Five weeks after those comments, Hawkins was unveiled as an Exeter player after signing a long-term contract. Baxter said on Wednesday he had to dampen speculation in February. "I was asked by the player not to make any announcement he'd signed for us," added Baxter. "I was in a catch 22. He was a young guy who is ambitious, wanted to play for Wales and didn't want any drama around his selection. "We didn't make any announcement and allowed that course to run. I was put in a difficult scenario when a load of rumours broke out. "I don't know where they came from. They put me in a situation where I had no option but to deny what was going on because I'd promised." [/QUOTE]
