Ben Hampton for Fullback?

[Ricky Stuart]

Off - contract at the end of this season and Storm are having problems staying under the cap,

Can play Fullback and in the halves

If we could get Hampton we could have:

1. Hampton
6. Reynolds
7. Hodko
9. Lichaa

as our spine for the next 5-7 years and if them 4 can get a combination working between them they can be lethal

He only looks good when playing with the 2/3 but wouldn't mind him

We'll after browns performance last night trying to look like Greg brentnall jumping for the bombs, I'd drop him for nearly loosing us that game with 3 errors that lead to 3 try's , I thought both our wingers had a great game in defense and attack , so hopefully we can sign a quality Fullback for next year !!!!

More I think of Mitch last night more I think **** we better sign Boyd or Mead or Hoffman at least with Rona.

 

[Ricky Stuart]

Also playing with players like the big 3 will definitely make him (Ben Hampton) a better player just like how Gareth Widdop grew when he played with them

yh he signed before sharp and carney crap so he is having second thoughts..but he can only pull out to stay with storm. Sharks offer is much bigger than storms so i think he will stick to the deal. Cowboys offered him a decent deal also but chose sharks over them.

If we were to sign a player from the storm i would go for Munster..not off contract though

Brown played a good game against the front runners of the comp. Even Slater misses the occasional bomb under pressure. Stewart was guilty of misreading a kick which led to a try. Under a towering kick, the best option is to jump - otherwise the momentum is with the attackers. It's not like he dropped every downfield kick. Give the guy a break. For the bulk of the game he was great in defence and attack. He will learn from his experience.

I dont rate brown and after last night my opinions even stronger , if we had lost last night I know who I would have been blaming for the loss , that's for sure , if that was a semi final game he would have been in the Steve Marvin folk law

 

[KelpiesHuskies]

i thought brown tried his best even the best fullbacks make some mistakes. what about brett stewart air swing.

Stewart dropped 3 bombs against the Roosters, but because he finally played a great half of football in the 2nd half the media seems to keep forgetting his mistakes in the 1st half

Melbourne Storm put their faith in Hampton this year to step up and replace Gareth Widdop at 5/8, by not going out in the off-season to recruit anyone. Only injuries have stopped Hampton this year. Like Widdop & Lockyer, Hampton is just at comfortable wearing the number 1 or 6 shirt. Hampton would be a absolutely sensational signing. Ben would have learned a thing or two from some of the games best in Cronk and Slater. Please Dessie & Raelene, make this signing possible. This kid is class.

Dogs already have a ready made fullback, but he's on the wing at the moment.

Was mentioned last night most young fullbacks when they debut in first grade start out on the wing (that might be Gould/Rabs BS though).

But it'd makes sense as to maybe why we aren't seeing Thompson in #1.

Thompson deserves a crack. Would do a much better job than Perret and Brown. Might not be the best at kick returns but i have no doubt he would out play them in every other area.
