What does the future hold for Hampshire? Are we going to sign him up to a better deal with more game time, or let him go to another club?

No way we would let him go to another club, I reckon he will replace green next year.

Agreed he'll be starting next year

With the news of Bowen wanting to stay another season I would think 6 is nailed on for him!

Signed a 5 year contract with Saints.

That's not funny

He would get plenty game time at Workington.

He needs to be patient this year and Wigan need to ensure they make room for him next by offloading one of Bowen or Green.

He's too good to be sat in the stands.

don't worry he is contracted until the end of 2016 anyway, and he will get more and more game time as the season goes on. We are spoilt at the moment with having Hampshire, Williams and Powell in the wings as back up options for the pivots

We should be aiming at Hampshire and Williams being our half back partnership for many years to come, as simple as that really. Its not often you get two players of such high quality playing together throughout the junior ranks at all representative levels. That combination needs to start being worked on in a first team enviroment as soon as fixtures allow over the next season or 2.

What about Matty Smith? He's only young himself and already a very integral part of the set up.

Now here is an idea for 2016 onwards-

1. Rocky
6. Williams
7. Smith

Williams like Rocky looks like a player that could play 2-3 positions.
