Re: Ryan Hampshire signs : Fri Jan 27, 2023 1:46 pm  

His value has always been as a decent utility player. He fancied more but there was always someone a little better than him in his preferred positions, certainly in the halves. Personally, I liked him at full back. I hope it goes well. The frustrating thing is that if he does well, it'll be in the mode we could have had him as, utility.

On the other hand, the wages for a Wigan utility back might be better than for a Wakey utility, and a better chance he'll get a medal

I wonder how man first team games he'll get this season.

I really don't understand the interest. He's a Wigan player.

Re: Ryan Hampshire signs : Fri Jan 27, 2023 3:59 pm  

Not overly surprising, he was a product of their youth system under Wane and Peet so they know all about him

Yes PT but he's also a martyr to those who despise the evil club who let him go - and of course he's now way better than Morgan Smith will ever be

I don't get it either, never did, he gets more comments than most of the players who actually play for us, most odd.
